WORK IN PROGRESS. Living Viking villagers, AI voices and chat, and bosses, Hildir bosses and humanoid monsters that trash-talk you and answer your open mic. Made for the ValheimNet server.
Open mic works for everyone: the game captures your microphone itself (voice activity detection, no push-to-talk) and the server transcribes it, so villagers, bosses, trophies and monsters answer without any extra install
New config [OpenMic] BuiltInMic (on by default), BuiltInMicDevice and BuiltInMicSensitivity
0.6.2
Voice helper is no longer included in the package; the server now applies the full voice effects, so every player hears the finished boss and villager voices without installing anything
0.6.1
Voice helper is now bundled in the package (portable Python + numpy + ffmpeg); no download, no prompt
Starts hidden with the game, stops with it (including its mic capture); new config [VoiceHelper] Enabled (replaces AutoSetup)
Config files renamed to valheimnet.villagers.*.cfg (plugin IDs changed to match); old settings are copied over automatically on first launch
Shorter helper folder names so the install stays under the Windows path-length limit
Pack now includes OdinPlus Teleport Everything 3.0.9 (dependency)
0.6.0
One-download setup: the game asks once "Install voice effects?" and installs the voice helper itself, hidden, with a progress message
Helper auto-starts hidden with the game and stops when it closes; skipped if one is already running
New config [VoiceHelper] AutoSetup (Ask / Yes / No) and StopOnExit
A failed install never affects the game; normal voices keep working
0.5.9
Package text update only (same plugin build as 0.5.8)
