[LWOTC] ICONIC Missions - Unique Geoscape Icons for LWOTC

Description
This mod creates unique geoscape icons for each mission. All assets were created from existing game assets, handdrawn by me, or as credited below.

Thanks to .vhs for the faceless target preview used in the Rendezvous mission icon.

Additonal thanks to Mr. Mister for inspiring the creation of this mod, RustyDios for providing the template from which this mod was coded via config adjustments, Zyxplosion for an inspiring version of this mod's functionality for LW2, and to all in the LWOTC discord who provided constant feedback.

COMPATIBILITY: This mod should work with any mod that does not also alter the geoscape mission icons. It probably does not cause any crashes with any such mod, but I cannot guarantee that. This mod requires LWOTC to function, but should work with any other LWOTC overhauls such as Ted Jam.

Can't believe I'm here before this becomes a must have for everyone doing a LWOTC campaign :p

@TruckDaddy Sure! It's a possibility. But as someone who has never played CI, I'd need someone to walk me through the missions list and possibly help me with the icon locations in the files. Assuming they're even in a config file like LWOTC's are.

Any possibility of a version for Covert Infiltration?

@Evertrollee Yes, it should be! I tested it exclusively with mid-campaign saves.

Is it safe to install this mod mid-campaign?

@MrMister Me too 😂 For anyone who doesn't know, that little factoid is pretty much how this mod got started.

I still find it hilarious that just erasing a part of the ADVENT symbol makes for the perfect crane icon.

@RolandJ No, and I'm not sure it would be relevant as I haven't updated the golden path icons or other icons that would normally stay locked on the geoscape, such as Chosen Strongholds. If I recall correctly - and it's been a hot minute since I've booted up vanilla WOTC so I might be misremembering - all missions in WOTC are instant response, and therefore the only things staying on the geoscape would be the ones I didn't update because they were already unique.

Nice mod, great UX addition! Thanks! Is there a WOTC variant out there for those who don't use LWOTC?
