This mod removes the red color outline, weapon icon, armor lights, and vibrant green clothing, keeps faction color armor, improves tracers tracking and ragdoll of infantry.

This mod goes well with the Infantry No Damage and Infantry No Expense mods.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT CHANGES DOES THIS MOD MAKE TO THE INFANTRY?

Removed the weapon icons located on top of infantry.
Removed enemy red and allied cyan Body outlines.
Removed the vibrant green clothing worn by the infantry, but maintain faction armor color.
Removed the armor lights located in various parts of the infantry armor.
Added a subtle blood, water, and smoke effect when receiving ballistics or crushing damage.
Added shadows to dead bodies.
Improved chances of dead bodies appearing after ragdoll.
Improved the weapon tracers to better track where the infantry are shooting at.
Improved the ragdolls in the following ways:
Increased quality as they now use their living mesh because the colors and general appearance of the default ragdoll mesh did not match with the living mesh. They now appear where the infantry are located before death instead of a random area around them. They no longer barrel roll and defy physics as obviously as before.

INSTRUCTIONS

Extract the file downloaded from NexusMods and copy the Infantry_No_Color directory into you mods directory for example:

Then in game enable the mod. This mod's default load order is set to 30.

REQUIRED MODS:
Enable Infantry

RECOMMENDED MODS:
Infantry No Expense
Greatly enhances the AI and visuals of the infantry.
Increases the amount of infantry spawned per location.
(With the Mod Options mod you can change the spawn rate between 0 and 30)

Infantry No Damage
So you can enjoy seeing them run around while not damaging you Mechs.
(With the Mod Options mod you can change their weapon damage between 0 and 30)

OR

Inferno Infantry
Allows some infantry to spawn with SRMs thus making some infantry a real threat.
**WARNING**: AI Lancemates ignore infantry even when attacked.
This is vanilla behavior, and it is something I can't change  :(
You have been warned!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
