Installation

Only Windows, MacOS, and Linux are officially supported. It is Not compatible with browsers.

WARNING
I do not upload WBM anywhere other than github. If you find it elsewhere, IT IS NOT UPLOADED BY ME.

1. Install BepInEx

1. Download the latest version of BepInEx version 5 from here. It is important that you download the right version.

   Platform	Filename
   Linux & MacOS	BepInEx_unix_5.Y.Z.W.zip
   Windows	BepInEx_x86_5.Y.Z.W.zip

2. Extract (Unzip) the contentS to where the game is installed.

   How to find game location:
   

   The folder structure should look like this after unzipping file:

   WarBrokers/
   ├── BepInEx/
   │  ├── core/
   │  └ other files...
   └ other files...
   

3. If you are using Linux or MacOS, you must also perform the following setup:

   1. make run_bepinex.sh executable: chmod u+x run_bepinex.sh

   2. Add launch option

      where to find game properties:
      

      If you're on linux, set the launch option to:

      ./run_bepinex.sh %command%
      

      If you're on Mac, open a terminal in the game folder and run

      pwd
      

      This will print the full path to the game folder. Copy it. Next, set launch option to

      "PUT_RESULT_FROM_PWD_HERE/run_bepinex.sh" %command%
      

4. Run the game at least once to generate the plugins folder as well as other necessary files.

2. Install WBM

1. Download the latest version of WBM. (WBM.zip file)

2. Unzip it in the <Game folder>/BepInEx/plugins folder.

   It should look like this:

   plugins (in the BepInEx folder)
   └── WBM
       ├── assets
       │   └── audio
       │       └── ...
       └── WBM.dll
   

3. Set up OBS (optional)

1. Download the overlays and Unzip it anywhere. (Source code can be found here)

2. Create a new browser source in OBS studio.

   

3. Check the Local file checkbox and use a .html file of the overlay you want to use. Width and height of the overlays can be found here.

   

Updating

Simply go through the installation process again and replace existing files. You don't have to reinstall BepInEx to reinstall WBM.

Limitations

WBM is not a hack. WBM will not include any features that will give unfair advantage. These features include but not limited to: extended minimap zoom, quick weapon swap, instant zoom, extended field of view, audio filter, etc.

WBM will not include any custom skins. Micro-transaction accounts for a significant portion of the developers' income and WBM will not include any feature that will damage it.

Building

If you are a casual user, this is completely unnecessary. This is only recommended for developers.

Assumes that working directory is project root.

1. Install .NET sdk.

2. Clone this repository.

3. Copy all DLL files from <WB install path>/war_brokers_Data/Managed/ and <WB install path>/BepInEx/core to WBM/dll/. Create directory if it does not exist.

4. Download BepInEx configuration manager v16 and put the dll file in WBM/dll directory. Other file(s) in the zip file can be deleted.

5. Create scripts/config.sh.

   #!/bin/bash
   
   WB_PLUGINS_DIR="<PATH_TO_PLUGINS_DIRECTORY_HERE>"
   

6. Now you can run the scripts.

   • scripts/debug.sh: Build WBM in debug mode and copy the files to the plugins directory.
   • scripts/release.sh: Create a zip file that can be uploaded in the gh release section.
