Introduction:
Trouble In Terrorist Town icons are divided into four colors by default:
Blue icons are for weapons.
Green icons for general info. (Avatars, Player Roles)
Red icons for "Passive effect items", "Active use items" and last words said. (Body Armor, Radar, Disguiser)
Gold icons for more details about how a player died. (Props, Bullets, Headshots)
You should now have a 64x64 BGRA8888 format VTF image with 4 flags.
Here are four example icon PNGs:
