BlipList

This message is sent to update the client's list of HUD blips (hive-sight/motion tracking).  Many thanks to CheesyPeteza for figuring out this message.

Byte
 Type.  This can be 0 or 1.  Info from CheesyPeteza: "Both types are displayed separately. This is especially important as I have not noticed ns using type 0 in the game so you could use this type to display your own blips without worrying about ns overwriting your messages."
Byte
 Number of blips.

For each blip, the following is added:

Coord
 The x-coordinate of the blip.
Coord
 The y-coordinate of the blip.
Coord
 The z-coordinate of the blip.

Additional info from CheesyPeteza: "All the sprites used ingame can be displayed, they are stored in numbers 0-128. They will be displayed animated at 10fps, so most of them will just look stupid. A lot of them will crash your server too. Here is a list of the ones not to use (7, 25, 26, 31, 32, 39, 40, 42, 71, 73, 93, 95, 107, 108, 111, 112, 121, 123, 124)."
