TooManyEmotes V81 Fix

Unofficial V81 compatibility fix for TooManyEmotes.

This package contains a repaired build of TooManyEmotes intended to avoid camera/audio-listener errors on Lethal Company V81.

Important

This is not an official release by the original TooManyEmotes author.

Intended Use

Use this package if the original TooManyEmotes causes errors like:

NullReferenceException
TooManyEmotes.Patches.ThirdPersonEmoteController.CallChangeAudioListenerToObject

MissingMethodException
MoreCompany.Cosmetics.CosmeticApplication.ApplyCosmetic(string,bool)

NullReferenceException
MoreCompany.Cosmetics.CosmeticApplication.Awake

Failed to find transform of type: HAT

This fix targets Lethal Company V81 camera/audio-listener behavior and MoreCompany cosmetic compatibility issues. It is intended for players affected by emote camera switching, audio listener recovery, start/stop emote reset issues, or MoreCompany cosmetic errors interrupting emote playback.

Fix Summary

• Fixes ChangeAudioListenerToObject compatibility with newer game builds.
• Adds safer audio listener recovery when the local player's listener is not initialized yet.
• Adds fallback handling if another mod or game update causes the original audio listener method to fail.
• Improves camera reset and emote stop audio listener restoration.
• Adds runtime compatibility handling for MoreCompany cosmetics so MoreCompany API changes do not interrupt emote playback.
• Adds extra MoreCompany fallback handling for early local-player initialization and alternate cosmetic method signatures.
• Avoids creating MoreCompany cosmetic components on incompatible preview or emote models, preventing missing cosmetic anchor errors such as HAT.
• Adds null-safety around MoreCompany cosmetic lists so partially initialized cosmetics cannot interrupt emote playback.
• Adds safe held-item resolution for emote item-slot paths, preventing invalid slot states from interrupting source-prop checks or item mesh updates.

Tested

• Built against Lethal Company V81 assemblies.
• Designed for the TooManyEmotes 2.3.12 source base.
• Current package version is 0.0.7; the version line starts from 0.0.x because this is an independent compatibility fix package, not an official upstream version.

Installation

Install with a Thunderstore-compatible mod manager.

If installing manually, place the package contents into a single folder under your Lethal Company profile's BepInEx/plugins directory so that plugins/TooManyEmotes.dll and plugins/Assets/ stay next to each other:

BepInEx/plugins/TooManyEmotes_V81_Fix/plugins/TooManyEmotes.dll
BepInEx/plugins/TooManyEmotes_V81_Fix/plugins/Assets/

Known Notes

• This is a compatibility fix, not a feature expansion.
• If the original TooManyEmotes is updated for V81 or newer versions, prefer the official upstream release.
• If the original mod is updated to resolve these issues, this compatibility package may be deprecated depending on the situation.
• Keep only one active TooManyEmotes DLL in your profile to avoid duplicate plugin loading.
• Do not remove the included plugins/Assets/ folder. TooManyEmotes requires these AssetBundle files for emotes, props, audio, and the radial menu.
