Client-side modding • text to speech [tts]

I have created a mod which allow for text to speech in multiplayer chat

this mod logs every chat message to stderr then with a shell script you can grab those logs and send them to a TTS engine (I use espeak), it isn't really a plug and play system but I found it work well enough, for it to work you must pipe minetest's stderr into the tts script with a command like minetest 2>&1 >/dev/null | ./tts.sh

you can get the mod's source code and shell script at those addresses https://github.com/vulonkaaz/ttsminetest https://git.flyingcube.tech/ttsminetest.git/
