Refined Emotions

Express yourself to your mates in R.E.P.O. with a six-expression wheel, matching arm poses and a front-facing self-view.

Install

1. Click Install with Mod Manager on Thunderstore.
2. Launch modded from that profile.

Dependencies install automatically. The mod supplies its default controls on first launch; no config edits or previous setup are needed.

Controls

• Hold middle mouse (the scroll-wheel button), point at an expression and release to play it for five seconds.
• Release in the center or press Escape to cancel.
• Hold V to see yourself from the front. Release to return to first person.
• The original number-key expressions also get the added arm poses.

The wheel pauses camera aiming while open. Arm poses yield to grabbing, map use, crawling and tumbling. Wheel and self-view controls are available during active play and cancel in menus, chat, loading, after death or when the game loses focus.

Optional key bindings

Open Mods → Refined Emotions → Emote wheel to change Button or Self-view. Changes apply immediately. The defaults work without opening settings.

Multiplayer

Everyone who wants to see the added arm poses needs the mod. Players without it still see the game's native eye expressions. Multiplayer pose reception has not yet been verified with a second player.

Troubleshooting

Make sure you launched modded from the profile containing Refined Emotions. If the wheel still does not open during active play, include that profile's BepInEx/LogOutput.log in a bug report.

Uninstall

Remove Refined Emotions in your mod manager with the game closed.

Changelog

1.3.7

• Fix startup for installations using default loader settings.
• No configuration edits or previous setup required. Existing key bindings are preserved.
• Simplify installation instructions to install through a mod manager and launch modded.

1.3.6

• Renamed MMB Emote Wheel to Refined Emotions. Existing bindings and configuration are preserved.

1.3.5

• Straightened the pointing arm by aiming toward the center farther ahead.
• Swept its supporting arm farther backward while keeping the 100-degree lift.

1.3.4

• Hands-to-mouth moves both shoulders forward to clear the chest while keeping the hands at the mouth.
• Pointing keeps the left shoulder in its natural position and angles the arm toward the center ahead. The supporting arm stays back but lowers to 100 degrees from down.

1.3.3

• Sad angles the fists outward and slightly forward to clear bulky clothing.
• Pointing moves the left shoulder only halfway toward the front center; the right shoulder moves back and its arm uses the Angry pose.
• Angry now raises both arms 130 degrees from straight down, retaining the backward sweep.

1.3.2

• Sad now rounds both shoulders visibly forward and slightly inward, with arms hanging down.
• Pointing moves the left shoulder to the front center of the chest, so the arm points straight ahead from the middle.

1.3.1

• Fixed arm blending: native expression weights are relative, so held poses now reach their intended angles.
• Put palms against the sides of the head or in front of the mouth for the two shocked expressions, using the actual rig endpoints.
• Made Sad’s arms hang straight down with shoulders forward, and rotated Closed Eyes’ arms further behind the back.

1.3.0

• Added Self-view in REPOConfig, default V: hold to see your character from the front, release to restore first person.
• Self-view works with the wheel and number-key expressions, pauses mouse-look, and pulls the camera inward near walls.
• Restore the camera on menus, focus loss, death and rebinding.

1.2.0

• Added one REPOConfig setting: wheel button, default Mouse2. Duration is fixed at five seconds.
• Added six matching arm poses driven by native expressions, including number-key emotes.
• Blend poses with the eye expressions and restore normal movement afterward.
• Let grabbing, map use, crawling and tumbling take priority over poses.

1.1.1

• Removed the duplicate bottom expression preview and duration bar. The game supplies the expression display.
• Added a distributable package and installation instructions.

1.1.0

• Replaced text labels with eye previews derived from native expression settings.
• Added subdued native Unity UI, warm selection highlights and hover animation.

1.0.1

• Added startup and input diagnostics.
• Added a local startup workaround, superseded by the 1.3.7 startup change.

1.0.0

• Initial six-expression wheel: hold MMB, hover, release to play for five seconds.
