BB Misses His Wife (PEAK mod)

This mod changes Bing Bong (PEAK’s mascot / “Magic Conch”-style item) so that when you use Bing Bong, it always plays the “I miss my wife” response instead of randomly picking a line.

It also includes optional settings to:

• Client-side override what you hear when other players use Bing Bong (off by default).
• Host/MasterClient “best-effort” enforcement to try forcing the wife line on other clients (even if they don’t run the mod).

---

What it does in-game

Default behavior (recommended)

• ✅ When YOU use Bing Bong: everyone sees/hears “I miss my wife”.
• ✅ When someone else uses Bing Bong: you see/hear the real rolled line (vanilla behavior).

Optional behaviors

• Client-side override: make your own client always display/play the wife line even when others use Bing Bong.
• Host/MasterClient enforcement: if you are the Photon MasterClient, try to force other clients to get the wife line too (best-effort, see limitations).

---

Installation

1. Install BepInEx for PEAK.
2. Put the built DLL into:
   • PEAK/BepInEx/plugins/
3. Launch the game once to generate the config file.

Tip: If you can’t find the config file, search in PEAK/BepInEx/config/ for the text MasterClientForceWifeForEveryone.

Configuration

Config lives in PEAK/BepInEx/config/.

Below are all config entries, grouped by section.

[General]

ForceResponseIndex (default: -1)

Force a specific Bing Bong response by index.

• -1 = auto-detect the “wife” response by subtitle / localization / clip name.
• 0+ = force that exact response index.

Use this if auto-detection fails after a game update.

OverrideIncomingRpc (default: false)

Client-side only. If enabled, your client will rewrite incoming Bing Bong results so you always see/hear “I miss my wife” even when other players use Bing Bong.

• false (default) = preserve vanilla for others’ uses (recommended)
• true = always show wife line on your screen, regardless of who used it

IgnoreSpamCooldown (default: false)

If enabled, ignores Bing Bong’s “spamming” flag (cooldown logic) on your client. This is mainly useful together with OverrideIncomingRpc.

---

[AutoDetect]

These are used only when ForceResponseIndex = -1.

SubtitleKeywords (default: wife,misses his wife)

Comma-separated keywords matched against:

• the subtitle ID, and
• localized subtitle text

If a match is found, that response becomes the target.

ClipNameKeywords (default: wife,misswife,misseswife)

Comma-separated keywords matched against the AudioClip name.

---

[Host]

These options try to influence what other clients receive.

MasterClientForceWifeForEveryone (default: false)

If enabled and you are the Photon MasterClient, the mod will attempt to force other players’ Bing Bong results to “wife” by broadcasting an additional RPC.

⚠️ Important limitation: PEAK uses Photon PUN RPCs and there is no authoritative server rewrite. This is best-effort and can be affected by latency / ordering. In practice, this causes clients to run another try which results in “wife”.

MasterClientForceAlsoAffectsHostView (default: true)

If host forcing is enabled, this controls whether the MasterClient (you) also rewrites what you see/hear for other players’ uses while enforcing.

• true = host also sees “wife” when enforcing
• false = host can enforce for others while still seeing the real rolled line (when possible)

MasterClientIgnoreSpamCooldown (default: true)

If enabled, host enforcement sends spamming=false (more aggressive). If disabled, it preserves the original spam flag.

InterruptVanillaAudio (default: true)

When host enforcement is enabled, tries to reduce “two clips at once” by timing the forced RPC so it interrupts the original voice line on unmodded clients.

This is a mitigation, not a perfect guarantee (depends on timing/network).

BroadcastDelaySeconds (default: 0.60)

Delay before the host sends the forced RPC to other clients.

This delay is important:

• Too low → original line often still plays fully and overlaps
• Too high → wife line feels delayed

Recommended range: 2.4–2.8 depending on lobby latency.

---

[Fixes]

These are local quality-of-life fixes to reduce overlap and weirdness when multiple Ask() calls happen close together.

StopPreviousAskRoutines (default: true)

Stops previously running Bing Bong “Ask” coroutine(s) on this client before starting a new one. Helps prevent local double-audio when multiple RPCs arrive.

StopAudioImmediately (default: true)

Stops Bing Bong’s AudioSource immediately when a new Ask begins on this client. Helps reduce overlap on modded clients.

---

[Debug]

VerboseLogging (default: false)

Logs Bing Bong response candidates (subtitle IDs, localized text, clip names) once per session. Useful to determine the correct ForceResponseIndex after a game update.

---

Recommended presets

Normal (clean + predictable)

• OverrideIncomingRpc = false
• MasterClientForceWifeForEveryone = false

Client-side “I always want wife”

• OverrideIncomingRpc = true

Host “try to force it for everyone”

• MasterClientForceWifeForEveryone = true
• InterruptVanillaAudio = true
• BroadcastDelaySeconds = 2.60 (tune 2.4–2.8)

---

Troubleshooting

“It stopped forcing the wife line”

Turn on VerboseLogging, use Bing Bong once, and read BepInEx/LogOutput.log. Then set ForceResponseIndex to the printed index you want.

“Host enforcement plays 2 clips at once”

Increase BroadcastDelaySeconds a bit (e.g. 2.8). Also ensure InterruptVanillaAudio = true and Fixes options are enabled.
