CoolIcons - Visual icons for items and grenades

Description
Names are hard, okay?

Another semi-interesting addon that spawned out of personal interest.

Console Commands

This addon contains plenty of console commands. These are all controlled through the CoolIcons menu under the settings tab.

These are the only console commands you should actually concern yourself with:

GrenadeWarningDistance Distance at which the hostile grenade warning appears.

ItemIconDistance Same as above, but with icons for ammo, weapons, armor etc.

SeeThruWalls Should icons appear through walls. (1 = Yes 0 = No. Default is 1)

IconSize Size of the icons.

IconOutlines Create black outlines that should help with bright maps or colors. Only use these with the base icons.

What does it do?

CoolIcons adds visual icons for things such as, ammo, weapons, armor batteries, health kits and active grenades.

Each one with a unique icon to represent them, and alternatives with more distinct icons.

You can modify the color and size of these icons, the distance at which they are visible and even use your own icons in place of the base ones.

NOTE: Icons are centered using the entity's collision model, not the world model. This means the icon and world model may appear separate from each other with custom entities.

New updates out. Performance should be heavily improved whilst using this addon.

Very sorry for anyone who had FPS issues, I never realized my less-than-adequate code was the source of the problem.

This mod seems possibly be creating FPS issues. This is happening even with no items. I refering to mostly sudden frame drops like 10 or so for a second, before going back to normal the next second, before repeating.

This reminds me of Battlefield: Bad Company 2
