GermanBrainrot

GermanBrainrot

Synced custom creature sounds for Lethal Company. Each creature type plays random clips from its own streamer sound pack folder, synchronized to all players via networked audio streaming.

All players must have this mod installed.

Setup

• Install BepInEx.
• Copy the entire Template/bin/ contents into your mod profile:...\profiles\\BepInEx\plugins\GermanBrainrot\

This must include GermanBrainrot.dll, Concentus.dll, Concentus.Oggfile.dll, config, and audio/packs.

• Add.opus or.wav files (48 kHz mono recommended for opus) into the creature pack folders under audio/packs.

Sound packs

Default layout (one streamer folder per creature type):

BepInEx/plugins/GermanBrainrot/

GermanBrainrot.dll

config/creature-profiles.json

audio/packs/

streamer_a/ # Hoarding Bug

streamer_b/ # Tulip Snake

streamer_c/ # Flower Man (Bracken)

Convert audio for best results:

ffmpeg -i input.wav -c:a libopus -ar 48000 -ac 1 output.opus

Configuration

BepInEx config (BepInEx/config/BinderDyn.GermanBrainrot.cfg):

| Setting | Default | Description |

|---------|---------|-------------|

| PlayAlongsideVanilla | true | When true, vanilla creature sounds play alongside custom audio. When false, vanilla is suppressed. |

| Enable_hoarding_bug | true | Toggle Hoarding Bug custom sounds |

| Enable_tulip_snake | true | Toggle Tulip Snake custom sounds |

| Enable_flower_man | true | Toggle Flower Man custom sounds |

Adding a new creature

• Create a folder under audio/packs/ with your clips.
• Add a profile block to config/creature-profiles.json:

{

"id": "jester",

"enemyType": "JesterAI",

"soundPackFolder": "packs/my_streamer",

"enabled": true,

"triggerOnVanillaClips": ["*"]

}

• Restart the game (or reload the lobby). No recompile needed.

Use LCSoundTool (F5 logging) to find exact vanilla clip names if you want specific triggers instead of "*".

Testing (multi-client sync)

Set NumberOfClients to 2 in Template.csproj (default) and build with StartGame=true to launch two game instances locally. Verify:

• Additive mode (PlayAlongsideVanilla=true): vanilla creature sounds and custom pack audio both play; custom audio is synced across clients.
• Replace mode (PlayAlongsideVanilla=false): only custom pack audio plays for triggered clips.
• Random picks: each sound trigger picks a random clip on the host; all clients hear the same clip for that trigger.

Use LCSoundTool F5 logging to refine triggerOnVanillaClips in creature-profiles.json if needed.

Build

Requires.NET SDK and netcode-patcher CLI (dotnet tool install -g evaisa.netcodepatcher.cli).

dotnet build

dotnet test /p:SkipNetcodePatch=true
