WatchOutBro

A gag mod that slaps an out-of-place overlay onto your screen for everything that happens. Loud, ugly, on purpose.

What's new in v3

• Bug fix: per-enemy reactions actually trigger now.
• Stacking: multiple enemies → multiple stacked bubbles.
• Character cameos: Goobers, Clark, Dexter Morgan, DIRCM, Klonnku, Plonko, Ulfric Stormcloak, Mommy ASMR.
• Drop-in folders: add real voice clips and images without rebuilding the mod.

Drop-in folders (no rebuild required)

After first launch, two folders are read from BepInEx/plugins/WatchOutBro/:

voices/   ← drop OGG, WAV, or MP3 files here
images/   ← drop PNG (recommend ~256×256, transparent background)

Config

Tweak in BepInEx/config/watchoutbro.WatchOutBro.cfg after first launch:

• [Diagnostics] LogEnemyNames — set to true to dump every detected enemy's transform chain and which reaction matched. Use to tune keywords, then turn off.
• [Audio] VoiceVolume — voice + procedural SFX volume (0..1, default 0.7).
• [Audio] AmbientVolume — ambient loop volume (0..1, default 0.3).
• [Gameplay] GooberDuplicate — turn off to skip spawning visual duplicates on pickup.
• [Gameplay] UlfricChance — 0..1, default 0.05.

Install

Use r2modman or Gale. Click "Install with Mod Manager".

Multiplayer

All overlays + sounds are client-local. Each player who installs sees/hears their own gags. Goober duplicates are visual-only (not net-synced).
