📋 About This Mod
Description:
Modding Standards and Utilites (MSU) is a modding library with three general goals: improving compatibility between mods, adding functionality to certain aspects of the game that are lacking, and streamlining the creation of new mods.
MSU no longer requires BBParser to persist information (except for older mods which used it directly and those can be converted to use the new system). This means all settings are now persisted automatically (unless persistence is disabled for that setting by the mod author)
MSU was created by LordMidas, Enduriel and TaroEld.
For a detailed description and documentation, of MSU, refer to our Github repo and wiki:

How to use:
- download the file and place it into \Battle Brothers\data\ without unzipping.
- you'll need modern hooks
