Modern day mod

Post by JulesVerne »

The Modern mod brings AB out of the dark ages and into the 21st century!

Included are new units, formations, weapons, sprites etc. including the Armata, Challenger 2, Abrams variants, F-35, Leclerc and much much more. The timeline has been extended to 2025 for many factions.

Update 10.7
Download link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FQDbdG ... p=drivesdk

Download instructions:
1. Download the .zip file and unzip it somewhere safe.
2. Backup all relevant game folders.
3. Drag and replace relevant folders. Sprites go into the graphics folder and the database (which you need to select before launching the game from the launcher) needs to go into the database folder.

The mod is work in progress, report bugs or anomalies and feel free to suggest new vehicles, sources, nations or formations you want to see added :D

Great mod!

I'm getting an Error: Invalid licence flag when trying to play a simple battle. I have no expansion packs, just the base game.

Any chance this mod could be included in the Steam Workshop?
Thank you.

The questions below may be dumb, but I must make sure.

1. Am I correct in assuming that all the files in the download are relevant?
2. My first language is not English. Does the word "sprite" mean graphics?

I apologize in advance.

I tried to build a mission and it would not load because of the following error:

ur_stryker_hs not found

What does this error mean?

Thank you so much! I get it. What directory are the "sprites" located when I download the Zip file? I ask because I don't know the meaning of "sprite" in the context of AB. My native language is not English.

I think there is a mistake in the Ukrainian database. I do not think that the javelin is an anti-aircraft weapon. It is an anti-tank missile.

It depends on whether the origin is British or US. See links.
