BroMaker

BroMaker allows you to load custom bro mods into the game and provides modders with a library to greatly decrease the difficulty of adding custom bros to the game.

Installing BroMaker and Custom Bros

Detailed installation instructions can be found here.

Bugs and Issues

If you run into any bugs or have any issues with the mod, please join the Free Lives Discord and post in the bf-mods channel.

Playing as a Custom Bro

To play with a Custom Bro, click on it in the BroMaker mod GUI, and click Switch to Bro.

Or you can enable automatic spawning and set a chance to spawn with a custom bro in the mod settings, by default custom bros have the same chance to spawn as normal bros.

Unlocking Custom Bros

Some custom bros have unlock requirements, such as rescuing X bros or playing their unlock level. To check if a bro is unlocked or what needs to be done to unlock them, you can go to the custom bros menu.

Go to the avatar of the custom bro you want to try to unlock and press fire.

Then you can check their unlock requirements and play their unlock level if they have one. If they have an unlock level and have a required rescue amount then you can choose either method to unlock them.

Known Issues

  • Custom bros don't work online

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
