Are you ready to take your Bullet Speed gaming experience to the next level? This guide will teach you how to create your own custom maps using Trenchbroom. Please note, this is not a tutorial on how to use Trenchbroom itself.
Install Trenchbroom and the configure it.
The only tested version of Trenchbroom is this one (2023.1): https://github.com/TrenchBroom/TrenchBroom/releases/tag/v2023.1
(feel free to notice me if other versions works)
- Download Trenchbroom 2023.1, unzip the archive and open the games folder.
- Get the BulletSpeed game config folder here:
https://github.com/lambda505/BulletSpeedGameConfig - Copy the folder BulletSpeed in the games folder from Trenchbroom.
If you open threnchbroom now, create a new map and choose BulletSpeed as the game. You will notice that the entities works but that in face there is no texture to import.
- Get the BulletSpeed texture folder here:
https://github.com/lambda505/BulletSpeedGameConfig - Drop the Custom folder in TrenchBroom\defaults\assets.
- You can now import the textures in Trenchbroom.
