Radar icons and blips

The icon ids HUDSetRadarItemTexture takes and the code sets, and the radar's blip types (GUI: radar).

What is complete

Every icon a script or the code uses and every blip type the code adds are listed. The numbers are read from the code and the scripts; what each icon marks is inferred from who uses it. Classes are the character class byte CfgChar sets (+0x11a, AI).

31 entries. Data: research/references/radar-icons.yaml.
