I'm new to rimworld and rimworld modding. This one of the first mods I've ever tried and while it does seem to work (I'm using local + koboldcpp over ollama api endpoints, just need to set http://localhost:5001/api/) I don't have much time to read the dialogue boxes (I'm not really a fast reader and it can generate quite a lot of text), luckily there's the chat overlay but... I can't navigate / scroll through it.

installing. PS: i think you are The Arcotech !

@oldnewone thank you for the excellent bug report.

I don't have much to go on, and I'll be back with better testing and a hugslog, but I've been slowly weeding out red errors and mods that seem to trigger a "no player faction generated" and for some reason rim dialogue causes this error. I haven't done bare minimum testing but still wanted to drop a comment. I really want to use this! So I'll be back!

If I want to ban certain topics, could it be done by simply deleting the related text in the txt files in the 'Nouns' folder? Or are they hard-coded?

Is it possible to have Rimpsyche integrated? Is there anyway to have prompt reading Rimpsyche data?

is it possible to add compatibility with Rumor Has It?

I want to try it with Gemini 2.5 Pro API, but RimDialogServer forces thinkingBudget of 0 which results in HTTP 400. Could you make it configurable? It'd benefit Flash as well

Hands down, my favorite mod to ever exist in the game. Thank you so much. I've been having a blast with it.

In Interactions_Social,xml there is:
<li>r_logentry->[INITIATOR_nameDef] [talkedabout] [INITIATOR_posessive] [performance] in the battle, '[battle]', with [RECIPIENT_nameDef].</li>
and [INITIATOR_posessive] should't be [INITIATOR_possessive]?
also in RecentBattleChitchat,xml there is the extra bracket ]
in
<li>r_logentry->[INITIATOR_nameDef] and [RECIPIENT_nameDef] [talkedabout] the recent battle, '[battle]'].</li>
The closing ] at the end breaks the parser?
Thanks for the mod. Really enjoying gold access:)

this mod is so much fun "peak cinema" i would love integration with rimpsyche also a option to configure the amount of time dialogue for the top center interface other than that pretty fun mod

@ZAX there is now a "colonists only" flag in the mod settings that should do some of what you need.

@Al120 I'm glad you are having fun!

@Ronin Glad you got it working! I think the context window is probably not the issue. I am not adding all the stored conversations as context. And most models have a huge context window. I think the issue is more likely context rot. These small models are often very dumb when the context you give it is not relevant to the task. They get distracted easily and forget what they were doing. This gets better with larger models but is still a pain in the but.

@Schnorf Thank you for saying nice things! What you saw was probably an unintentional quirk caused by 1.6. I will be on the lookout for it.

@тетеря, блин Thank you for all the feedback! You should join the discord. It is easier to read and write in then steam.

There seems to be a bug where the mod would try to get the baby to do the SameIdeology dialogue event, but the baby pawn's Ideology is null , so a System.NullReferenceException appeared. Maybe it's because I have added another mod called toddlers, which adds a child-based toddler growth stage, but it belongs to babies.

@Costa use a space to separate words

sorry for spamming, the last one thing, please, to consider: every pawn could have a free prompt field to add; ideally, every race or every faction too. only when these pawns became the objects of interactions, these promts count. this would allow to be more precise without overloading all the dialogues with unnescessary information (that may affect quality, as fas as I understand). for example, I have a pawn from mode Paniel Automata – it's automatone, a robot basically, so this info should be highly prioiritized before generating anything to from her mouth (or about her too). also, player could add some roleplay details he or she wants, like describing something specific about a pawn.

How should I edit filter words if I want to add multiple words? Which delimiter should be used, comma, semicolon or blank?

another error, this time during a fight:

https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/063f55dfc6ba7a4badcb06f44e65be61

the last step further would be making pawns not only make up dialogues based on actions and conditions, but allowing dialogues affect actions and conditions. like having a bad talk about something specific → some bad mood state which is described by that talk. Or something like have talk about going hunting early in the next morning → actually going hunt. But this would be much harder, because every possible action in game should be trained by an LLM model. that would be almost «13th Floor», if you know that film. This would be closed feedback system where actions and talks are interchained.

This mod's done wonders for my current colony, had my main colonist make quips effortlessly beating back Demons from the Rim World of Magic mod. With the Demons talking back being evil.

To even contextual moments where one of my other colonists was talking to a toddler in my colony about how his Mom constantly spends time researching, but the boy was up beat and responds that he's not sad cause his Dad spends a lot of time playing with him.

Which is insane, but very accurate as both his parents did exactly those things.

+1, the mod below is cool.

