FomoWebSocket
A Fomo add-on for On Together that exposes in-game chat as a WebSocket server, enabling real-time external integrations.
Requirements
- Fomo (hard dependency)
Features
- WebSocket chat server — Forwards all in-game chat messages and notifications to connected WebSocket clients in real time
- Bidirectional relay — Messages sent from a WebSocket client are injected into the in-game chat input; Fomo commands are supported too
- Configurable format — Separate format strings for chat messages and notifications
- Server starts automatically on launch when EnableFeature is true
In-Game Commands
Type any command into the in-game chat. Commands start with / and are not sent to other players.
- /fomowebsockettoggle (/fwst) — Toggle the WebSocket server on/off
- /fomowebsocketport [port] (/fwsp) — Get or set the WebSocket server port (default: 8765)

Format Placeholders
The MessageFormat and NotificationFormat settings accept the following placeholders:

Receiving messages
Each chat message arrives as a plain text string formatted according to MessageFormat. Notifications use NotificationFormat.
Sending messages
Send any plain text string to the WebSocket server. It will be injected into the in-game chat input. Fomo commands (e.g. /fomohelp) are also supported.
Installation
Use r2modman or the app for the simplest install. Fomo must be installed first.
Manual:
- Install Fomo first
- Copy AndrewLin.FomoWebSocket.dll into BepInEx/plugins/

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- 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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
