About this mod Author’s original text

LCKartHornMod

Assigns every clown horn spawned a random consistent sound effect. Loads sound effects from LCKartHorns folders.

This mod was inspired by the brainrot that is SRB2K's HornMod, I've tried to bring this to Lethal Company.

This is a tool that loads and assigns the sound effects. It does not include any sound effects by default.

While client side, I've made the loading order deterministic, so that all players will hear the same sound effects.

Please see sound effect pack creation below for more information on how to create sound effect packs.

Manual installation

  • Install BepInEx for Lethal Company. Create a BepInEx/plugins folder, or run the game once and it will create it

automatically.

  • Place the LCKartHornMod.dll file into the BepInEx/plugins folder.
  • Install sound effects
  • Either install a sound effect pack (e.g.)
  • Or manually (place *.ogg files in BepInEx/plugins/LCKartHorns folder)

No horns are included in this mod by default!

Sound effect synchronization

Synchronization of this mod requires players to have the exact same sound effects installed.

The mod will still work exactly the same otherwise, but the sound effects will not be synchronized between players.

Config file

After launching the game with the mod installed, a config file will be created in BepInEx/config. This file currently

contains only a single option: the FarVolumeReductionFactor. Currently, the SFXfar is just a lowered volume version of

the original (no reverb or anything). This option allows you to set the volume of the far horns. The default value

is 0.05, which means the far horns are 5% as loud as the normal horns. Setting this to 0 will disable the far horns

entirely.

Creating sound effect packs

To create sound packs, all your mod needs is a LCKartHorns folder with.ogg files in it. The mod will

automatically load all.ogg files in folders with this name. Only.ogg files are supported at the moment, since these are the

file format used in the SRB2K HornMod.

Make sure to have this mod as a dependency.

Compatibility

This mod should be compatible with all other mods, except those that change the clown horn sound effect. There may also

be issues with mods that change how sounds are played, but I have not tested this.

Known issues and limitations

If you find any issue(s) not listed here, please contact me.

  • This mod requires all players to have the same horn sound effects installed. If not, the horn sound effects will not

be synchronized between players.

  • The sound effects are loaded in a single thread, which may cause an increase in startup time if you have a lot of

sound effects installed.

Also, this is my first mod, first time using C# and first time working with Unity. So, if you read this code and think "

what the heck is this", "just do this you idiot", "please delete this from my life", or anything similar, feel free to

post in the thread on the unofficial Lethal Company Modding discord, make PRs on the GitHub, etc.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
