lgtm; need to test UHD resolutions and networked sounds.

Missing ping material, also scale is a little small on 4K

figured out the problem with the sound handle, turned out I was editing the game_sounds_ui text file from the original. Also added a message when someone pings a location (can be toggled off), so you can work out who to mute if someone is pinging way too often

@AdamTadeusz What's the current status of this design doc, has this been approved for merge?

[AdamTadeusz]

I don't really know who approves these design docs. I think I've addressed the concerns people have as best as I could.

I guess we would need to test this in multiplayer to see how this goes, but this works on my machine in an empty server. Maybe this could be hidden behind a feature flag if people aren't sure about it.

[sunzenshen]

Probably should be rebased to resolve merge conflicts with master branch.

[AdamTadeusz]

Too many commits to rebase in my opinion, merge+squash should be fine as discussed?
