[WIP] Blip sprite text placeholders

In the game GXT2 files, there are tokens (placeholders surrounded by "~" symbol) that starts with BLIP, which the game replaces with a blip sprite when displaying. It is used extensively through GTA V and GTA Online to indicate a blip on the map.

Here is an incomplete list of these tokens, found inside the game's GXT2 files (most of them found in global):

How to color these blip sprites?

R* colors them using HUD color tokens, for example, ~HUD_COLOUR_YELLOW~. You can still use ~s~ to reset the color. The default color is white.

How to use these tokens?

Just like you use other GXT tokens (like hud colors and input icons), place them in your text, such as:

The Ammu-Nation ~BLIP_GUN_SHOP~

~BLIP_INFO_ICON~ You can perform a takedown by pressing and holding ~INPUT_CONTEXT~ while aiming at a suspect. 

Finally...

I hope these will be useful when mod authors making help messages, menus, so on.
