Sci-Fi Suit Zoom Overlay

Description
A custom drawn overlay that replaces the outdated and sometimes immersion breaking suit zoom HUD with a nice Sci-Fi looking Star Wars macrobinocular inspired HUD which includes the distance to where you are looking, the bearing you are looking along, and (optionally) highlights players and NPCs in white.

By default, all features of the overlay are enabled, see below on how to change what is shown.

To enable/disable the overlay client-side, the console command swrp_zoom enable/disable turns off the overlay only for whoever runs the command.

To enable/disable highlighting NPCs and players, the ConVar swrp_zoom_highlight_disabled 1/0 can be set for enabling/disabling the highlighting for ALL players on the server.

If the text in on the top of the overlay does not show in the Aurebesh font, use swrp_zoom_font enable/disable to turn it on/off.

Finally, if you want to disable the overlay entirely, the ConVar swrp_zoom_disabled 1/0 can be used to disable the overlay for everyone connected to the server.

Note: swrp_zoom_disabled 1 takes priority over swrp_zoom enable, so you can't just enable this client-side if the server has it disabled.
Note 2: Players that are ULX cloaked or using the Active Camouflage SWEP will not be highlighted.

A big thanks to Havok for introducing me to how mind-bending the stencil buffer is, and for holding my hand while I stumbled my way through my first gLua project.

Also, if anyone has any recommendations or ideas on things to add/improve with this, please feel free to let me know in the comments, or add me and send me a message.
As of right now, I do plan on making more overlays so you can switch between them if you'd like, but for now there's only going to be the one.

i really like the highlight players and npcs, as well as the distance and bearing, but i was wondering if u could make an addon that had those, but without it looking like ur looking thru binoculars, because it really reduces ur FOV and i like to be able to see in more than a small angle (basically make it so the black outer part is closer to the edge of the screen instead of the way it is now, or make it so u can set it to be like that)

Hey, I really like this mod, but I was wondering if you could include a feature to change the Aurebesh to English (or Basic, to keep with the Star Wars lore)?

I wish there was a suit zoom option where it makes the texture invisible and just, zooms

Yeah, it's still not fixed for me so I have just disabled it.

@Strac Thanks for letting me know, I've changed a bit with the font which should make it fail to load a lot less, and if that doesn't solve it you can now disable the text entirely with "swrp_zoom_font disable" in console.
