📋 About This Mod
This adds 3 paper dolls at the bottom of the screen showing the damage on each of your lance mates 'mechs. When one of them is destroyed it will have a subtle indicator.
Compatibility: Hud related mods usually have conflicts here, I will be working with a couple other authors soon to increase compatibility though!
Known Issues:
When a lance mate's mech is destroyed in co op, it will not turn transparent. Still working on a fix for this.
