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

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.
