Captionman

Captionman is an accessibility closed captions mod for R.E.P.O. game, making the game more accessible to players who are deaf or hard of hearing.

What It Does

Never miss an important sound again! Captionman shows captions for:

• Enemy sounds
• Item sounds
• Environmental sounds
• Game event sounds

Customization

To adjust the caption settings, you can use MenuLib+REPOConfig or edit the config file directly at BepInEx/config/BatteryDie.Captionman.cfg to customize:

Caption files are packaged flat beside the DLL and loaded by the GameAudioCaptionFile filename config.
