Transparent symbols #17

Open VanWeapon opened 2 years ago

Not sure if this is doable with custom commands or not, Looking for a modifier to allow creating a symbol with a transparent faction colour. Similar to how the monochrome modifier works, but instead of the off-white colour, transparent is used instead. This is so that I can use the black lines over the top of a custom background colour or another image. Examples

Friendly: unit_friendly_infantry_platoon

Monochrome: unit_friendly_armoured_battalion

Transparent:

unit_armour_(nato_app-6)

Hi,

AFAIK this is not compliant with APP6-C, (except for equipment symbols and mines), but I can see the utility and it shouldn't be too difficult to implement. It's been a while since I've looked at the code and I should probably update it to APP6-D at some point too, while maintaining legacy symbols from APP6-C (I never did get round to control measures!). I'm quite busy at the moment so I might not be able to resolve this quickly.
