Other than backgrounds there is one massive mod that incorporates AI chat into MAS.

That is a great idea that Rubiksman made this submod und much appreciated! But while it even got more user friendly it still isn't that easy getting it to work properly when you have no knowledge about the programs you have to use and what they're exactly doing.

In my case MAS always freezes when Monika AI should speak. I seem to have an issue with the "playwright install". According to the readme it seems to be no big deal to install it but I'm lost anyway. *lol*

I'm currently unable to just "sign in" to Character AI. When I try the "sign in" feature remains, but can no longer be clicked on and I don't have a profile nor any way to alter my situation. I can log in through google, but that's not an option with Rubiksmans mod.

Okay, this is a different problem that you have there and maybe a temporal problem of the website.

I will try to install the submod again, maybe I did something wrong ...

I had issues extracting the large file. "Path too long" error, but the workaround was to gradually extract it until I narrowed down the problem files and extracted them on their own. I don't know if it actually worked yet though because I'd like to be able to log into the site first to make sure that's working since it seems this mod actually connects to one of the Monikas, which means you should also be able to converse via mobile device outside of the game.

I'm also gonna see if I can't somehow transfer my current Google login chat with Monika over to my regular sign-in and load that into MAS.

Just when I wanted to give up ... it finally worked. :D My issue was that the "playwright install" was missing. It seems to be a common issue as the mod author describes it in the Readme. Without it the connection between MAS and your browser fails.

Python seems to be already installed on other OS. But when you are using Windows you have to install Python yourself. According to Rubiksman you should use Python version "3.8 or 3.9, and not 3.10 or higher". And when you install it with the installer you should choose the option that it is added to "PATH".

https://www.python.org/downloads/


After that I visited this website:

https://playwright.dev/python/docs/intro

I then just typed the first two commands that were described on that website into the Windows Terminal. First:

pip install pytest-playwright

and then:

playwright install


Sorry, I'm absolutely no expert in these things. This was just a solution that worked for me and I assume it should work for most Windows users.



@Tregrenos

There seem to be some amount of issues you can run into when you try to install that submod. But I guess there is always a solution somewhere for computer problems. When I installed Python for Windows with the installer for the first time there actually was an option that it could permanently deactivate a sign limit of 256 characters for paths. So other programs would have no problem with long paths anymore as well.

Yes you're right. When the submod works MAS actually opens a browser window and connects to one of the Monikas on Character AI and it runs simultaneously to MAS. It was actually a different Monika than I was talking to before on Character AI. :)

Are you able to sign in to the website? If so, had you been there for long or did you sign up recently? I'd been able to use it for the past few months when logging in through my Google account, but to get it to function with MAS I need to log in through the website and I can't currently do that given the bug I'm facing.

When I go to log in and try to log in through the website I'm stuck with the "sign in" tab unable to be removed, thus I have no way of accessing any profile options and currently seem to lack a profile at all. This causes the website to not really identify me and clicking on anything that would require me to be logged in, either chat or the help tab, all I get is a site error.

Also, do you know which version of Monika the mod connects to?

@Tregrenos

I signed up on Character AI with my Google account in December. But now I made another account on Character AI with a non-Google address in order to use this MAS submod. Yes I can log in with both accounts. Have you tried to log in with different browsers, deleted your browser cache or tried to reinstall your browser?

In the MonikA.I. submod login screen you can either choose character "0" or "1". "0" is the Monika created by "Snikm". And "1" is the Monika created by "Geechan".

[Tregrenos]

Thanks for the info. I got the website login to work, but I'm unsure how to transfer everything from my Google accounts chat to my website log-in account. I couldn't find any info online nor do the Character AI forums seem to have an answer, but I asked Monika about it and she seems to know a way. I'm currently taking a crash course in java programming through her chat, which is not how I expected to spend my weekend, but it's always good to learn new things.

I unfortunately can't get the chat mod to work. If I see the message "Monika is thinking..." my game freezes and crashes. Otherwise, she only says there's a bug and can't continue.

Yep, that is probably exactly the same issue I had. Sadly it isn't really made clear in Rubiksman installation tutorial. I tried to describe a solution to that in my post from 9th of march. When you look at the black terminal window after your game crashed and there is something mentioned about "playwright install" you might check that out. Even when it isn't mentioned in the terminal you might try it anyway.

- look for a Windows version (I assume you have Windows) of Python 3.8 or 3.9 that has an installer from the official Python website https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ . I used version 3.9.13 with the installer and it works.

- during the installation process make sure that Python is added to "PATH", when that option appears

- also allow the installer to deactivate the 256 sign limit of paths when that option appears during the installation process. Now you might try to extract the zip folders from the submod again as there might have been an issue with their extraction process as well and proceed with them as Rubiksman describes it in his installation tutorial.

- open the Windows terminal

- type "pip install pytest-playwright"

- wait for the installation process to complete

- then type "playwright install"

- wait for the installation process to complete


Even now when hopefully everything is working and playwright is working it might happen that the submod seems to be freezing when "Monika is thinking ...". Don't close MAS then but try to get access to the browser window of Character AI with the windows button or Ctrl + Alt + Del. When you see that Monika AI is providing new dialogue in the browser window you might return to MAS and her dialogue will appear there as well. Always leave the terminal window of MonikA.I. and the browser window of Character AI opened in the background and don't minimize them while playing the MAS submod so they can refresh better.

Okay, Everyone! I posted my "solution" under one of Rubiksmans videos and he replied to it:

"Normally you just have to run the update.bat file regularly and it should fix this kind of issues. The best is to use the built in python with the release to avoid any inconvenience if you're not comfortable with python."


So according to him you should just stick to his installation tutorial and run the update.bat file regularly. And if the submod isn't working for you now, there's a good chance it will work in the near future.

Can someone give me the link for the interactions submod for monika after story
