# Enhanced Text Color Mod
The Enhanced Text Color Mod modifies the translation file from Bananagaming to provide a cleaner look to the chat and grenade messages.
# About the mod
This version provides some further customization to how the chat messages are displayed as well as modifying some of the colours from the original mod.
You can find the complete file as well as some explanations to the modifications made so that you can extend you custom language if you have one.
# Enhancements
# Improved Grenade Messages
The grenade radio messages have been altered to remove the word (RADIO) as well as displaying clearyl who threw which grenade and from where did they throw it.
