What it does

  • Everyone needs this mod to hear others voices.
  • Replaces your in game TTS with DECtalk voices like Paul and Wendy
  • Works in lobbies so everyone hears you if they have the mod.
  • Optional whisper on crouch for sneaky lines

What is included

  • HawkingTTS.dll - the mod
  • 80speak DECtalk engine binaries - bundled package so you get the real voice out of the box
  • Simple config so you can switch voices and options

How to use

Talk like normal. Your TTS now has the Stephen Hawking style. To change voice, open the config file in BepInEx/config.

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:
