"It's the second best bee mod"

- theess12 on Reddit



Buzzwords is an accessibility mod that does one simple thing. If you're 12 or so blocks away from a wild beehive of some sort, you'll get a 'BzZzZzZ...' text alert to notify you that bees are nearby. Get even closer, and you'll get even more z's. It's intended for players (like me) that can't hear ambient buzzing sounds for whatever reason. Maybe you've got that incredible VS soundtrack cranked up, maybe your significant other is shrieking like a howler monkey.



Mod Configuration

OPTIONAL: Now configurable in-game with a GUI! This new feature requires Config Lib and ImGui as dependencies. In-game: simply press [ESC] and click the new Mods Settings button to configure (or press [P]).

If you want to customize this mod the old fashioned way, see %appdata/VintagestoryData/ModConfig/buzzwords.json.

    BuzzRadius - the distance you need to be from a hive before the "beedar" kicks in - default = 12 blocks. thanks Briccars
    BuzzFontSize - the size of the bzzz message. Thanks Tigeria
    BuzzFontColor - the color of the bzzz message (an html color name or hex code i.e. html color names). Thanks Tigeria


Thanks to Maltiez for the mod configuration gui!

AlebenTod
configlib_1.3.13 and vsimgui_1.1.5?

Because it's working for me.

You could use the previous version of this mod (1.6), which doesn't use those mods at all.  And edit your config file the old fashioned way if necessary.

💬 AlebenTod, Nov 26th at 10:01 PM

when you try to open the config in Config Lib, the game crashes. Config Lib and ImGui latest versions for 1.9.8 mod version v1.7.0

💬 Germugulgon, Aug 10th at 8:05 PM

Thanks Spear - my tinnitus makes it really hard to hear the bees in this game, so this is completely necessary for me almost as an accessability option.
Keep up the excellent work.

💬 Deafscrat, Jul 17th at 8:30 AM

This is the best Mod all time for Deaf!

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, May 18th at 3:16 PM

Jzzpr
My best guess is to ensure that you are using the latest version of ConfigLib and ImGui.
Or stick with version 1.6 of this mod - it is the same as 1.7 other than that config stuff.

💬 Jzzpr, May 17th at 6:19 AM

I'm having an issue when using the latest version of the mod 1.7 to the latest version of the game 1.19.7 (Stable) with Config Lib and ImGui when pressing "P" it instantly crashes the game. I used the previous version of the mod 1.6 and it works perfectly fine.

Спасибо за мод! спустя 2 часа беганья по лесу я решил поставить мод и каково было мое удевление когда оказалось что я стоял в 5 метрах от улья и тупо его не слышал и не видел  ! 

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, Feb 6th at 6:36 AM

Alcyonaria
That's pretty vague. Any supporting info would help (like the server-main.txt log). Feel free to post it on the VS Discord or PM it to me over there. Thanks!

💬 Alcyonaria, Feb 6th at 12:50 AM

position error on newest version, causes crash

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, Dec 31st 2023 at 8:28 PM

fiqusonnick
Thanks!

💬 fiqusonnick, Dec 18th 2023 at 5:41 AM

IMPORTANT: Make sure you're downloading the right version. Somehow the new one caused my character to go into guest mode (no idea how). Otherwise amazing mod, should've been in vanilla.

💬 Bunuffin, Nov 29th 2023 at 12:16 PM

I tested it and it works, THANKS!

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, Nov 28th 2023 at 9:16 PM

Bunuffin
I have not tested it in multiplayer, but I rewrote it basically from scratch on Jun 3rd using an entirely different approach, it is running on 46 servers at the moment, and nobody has reported an issue.
My guess is that v1.5.0 will work on multiplayer for you.

💬 Bunuffin, Nov 28th 2023 at 8:52 PM

V1.18.15 Is this still not working in multiplayer?

💬 MentallyWill, Nov 7th 2023 at 7:08 PM

oops! that. that probably explains things. thank you!!!

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, Nov 7th 2023 at 2:44 AM

MentallyWill
You are probably not using the mod version that corresponds with your game version.
mod version 1.6.0 is for the VS 1.19.0 pre-releases ONLY
mod version 1.5.0 is for the VS 1.18 stable releases

💬 MentallyWill, Nov 7th 2023 at 12:49 AM

Hey !! so i was having some pretty bad fatal server errors that made my game unplayable and I found it came to this;

Tigeria
New version up.  Bigger brighter font by default, and it's also configurable via mod config. Thanks!
See the new screenshot above for a sample of the new default settings.

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, Sep 22nd 2023 at 11:51 PM

@Tigeria,
No it just leverages the built in font+color.  I will take a shot at making it something different (or configurable).

💬 Tigeria, Sep 22nd 2023 at 10:25 PM

Is there a way to change the font size or color? I tried digging around, but no luck.

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, Sep 2nd 2023 at 4:17 AM

@Zinloz,
Thanks again. Glad to hear that there was some resolution. Hopefully just a one off.

