Talk From Any Side

Talk From Any Side is a client-side MelonLoader mod for Schedule I. It allows

you to start a conversation while aiming at an NPC from the front, side, or

back instead of requiring you to find the small interaction area near their

face.

The added interaction area closely follows the NPC's torso. It is intentionally

kept small enough to avoid triggering while aiming beside the character.

Current version

0.2.2

Tested environment

• Schedule I 0.4.5f2
• IL2CPP game build
• Unity 2022.3.62f2
• MelonLoader 0.7.0 Open-Beta
• Windows 11

Other game or MelonLoader versions may work, but have not been tested.

Requirements

• The IL2CPP version of Schedule I
• MelonLoader installed in the game directory

S1API is not required.

Installation

• Close Schedule I.
• Install MelonLoader and launch the game once if it is not already installed.
• Copy TalkFromAnySide.dll into the game's Mods directory.
• Remove NPCInteract360_IL2Cpp.dll if it is installed. The two mods change

the same behavior and should not be used together.

• Start the game.

The default Steam location is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Schedule I\Mods

The MelonLoader console and log should show:

Talk From Any Side v0.2.2

Multiplayer

The mod only changes interaction targeting on the local client. It does not

send custom network messages, change NPC state, or modify save data.

The host does not need the mod. Each player who wants to interact with NPCs

from any side should install it on their own client.

Compatibility

• IL2CPP only
• No S1API dependency
• No save-file changes
• No configuration file
• Incompatible with mods that replace or duplicate the NPC interaction target

Uninstallation

Close the game and delete TalkFromAnySide.dll from the Mods directory.

There is no configuration or save data to remove.

Troubleshooting

If the mod does not appear to work, check:

• The game is using the IL2CPP build.
• The DLL is directly inside the Mods directory.
• NPCInteract360_IL2Cpp.dll or a similar mod is not installed.
• MelonLoader reports Talk From Any Side v0.2.2 during startup.
• MelonLoader\Latest.log does not contain an error tagged

[Talk_From_Any_Side].
