TTS client mod for minetest

This mod is quite janky and need special tweaking for it to work

How it works

• a CSM logs every chat message into stderr
• stderr get piped into a shell script
• the shell script send the chat messages to espeak (along with a randomized pitch based on the username)

Requirement

• a somewhat POSIX compliant system, linux works, i guess BSD and macOS work too, do not ask me how to make this work on windows
• espeak (or any TTS engine that can read from stdin, modify the shell script if you use another one)

How to use

• copy the tts folder to your clientmods folder & turn on the client side mods
• launch minetest with minetest 2>&1 >/dev/null | ./tts.sh (replace minetest and tts.sh with the actual paths of those files on your system)