Historically in 1.5 i've used 1-2-3 personalities. With this mod upping the game should i be removing those sort of mods or is there a recommendation for a synergy of mods to improve rimdialog further?

and, yeah, sorry for spamming, but please add compatibility with these ones:

1. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3450332059

taking languages into account it could generate pretty fun cotexts when two pawns don't understand each other, or maybe partly, if a language of another pawns has the same roots as yours.

2. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3535813796

talks about items they own, about gift etc – it could be a nice addition

3. Also, would be great to save previous dialogues and what they said to each other, so they could talk about them later. Let's say we keep collecting them through the month to randomly keep a couple of them (maybe with weights: the more chance this dialogue will be kept the more unregular pawns felt each other: amount of critical conditions, very low or very high mood etc). Then by the enod of the year we have 12-24 dialogues they can refer to, considering current context. This would be awesome.

speak up is turned off, only interaction bubbles:

https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/e9ae9b8b7633f86c2895827993bf2097

tested once again. it does behave strange, showing SpeakUp.Talk.Replies, but right now it showed me a whole prompt in the RimDialogue window (and in SpeakUp, imagine how big the bubble was):

https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/317e26d52bb719e31812b7e461fc99a3

adding this line to the prompt («At the same time speakers realize they're in game and comment on how cruel it is to play their lives.») gave a funny twist:

«Gasparich and his crafting ideas... Gods, this game is sadistic. Hope he knows what he's doing, or we're all screwed.»

or

«Crashed with Irma, huh? Game's twisted sense of humor. Stuck with the kid-philosopher. Could be worse, I guess. Still, feels like someone's writing bad fanfic with our lives.»

meanwhile Irma: age 13, has a «Genetic Reincarnation» backstory starting with «Irma was vat-clone of an ancient philosopher-tyrant…»

I'm impressed.

seems like it doesn't work well with «SpeakUp». throws too many errors, haven't seen them much before adding this mod to the game (new playthrough).

also, if possible, please, add compatibility with RimLanguages, so this mod could take into account if two pawns know the same languages. and, yeah, high hopes for SpeakUp compatibility – I don't see any bubbles.

I found RimDialogue.OnlyColonists in my language files, but it doesn't exist in my settings. Is this an error?

Couldn't dialogue generation be faction-based? When enemies raid, there's a ton of dialogue between them.

Got it working. Turns out it just wasn't displaying the Models for me, I thought "Default" defaulted to the one I'd edited but now I see the full list and it's working. A quick technical question, is there a way to increase the context length of a model on Ollama or through the local server? I noticed that if you fill in the colony prompts, responses/conversations regarding things mentioned in the prompt become a bit mixed up/nonsense. This is with a prompt of only 200 characters and not that many conversations. I assume not storing many conversations will help with this, do they get deleted and so the context length becomes less full / can't get full?

Can we get a guide for how to get this working with Ollama. There are 3 separate sections explaining how to install each and set up the mod but then upon launching the game, all I get is this error -

[RimDialogue v0.81.1] Error fetching ScenarioInstructions: System.Exception: Entry -1 - Error posting to ' http://localhost:7293/home/GetScenarioPrompt' . ---> System.Exception: Entry -1 - Network error: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

First off- amazing mod. This has breathed a lot of life into the day-to-day stuff of my colonies.

Second, a question: Since 1.6, I've quite often had conversations and thoughts of pawns that were no longer on the map pop up, both after I left the tile with the gravship, but also from a slave that escaped. This persists until I save and reload - is this an intentional feature, or a quirk caused by some change in 1.6?

I had the same issue with 猫与星象仪. Often, it's megaspiders or cats having "conversations" instead of actual colonists. I'd love to have an option to filter out wild animal dialogues. Maybe even disable dialogues between enemies or less important colonists once the colony gets large.

What tier of the mod acknowleges xenotypes and is there/can there be a version that acknowleges HAR races?

Could go a long way for immersion

Hi john.roper,I really love your mod! It adds so much fun and depth to the game. Thank you for your hard work!I have a small question: sometimes the dialogues from wild animals flood my screen and cover the conversations from pawns that I want to see. I was wondering if there is an option to disable or hide the wild animal dialogues?Please forgive me if my English is not perfect — I used a translator to write this message.
Thank you very much for your help and for making this amazing mod!

@Nebe Speak Up! seems to be incompatible. There's some errors with it and seemingly makes invisible all of the conversation history in a pawns social tab... at least for me.

Support for Deepseek, please

I also found that this mod prevents me from recruiting prisoners properly. Once I remove it, I can recruit them without any issues.

@john.roper its off， but no help

@Nebe I am not aware of any mods it won't work with right now but due to the shear number of mods I'm sure there is something it doesn't work with. Social interactions added by other mods should work and generate dialogue as well.

is this mod compatible with mods like rumor has it and social interactions

@john.roper I was stupid for not reading the mod page, thank you

@Urek lol, have fun!
