About this mod Author’s original text
Mic Snitch
Snitches on whoever is talking. Shows the nicknames of every player currently
transmitting voice, right on your screen — so the soundboard spammer on the loading
screen has nowhere to hide.
A working replacement for the old, deprecated See_who_is_talking mod, which stopped
showing names in current R.E.P.O. builds.
What you see
- A list of currently-talking players in the upper-right corner.
- Loud / shouting players — bold red, stay visible for 3 seconds. A sudden
shout always pops out, even when 10 other people are also on the mic.
- Normal speech — soft yellow, fades after ~0.7s.
- Quiet background noise is filtered out by amplitude — open-mic players who are
just breathing into the headset don't pollute the list.
- Sorted with loud people on top.
Hotkey
- F8 — toggle the overlay on/off. When hidden, a faint [F8] Mic Snitch hint
stays in the corner so you never forget the toggle.
Why
In R.E.P.O. voice is proximity-based in a level, but global on loading screens
and in the lobby — that's where someone always blasts a soundboard and you have no
idea who. The old mod hooked the per-player Speaker component to find out.
Problem: when other players run cosmetic mods (MoreHead & co.), their
SetupCosmeticsModdedRPC fails, the Speaker never gets created, and the old mod
sees nothing.
How it's fixed
Mic Snitch hooks RemoteVoiceLink.OnDecodedFrameFloatAction — the per-frame decoded
audio callback at the VoiceClient level, before the player init / Speaker step.
It fires for every remote voice that has a stream, including not-inited players.
From the decoded float samples it computes the peak amplitude, classifies the speaker
(quiet / normal / loud) and resolves the nickname through
PhotonNetwork.CurrentRoom.GetPlayer(actorNumber).NickName, which keeps working even
when a player's local object is broken by RPC errors.
Local mic state is read directly from LocalVoice.IsCurrentlyTransmitting, so your
own name shows when you talk too — works even alone in a lobby for testing.
Everything is resolved via reflection — if a future game patch renames a type, the
mod logs a warning and degrades gracefully instead of crashing.
Install
Use a mod manager (r2modman app) — it handles the BepInExPack
dependency. Manual install: drop MicSnitch.dll into BepInEx/plugins.

Concept inspired by the original See_who_is_talking by xiaolei. Rebuilt from scratch.
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:
