Languages
The entire philosophy of custom localization configs in APB is based on substituting language files with custom ones. By default, APB comes with 7 language folders in the \APBGame\Localization
folder in the game's directory. Despite each folder's files seemingly using a different format, the structure of each file is the same (so TaskObjectives.INT
has the same content as TaskObjectives.RUS
). Each file has to have the same extension as the folder it's placed in.
The game can be forced to load a specific localization through the use of a user-made shortcut to APB.exe
in the \Binaries
directory. After creating the shortcut, open its properties and add the desired language command (-language=[num]
) at the end of the destination.
An example of a correctly configured shortcut to launch the FRA localization for users running the game through Steam:"D:\Steam Library\steamapps\common\APB Reloaded\Binaries\APB.exe" -language=1036
The language folders and their respective numbers are as follows:
INT
โ International โ this is the game's default English localization and the directory which the game will override during updates;BRA
/-language=1046
โ Brazilian PortugueseFRA
/-language=1036
โ FrenchGER
/-language=1031
โ GermanITA
/-language=1040
โ ItalianRUS
/-language=1049
โ RussianSPA
/-language=1034
โ Spanish
In absence of a string in any given language (as in: when there are no characters after the =, not even any spaces), the game will fall back to the default English localization. If you want to properly blank out a string, it is advised to use a whitespace character like the one provided in the next section.
Custom localization configs can be used to personalize the text elements of the game without disrupting the experience for other players. Any and all changes appear exclusively on the client's side.
Symbols and Special Characters
The following non-alphanumeric symbols can be displayed by APB's interface without any issues.~ โข ร ยก ยข ยฃ ยค ยฅ ยฆ ยง ยจ ยฉ ยช ยซ ยฌ ยฎ ยฏ ยฐ ยฑ ยฒ ยณ ยด ยต ยถ ยท ยธ ยน ยบ ยป ยผ ยฝ ยพ ฮ ฮ ฮง โ ฮ ฮฆ ฮ ฮ ฮ ฮ ฮ ฮ ฮ ฮ ฮ ฮ ฮก ฮฃ ฮค ฮฅ ฯ โฆ ฮ ฮจ ฮ _ ฮฑ ฮฒ ฯ ฮด ฮต ฯ ฮณ ฮท ฮน ฮบ ฮป ยต ฮฝ ฮฟ ฯ ฮธ ฯ ฯ ฯ ฯ

Fonts
The game can be forced to display certain fonts from a predefined set. However, these fonts are mostly just size settings, with the most obvious offender here being the ammo counter font with its size. Changing the font will not work with lines which use <col:>
tags for coloring; only lines with <Color: R= G= B=>
tags will work in tandem with the font tag.
Below is a list of all working font tags known by the community:
<Fonts:APBMenus_Font.APB_Helvetica_Bold_11>
<Fonts:APBMenus_Font.APB_Helvetica_Bold_13>
<Fonts:APBMenus_Font.APB_Helvetica_Bold_14>
<Fonts:APBMenus_Font.APB_Helvetica_Bold_24>
<Fonts:APBMenus_Font.APB_Helvetica_Bold_32>
<Fonts:APBMenus_Font.APB_Helvetica_Regular_11>
<Fonts:APBMenus_Font.APB_Helvetica_Regular_12>
<Fonts:APBMenus_Font.APB_Helvetica_Regular_14>
<Fonts:APBMenus_Font.APB_Helvetica_Regular_16>
<Fonts:APBMenus_Font.APB_Helvetica_Regular_28>
<Fonts:APBMenus_Font.APB_HUD_AmmoCounter>
<Fonts:EngineFonts.TinyFont>
<Fonts:EngineFonts.SmallFont>
<Fonts:EngineFonts.MediumFont>
<Fonts:EngineFonts.LargeFont>
Fonts are known not to function properly when given closing tags. It is recommended not to use the <Fonts:/>
tag and instead set the rest of the line to a desired font.
Keep in mind that the Engine font uses a different character sheet and as such some (if not all) of the symbols from the previous section may not show up in-game.
Color Codes
This section lists known color tags supported by APB's localization. This refers to predefined tags in bits of formatting code such as <col:Ceremony_Highlight>
that result in the text being rendered in a predefined color, as opposed to <Color:R=1.0 G=1.0 B=1.0 A=1.0>
that appears in some files.
In order to properly terminate coloring, the right formatting tags have to be used:
<col:TagName>
colouring has to be terminated with</col>
<Color:R=1 G=1 B=1>
has to be terminated with<Color:/>
instead of</Color>
The values provided here were found by forcing the game to load a localization file containing all of the color codes. The numerical values were then pulled from the current.log file. If a known tag/code is not listed here, it has been omitted for technical reasons, most likely "it's not an actual color, this is just white again".
The ๐ emoji denotes tags to which the exact values are unknown and have been picked manually through a screen color picker. Keep in mind that the brightness of your screen will influence or offset these colors from exactly how they appear here.
