Killstreak Announcer v1.1.0

KILLSTREAK ANNOUNCER v1.1.0 — Unreal-Tournament / Quake-Style Killstreak Announcer

Plugin DLL: EasyRed2.KillstreakAnnouncer.dll
GUID: com.stixsworldhd.easyred2.killstreakannouncer
Config file: com.stixsworldhd.easyred2.killstreakannouncer.cfg
In-game window: None by design — the .cfg file is the whole control surface

An Unreal-Tournament / Quake-style killstreak announcer for Easy Red 2. Every kill, multi-kill, spree, headshot, capture, lead change and match result fires a punchy voice callout pulled at random from a library of 701 announcer clips across 50 event categories, so it never feels repetitive. Pure flavor, zero gameplay changes — it only listens to the game and plays sounds, through hooks verified against the v2.0.6 decompile, so callouts fire exactly when the matching thing actually happens to you — not your squadmates, not the enemy.

New in v1.1.0 — a much bigger sound library

701 clips across 50 event categories, up from 317 across 48 — every event has more variety, from extra double_kill takes to multiple You_have_won_the_match reads.
Vehicle kills get their own announcement. Destroy a vehicle (and its crew) and you get a dedicated road/vehicle callout — Road Kill, Road Rampage, Vehicular Manslaughter, Pancake, Top Gun and more — in addition to the crew counting toward your multi-kills and sprees. Uses the existing EnableVehicleKills toggle.
A 4-minute match-clock warning joins the existing 5/3/2/1-minute and 30/20-second warnings (optional clock, still off by default; existing EnableTimeWarnings toggle).
The impressive UT reward medals — Goliath, Iron Guard, Iron Skull, Juggernauts, Hellions, ThunderCrash, FireStorm, Sun Blade, Vampire, Eagle Eye, DareDevil, Rage, Ownage, Whirlwind, Retribution… — are folded into the top multi-kill and spree tiers as epic-moment variety.
Curated on purpose: the source packs contain plenty of audio with no matching Easy Red 2 event (UT map mission briefings, Assault objective scripts, CTF flag chatter, medal description voice-overs). Those would only be dead files, so this download contains only the 701 files the mod actually uses — the in-game log reports 0 unmapped.
Nothing changed in the control surface: no new config keys, same plugin GUID — an existing config still applies. If you keep an older, larger KSounds folder around, that's fine too: unmapped files are simply ignored.

REQ

Requirements: Easy Red 2 v2.0.6 (the build this was reversed against) with all DLC, and BepInEx 6 (IL2CPP, x64) already installed and run once — a BepInEx folder must already exist in your game root. This mod does not include BepInEx; if you don't have it yet, do the loader install first.

Install

Field Order 01

Know the two destinations

The archive holds the plugin, the voice library, and the README:

EasyRed2-KillstreakAnnouncer-v1_1_0.rar
|- EasyRed2.KillstreakAnnouncer.dll     <- the mod (59 KB)
|- KSounds\                             <- the voice library: 701 WAVs
|  |- Sounds1\ ... Sounds11\
'- README.txt                           <- full event + settings reference

Two things must be true after installing:

EasyRed2.KillstreakAnnouncer.dll is inside Easy Red 2\BepInEx\plugins\ — directly, or in a subfolder like StixsworldHD-KillstreakAnnouncer\\; both work.
The KSounds folder lives in the game root, right next to the BepInEx folder — not inside it. This is where the mod looks for its voice clips.

Easy Red 2\
|- Easy Red 2.exe
|- BepInEx\
|  '- plugins\
|     '- EasyRed2.KillstreakAnnouncer.dll
'- KSounds\                             <- NEXT TO BepInEx, not inside it
   |- Sounds1\
   |- Sounds2\
   '- ...

Field Order 02

Launch and verify

Start the game and check BepInEx\LogOutput.log (or the console). A healthy load shows the mod's banner and the index line:

EasyRed2 Killstreak Announcer v1.1.0   <- the banner
Indexed 701 sound files across 50 event categories (0 unmapped)

Then go earn one: your first enemy kill of a battle calls First Blood.

