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

      ./run_bepinex.sh %command%

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

      pwd

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

      "PWD_RESULT_HERE/run_bepinex.sh" %command%

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

This is to prevent situation where RShift+A fires when the user intended to press LCtrl+RShift+A.

Limitations

WBM is not a hack. WBM will not include any features that will give unfair advantages. These features include but are 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 affect it.

Building

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

Building instructions (click to unfold)

The guide is intentionally left incomplete. To prevent any regular developers from using this mod to develop hacks, I won't provide any help when it comes to building the mod from scratch.

This guide is only useful to people who's already familiar with reverse engineering, and can create hacks on their own anyway.

Assumes that working directory is project root.

1. Install .NET sdk.

2. 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.

3. Download and unzip BepInEx configuration manager v16 then copy the dll file to the WBM/dll directory.

4. Create scripts/config.sh. This will be used to quickly test the mod without having to manually install it.

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

5. Install the zip cli. Most likely you already have it.

6. Now you can run the scripts.

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

Bug reports / Suggestions

If you have a cool idea that will make WBM better, or if WBM misbehaves in any way (no matter how minor the problem is), feel free go to the Issues page and open a new issue! Alternatively, you can report the bug in my discord server.
