Makes the Semibots speak other languages!

About this mod Author’s original text

Tongue

Tongue is a plugin that forces the Semibots to speak in a language of your choosing!

How?

Under the hood, Tongue uses the powerful eSpeak NG speech synthesis project to phoneticize chat messages. Instead of feeding raw text into the TTS, eSpeak NG converts it into a string of phonemes that mimic how the selected language would pronounce it. This results in bots "speaking" with different accents or entirely different linguistic patterns.

eSpeak NG supports over 100 languages and dialects. I've only tested German, so I can't promise all of them will sound perfect—or even intelligible—but the variety is there for experimentation and chaos. Want your Semibots to mumble Icelandic or shout in Swahili? Go ahead. They won’t stop you.

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.

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
