About this mod Author’s original text
Bing Bong TTS
Reads eligible Twitch chat aloud through two mod-controlled Bing Bongs, in 3D positional audio,
synchronised across the whole lobby.
- Two Bing Bongs per run. Ones that are picked up or destroyed are replaced, never duplicated, and ones you leave behind stay where you left them.
- Messages alternate between them, one at a time, never overlapping.
- Carrying one does not silence it: a Bing Bong in your hands or your pocket speaks through you.
- Only the host connects to Twitch. Clients just need the mod installed — no keys, no config.
- ElevenLabs TTS. Voice aliases keep provider voice ids out of your chat.
- The Bing Bong gets its own inventory slot, so carrying one costs you neither a slot nor weight.
- Optional profanity filter: bleep the swear and speak the rest, or drop the message.
Setup (host)
- Install this mod and launch PEAK once so the config is generated.
- Edit BepInEx/config/com.cipherpeak.bingbongtts.cfg:
- Twitch.Channel — your channel name, no #. (Leave Username/OAuthToken empty for
anonymous read-only chat.)
- TTS.ElevenLabsApiKey — your key, or set CIPHERPEAK_ELEVENLABS_API_KEY instead.
- TTS.VoiceAliases — alias=elevenlabs:voiceId, comma-separated.
- Start a run.
Everyone else in the lobby only needs the mod installed.
Reading your own chat instead
Not hosting, but want your own chat read out? Set Twitch/UseMyOwnChat = true and fill in your own
Channel, voices and API key. Your client reads your chat and plays it through a Bing Bong near you.
Only you hear it — your chat is never sent to the lobby — so it needs no agreement from the host, and
the host's chat keeps working normally for everyone else.

The Bing Bong slot
BingBong/DedicatedSlot (on by default) gives the Bing Bong an inventory slot of its own instead of
spending one of your three. The slot sits outside the game's carry-weight sum, so what is in it never
weighs anything. It has its own HUD widget and its own key, because the game's scroll cycle only
walks the vanilla slots.
Everyone who wants the slot needs the mod. Players without it are detected over the network and
left on the vanilla path, so hosting for unmodded friends is safe — they just get an ordinary slot.
BingBong/Weightless covers the other case: a Bing Bong carried in a normal slot, weighing nothing.
Profanity filter
Filter/Profanity is Off, Mask (replace each swear with Filter/ProfanityMask, default "beep",
and speak the rest) or Block (drop the message). A built-in stem list covers the common ones and
their suffixed forms while leaving ordinary words alone; Filter/ProfanityWords extends it.
Volume
Escape → Settings → Audio has a Bing Bong TTS Volume slider, on top of the game's SFX slider.
Moving it writes straight back to the config file.
Configurable
Message length limits, queue size, per-user and global cooldowns, blocked words, ignored users,
link blocking, subscriber/moderator gating, voice aliases, volume and 3D falloff, and optional
distance rules for replacing Bing Bongs left behind. All in the.cfg, no recompile needed.
TikTok
TikTok publishes no documented, permitted TTS API. The TikTok provider exists behind the same
interface but ships disabled and will not scrape — it only activates if you supply your own
endpoint. With it selected and unconfigured, the mod logs the reason and falls back to ElevenLabs.
Full docs, troubleshooting and architecture notes are in the
source repository.
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- 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.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- 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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