Field Order 03

Tune it — in the .cfg, on purpose

There is no in-game menu and no console commands by design — the config file is the whole control surface:

Easy Red 2\BepInEx\config\com.stixsworldhd.easyred2.killstreakannouncer.cfg

It's plain text: edit with Notepad while the game is closed, then relaunch. Every entry carries a built-in description, its default, and an allowed min/max; a pre-filled copy generates on first launch, and deleting the file regenerates factory defaults. Highlights:

01 - General → MasterVolume (0–1, default 0.85) and MasterEnabled, the master mute.
02 - Multi-Kills → MultiKillWindowSeconds (1–10) — how forgiving multi-kill chains are; bigger = easier chains.
03 - Sprees → KillingSpreeAt … BerzerkAt — the kill counts for each spree tier; keep them in increasing order.
04 - Headshots → HeadshotCooldownSeconds — throttle so a headshot streak doesn't spam the line.
13 - Match Clock — off by default. Easy Red 2 doesn't expose a universal match timer, so this is best-effort: you tell it your match/phase length in seconds and it fires time warnings plus a final countdown from time-elapsed. Turn it on only for timed modes where you know the length.
Every category has its own Enable… toggle — keep multi-kills and victory lines, silence lead changes and adrenaline, or any mix.

What triggers what

The mod reacts to real in-game events for the locally controlled player. When several things happen at once, a small priority queue plays the big moment first (a Monster Kill beats lead chatter) and drops minor lines rather than overlapping them.

You do this in-game	You hear
First enemy kill of the battle	First Blood
2–9+ kills in quick succession	Double → Triple → Mega → Ultra → Monster → Ludicrous → Wicked Sick → Holy Shit
Kill milestones without dying	Killing Spree → Rampage → Dominating → Unstoppable → GodLike → Berzerk
Lethal helmet headshot	Headshot (and Headhunter every N headshots)
Grenade / explosive kill streaks	Explosive spree (Flak Monkey / Combo)
Kill while sprinting	Adrenaline / Speed (rare, on a cooldown)
Kill while injured / low HP	Clutch / Last Man Standing
Destroy a vehicle + its crew (new)	Road Kill, Road Rampage, Pancake… — crew also feeds your multi-kills & sprees
Capture an objective / collect a dog tag / revive	Capture / Nice Catch / Assist
Your faction takes or loses the lead	Taking the Lead / Lost the Lead
Die repeatedly with no kills	Losing Badly
Battle starts / ends	Prepare / Begin · Victory (Flawless Victory if you never died) · Defeat
(optional) Match-clock warnings	5/4/3/2/1-min, 30/20-sec, final 10…1 countdown

The bundled README lists the complete sound-to-event mapping — all 50 categories with per-event clip counts and representative file names, from 12 First Blood takes to 80 countdown clips.

Performance & behavior

Callouts play through a dedicated 2D audio source — straight to your ears, not positioned in the world — that ignores the listener pause, so they play cleanly.
Each clip is decoded on first use and then cached — no upfront cost. Prefer paying it all at battle start (and never risking a first-play micro-stutter)? Flip PreloadAllSounds = true.
The kill hook fires for every soldier in the battle, so it does the cheapest possible pointer check against the cached local player first and bails instantly for everyone else — negligible overhead.
Something looks off? Set VerboseLogging = true to see exactly which files mapped and which events fired in the BepInEx log.

Multiplayer & the Ungodly trio: this mod is a pure listener — it hooks the game's own kill / score / battle events, plays a sound, and writes nothing back, so there is no gameplay change to sync and nothing for other players to see. It reacts to the locally controlled player only, and it stacks cleanly alongside UngodlyAI, UngodlyBallistics and UngodlyGFX.

Engineering footnote — the IL2CPP war stories

Two early crashes in this mod's history are documented in the README because they're classic IL2CPP traps. v1.0.2: the injected MonoBehaviour exposed methods taking the mod's own enum; Il2CppInterop converts all instance methods of an injected type and waves every value type through its check, then throws resolving a non-existent IL2CPP class for the enum — fixed for good by splitting into a paper-thin injected shell plus a separate non-injected logic class the engine never sees. v1.0.3: the kill hook sat on a method taking Nullable<Vector3>; Harmony's trampoline must box every original parameter, and for a generic value-type instantiation the cached class pointer resolves to zero, throwing on every call — fixed by moving to the parameterless GameStatistics.OnPlayerGetKill() and the clean BattleManager.OnWin. If you mod IL2CPP games yourself, those two paragraphs in the README are worth the download alone.

Turning it off / uninstalling

Mute everything, keep installed: set MasterEnabled = false in the .cfg.
Uninstall: delete the plugin DLL (or its subfolder) from BepInEx\plugins\, and optionally the KSounds folder and the .cfg.
