yup, that's the idea.

Yes, we can use a different key in the entity description file at entity load 
time, but we still need to store the relative-path-to-sprite filename in the 
eclass_t's "modelname" member.  This would override what is already there, so 
you would not be able to specify a "model" image as well.

The spritemodel is basically another model plugin (and works the same way that 
the md3 plugin does).  It is tied to using the eclass_t->modelpath only 
because entitymodel's are handled that way.  That is not something that would 
be a good idea to change right now.  So for now, I could make a patch to 
the .def file reader (eclass_def.cpp) that stores "_sprite" key names in the 
eclass_t's modelname member, then at a later date we could change the core to 
allow switing between model plugins (or not).

After that it would be just a matter of creating some images, changing the 
synapse configs and updating the .def files.
