Text chat. As simple as it is.

About this mod Author’s original text

What It Does:

Shift At Midnight gives you a voice but nothing to type into. Chatter adds a chat box similar in shape as Big Walk uses: press a key, type, press it again. Your line lands in the dialogue history and hangs over your head for a few seconds, alongside everything the customers said.

Features:

  • Goes in the game's own history: lines are added the way a customer's line is added, so the dialogue history reads your conversation back with theirs
  • Someone is typing: a pulsing... over anyone with their box open

How to Install:

  • Use any compatible mod manager for the easiest installation.

OR

  • Make sure you have BepInEx 6 IL2CPP installed.
  • Download this mod and put it in your BepInEx plugins folder. (\GAME_LOCATION\Shift At Midnight\BepInEx\plugins)

Everyone needs this mod. Unlike a mod that only changes what you see, this one changes what everyone sees, so anybody without it installed sees nothing at all. Your message is shared through the lobby, and a player without the mod has nothing listening for it.

How to Use:

Press Enter, type, press Enter again to send. Escape cancels.

Everyone in the lobby gets every message. Open the dialogue history to read the conversation back.

Configuration:

The only setting is which key opens the box, and you only need it if Enter is taken on your setup.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. 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.
