Two suggestions: Persona sprites and set of backgrounds per chat/game

Hi, I use ME and I absolutely love it! I do have some suggestions though, but if they can't be implemented for whatever reason that's totally understandable, they're just two little things that would make everything "pop". I don't know if this is the right place to post them, I was going to ask in your discord server, but the invite link isn't working for some reason.

• My first suggestion is persona sprites. I see we already have the option to upload them, but I don't see an option to show them either in roleplay mode or game mode. They would work greatly both in moments where there is just narration or to show the "emotion" of our previous choice/action.

• My second suggestion has to do with backgrounds and music. We can add custom ones and even subfolders, but it would be nice if there was a setting where we could tell specific chats/groups to use that subfolder and only that one. For instance, I have two groups (two "games") and both have a modern setting but the first one is a grim mystery game and the second one is more slice-of-life and not so serious, so my suggestion is to have one group use only a set of backgrounds and music, and the other use another set, that could probably be done by selecting the folder at the beginning of the game mode when we are setting everything up.

These are my suggestions, I hope they're not something impossible or too meaningless to implement! If one of them are already implemented I apologize, I did search but couldn't find in the settings or agents. Thank you for all your hard work, I've been a big fan of yours for ages :)

I created an issue from your post :)

thank you!! :)
edit: apparently marinara said those features are already present?? i'm gonna try to find out why they're not working for me then. the sprites are in the right folder, and the characters' sprites work but not the persona sprites. and the game assets have the right files too, but maybe i did something wrong somewhere. but thank you anyway <3

edit 2: alright, for roleplay mode there is actually an option that I missed because it's been some time since I tested it with RP mode and have been testing it just with Game mode, but in the agent it was disabled by default, so I enabled it now and it worked!! But for game mode the Expression Engine agent doesn't show up, so I can't even enable that, so I don't know what to do to enable it in GM as well. it doesn't work for face expressions or for full body sprites, so maybe there is something else I missed. As for the game assets, apparently the feature wasn't working properly (ME wasn't recognizing to use only those files and was using every background I had uploaded in the settings instead despite me disabling the folders) but I reinstalled ME and that seemed to fix it, so I guess it was something that went wrong during installation maybe.
