Editing UI APB

[Bva 26]

I was watching youtube videos and seen people using a sort of edit to their UI where they see what the last objective is and having multiple different colors in their UI aswell for teamplayers and enemy team(showing with weapon and everything) in the killfeed

 

What is this and can you still do this?

[heelruby 66]

these are localization edits (basically editing language files to put whatever u want) and yes u can still do this

[Bva 26]

@heelruby Do you know how to do it, or is there a tutorial on how to do it?
I want to change it to different colors and be able to see the last objective of the match

Those are called localization configs and you can grab mine from my twitch channel page. It has exactly what you are looking for. Also if you need more help, DM me on the forums/discord because discussing game mods/configs in threads is against the forum rules.

Isn;'t this fun? We can all edit the game files however we please, meanwhile noobs are in all kind of standards... aren't you tired of exploiting? Game is dying for fuk sake.

Today is colored objective, tomorrow colored through wall players.

unapproved configs are cheating...plain and simple.

Anything that gives you an advantage that another player doesn't have: Remove Grenade smoke and Objective spoilers have to be the biggest offenders.

LO should just make obj spoilers the default...no one gives a shit about how you put up porn on a billboard and it cause a traffic jam somewhere.

Like where it tells you the stages?

[Leefekyn 203]

When the biggest issue with local edits is that people have the Final Stage written in their UI, as apposed to memorizing it or keeping the db up, then I really don't see this issue.

flaws entire config was on the approved list on https://www.gamersfirst.com/download but I guess they've since removed it(prob because of opgl nade glow) and yea localization edits were approved. Your right on no smoke tho.

Everything included in my public config is approved for usage and distribution by LO themselves. I've asked them about every single thing included with my config ZIP file and have received approval for each. Configs that were disapproved of I have excluded.

 

Mind you, this is only true about my newer config versions, not my original ones from 2017 which are also now outdated and will likely not function properly anymore anyway.

I've never seen my entire config being approved on there personally and haven't heard of it before. Regarding the Rainbow Concs/OPGL nade glow, I've been allowed to distribute that too so that wouldn't be a reason for it.

Thats the only thing in your config that would be unapproved if you go by old standard which is only text edits. I know the localization edit is approved since they've said its fine multiple times and its just a text file vs unpacking unreal files and editing them which is required for rainbow conc/opgl nade glow. Only stuff I've heard of not be allowed are crosshair-shaders/outline-shaders/no-smoke/no-muzzleflash and stuff like nude-mods and vehicle edits.

Actually, you cannot repack APB's UPK files to be used in APB because they use an encryption which only LO can do. The rainbow conc file is a really old file from some really old APB client which just simply still works due to the encryption being the same. I don't wanna go into detail because we are already scraping the bounds of the forum rules.

Pretty sure it wasn't an old client(at least not a public build or even a private/open test realm build) file some dev or someone who had the encryption key made that much like the nyan OSMAW. There were talks about someone having the encryption key back in like 2011 on a cheat forum. There have been a lot of "leaked" stuff like the apb reloaded server files for 4game version was teased to the apbemu team or apb reloaded's old server hardware being sold on ebay. Pretty sure nothing came of the server files or the old server hardware or it was just kept private.

I have no knowledge of this and none of the people I've talked to about it do either but it sounds plausible.

Cause you know what to expect in the next stage, you know if it's better to give up or just to keep fighting, you can prepare for the finale which is generally the most important part of the mission.
vs not knowing what to expect unless you memorized each mission.

I don't ever remember flaws being on there, unless it was added after day 1 and removed since as I don't use configs ( I did try the hold to crouch but it fucked me up more than not using it )

Got a LO approved link?

No. I assume its because they don't want to distribute anything with a player's name on it. What I meant to say was that every type of config and file edit that is available in my public config ZIP file is known to them and approved as okay to use. They know exactly what those do and they are all considered okay until the engine upgrade comes out officially to the live version of APB. If you feel like any of it is cheating then that is your own opinion on the matter. To me it is not impactful enough to make a big difference.

 

Also, if you're scared of it containing a virus, I also include VirusTotal links on my discord server each time I update it. I'm the safest option to get configs for APB (second to LO themselves of course).