💬 Zinloz, Sep 2nd 2023 at 1:36 AM

SpearAndFang The working beehive and not working beehive both have the same ID (8140/game:wildbeehive-large). I think what's going on is the beehive block was placed, but it doesn't seem to be a working entity (although I have no idea why it produces sound if not, unless that's tied to the block and not blockentity...). Anyway, I say this because I've placed a ton of flowers and an empty skep at the non-registering beehive and the skep doesn't fill - so, it's not actually functioning as a beehive.

First time I've seen this happen so I'd just disregard this as an anomaly/game issue.

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, Sep 1st 2023 at 1:41 PM

@Zinloz,
Interesting. Thanks for the followup and screenshot.  Perhaps there is a hive variant that I missed entirely. I'll dig a little deeper and see what I can find.

💬 Zinloz, Aug 31st 2023 at 12:59 PM

https://ibb.co/ZLNST6S

Picture showing me right under a hive and it not working. Mod is definitely enabled.

But I'm also under a different hive now and it is working, so I don't know.

Edit: I just checked the hive that isn't working for me again, after verifying that the mod is working for a different hive. In the same game, did not restart or reload the world. Two different hives, one is detected by the mod and displays the "Bzzzz" and one isn't detected and doesn't show the "Bzzz".

I'll try downgrading the mod later and see if the broken hive starts working.

Edit 2: Same beehive does not register using 1.3.0, either.

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, Aug 31st 2023 at 3:52 AM

@Zinloz
I'm going to need someone to corroborate your story, because I'm not having any issues.

I just tested again (medium hives, large hives, hives in trees) with various versions of the game (1.18.7, 1.18.8, 1.18.9-rc.1) and the latest version of the mod of course (freshly download from the modDB) and it seems to be working perfectly.  I'm on Windows 10 btw.

I also tried deleting my modconfig file and my cache folder contents, but it's always working.

Are you sure that the mod is enabled in your mod manager?  if you have multiple versions of the mod in your mods folder that might cause a problem? idk what else to say.

💬 Zinloz, Aug 31st 2023 at 3:05 AM

I think the 1.4.0 update broke this completely. I'm using the default config, standing right under a hive I found by sound for 5~ minutes, and still have not seen the "Bzzzzz" come up. Worked fine for me before this version.

💬 MistAway, Aug 27th 2023 at 4:44 PM

Must have mod for me, since I have trouble hearing low frequency sounds. Thanks for an update!

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, Aug 27th 2023 at 4:13 PM

Briccars
I've done it. New version up. And thanks for the kind words.

💬 Briccars, Aug 25th 2023 at 12:17 AM

Great mod, would be cool if we could adjust the radius for maximum beedar

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, Jun 28th 2023 at 5:50 AM

🤘 I knew 🤘

💬 Coleroni, Jun 28th 2023 at 1:00 AM

megadeaf concert started 15 minutes ago and nobody knew

💬 Jaarl, Jun 6th 2023 at 6:32 AM

Thanks for the update! Can't wait to give it a try!

💬 chippit, Jun 4th 2023 at 4:45 AM

I've successfully heard wild bees all of Once in hundreds of hours in this game, so this is a blessing.

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, Jun 3rd 2023 at 5:17 PM

New version up for 1.18.x.  A complete rewrite that is now compatible with From Golden Combs, and may even work on multiplayer servers. 

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, May 31st 2023 at 6:06 AM

@hron84 nope sorry

💬 hron84, May 30th 2023 at 10:34 PM

@SpearAndFang but it does work on singleplayer in 1.18.x?

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, Apr 26th 2023 at 6:37 AM

AngryOscar As far as I know it only works in single player

💬 AngryOscar, Apr 26th 2023 at 6:33 AM

Until update is ready, Would it still work over LAN if mod is installed on both computers? 

💬 Jaarl, Apr 21st 2023 at 2:48 PM

Ah no worries, thanks for the update!

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, Apr 21st 2023 at 2:08 PM

@Jaarl yes it has issues in multiplayer which is why I did not update this mod for VS 1.18.x.  It is need of a rewrite - I just need to find the time.  I've added a warning about this to the description page.

💬 Jaarl, Apr 20th 2023 at 3:02 PM

Thanks for the mod, SpearAndFang! However, it doesn't seem to work in multiplayer, even with the mod installed server- and client-side. Singleplayer works fine. Any ideas?

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, Oct 23rd 2022 at 3:16 PM

I shored up the logic some more and did some additional testing.  Hopefully the problem that Dij encountered will no longer be a problem.

💬 SpearAndFangAuthor, Sep 6th 2022 at 5:43 AM

Dij thanks for the kind words and for reporting the issue.  I've added your report to my to-do list and will hopefully have it sorted out soon.

💬 Dij, Aug 20th 2022 at 6:56 PM

This mod is one of my favorites, it's basically essential for me. Just wanted to let you know i got a crash on my server while i was hosting while using open to lan-> open to internet

My pleasure - My story is slightly different - I play VS in a shared space, so I have to keep the audio relatively low.  Got tired of never finding bees.

I tested this mod with v1.17.0-pre.1 and it seemed to work aok.
