Plugins for observers/casters

[phated]

This is a catch-all issue for things people want as plugins useful when observing or "casting" a game.

From Jordan:

• Creating flags or areas of note on top of the map to go back and see them later Added favourite areas plugin #128
• Player selector: Check boxes to see what players' planets you want to see at any given time. (Helps to reduce the noise if 2 players are fighting and a couple other players are around them too but you dont want to see them)
• More options for reducing planet clutter
• Be able to change player colors
• Be able to watch multiple places at once (picture in picture? split up the main map into 4 small maps each with independent viewports?)

ping @jacobrosenthal if he has any additional stuff.

If others have ideas, feel free to post and I'll roll up into the list.

Added the newly PRed Favorite Areas plugin crossing it off the list!

I've been having a look into changing player colors. It looks like they can be set like so: df.getProcgenUtils().huesByHash.set("address", 0)
I'm able to see the player's name tag color change in the planet preview card but the ring around the planet doesn't get updated. I'm guessing the planet needs to be rerendered somehow, but I can't find any functions to do that on df or ui. Does any one have any ideas on how to do that?

@Robiquet that likely needs updates in the core client.
