Are characters outside the area considered part of the caravan? When a character was processed as being outside the area because he was inside a predator in mods, the uninstructed AI mistook him for something else (this happened a long time ago). I wonder if it depends on mod_compability.

agree with @tri_idias. and can ai stop talking automatically? I want AI to stop automatically having conversations with (player). thanks for great mod.

@Juicy

The feature that character dialogues can affect the actual mood is great, but it needs some balance. Currently, character dialogues have too much of an impact on the mood, to the extent that conversations with other characters outweigh all other in-game factors that influence the mood. This value needs to be reduced.

Good job!

After the update, that previous issue no longer occurs, and some great features have been added. Thank you so much!!

Do your colonists talk to enemies, or only to eachother? Can they swear at their enemies mid-fight?

@vanvanzinhah In RimWorld, open Options -> Mod Options -> RimTalk.
The API key field is right at the top of that menu.

Hello, would it be possible to separate the "allow player created conversation" to two types instead? I've an avatar in my current game, and I would like to talk via the pawn but not as "player". If I disable that option, I can't chat with that.

Hello, I might be stupid but... sorry I can't find where to paste my API key. The tutorial says "paste it into the mod settings" but where are these settings? I searched in the mod folder and in the ingame mod manager and couldn't find anything

Conversation affecting mood and social relationships can now be turned on from the options (experimental WIP).
Added context filter customization for dialogue generation.

@OCEAN thank you for the feedback, and sorry for the inconvenience. Today’s update added environmental details at the end of the prompt (e.g., {Terrain: Wood Floor; Wall: Stone Wall; Beauty: General Surroundings: pipex3; Wealth: Treasures fill the home}). We did not change anything related to personality traits. It’s possible that the additional environment information is affecting the model’s focus and causing the dialogue to sound repetitive or overly self-descriptive. Hope @Juicy would consider whether adjustments or optional settings are needed.

After your rimtalk update today, the pawn's dialogue has become slightly strange.
They are overly focused on their own matters, such as personality traits, nearby objects in the environment, genetics, equipment, and traits, to the extent that their speech is extremely rigid and even directly repeats the aforementioned content.
It might be due to changes in the speech weights or something similar in the new version? I don't have previous data for comparison and am not entirely sure. However, I hope you can take some time to adjust it when you have the chance. Thank you very much!!

Is it even possible to take distance between pawns into consideration when they are talking between themselves? It's weird when they interact with each other over the whole base.

@Juicy Nice. Thx. (I stayed up all night talking to my colonists... Thank you, it was very exciting.)

@SaltGin Excellent work!
@Just leaf @cantallera These features should now be supported
@OCEAN That's an interesting idea. I’ll take note for future improvements.
@Winterstein This is something that I have thought of doing too. I’ll see if I can add more features for this later.

Hi folks!
1. Added support for Grok and Gemini-3-Preview.
2. Added log export and conversation-history reset options to the Debug Window.
3. Improved environmental perception (thanks to Alchuang22-dev).
Please report any issues you encounter!

Ru: Это просто ахуевший мод (в хорошем смысле, другими словами мне очень понравилось)
Eng: This is mod ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awsome!

The recent updates have been absolutely fantastic!! You're amazing, I can't play RimWorld without your RimTalk anymore.

I have a small idea regarding the process of generating and voicing pawn dialogues.
I've noticed that pawn dialogues often get cut off for various reasons, with the most prominent being interruptions when players interact with pawns. The pawns' lines are often truncated because the player interjects, which makes me constantly check the mod debug interface to see if the pawn still has more to say before I dare to continue the conversation.

I was wondering if it's possible to add a small feature where, after the AI has generated the dialogue but before the pawn actually speaks, a bubble with only "......" appears. Once the pawn speaks, this "......" bubble would be replaced. This way, it would be very intuitive to know whether the pawn still has more to say.
thanks！！！

Does this mod implies any consequences or is it just talking ?
Meaning: "if I say something positive about x", does x will have a social positive impact and vice versa?
Could people from the outside, turn bad and becoming angry at what you say ?

I guess not but still worth asking :D (and if someone wants to dig in, I think it would make it probably one of the best mod out there)

your are hero bro, o7

Can we save and export conversations? So they can provide better material for stories.

Hello, I tried to run the model on a local area network server, but rimtalk reported an error saying that unsafe links are not allowed. How can I solve this problem?

I can't even imagine how powerful it would be if it could be linked with Rimpsyche Personality Core!!

Made an addon that lets rimtalk pick up more details from ongoing events and map conditions! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3612632140

Well, generally, it's not something to worry about. It's probably an error because there are over 700 mods installed. I'll send you the log if it happens again next time.

Does this mod support xAI API keys? I'd like to see it working with Grok.

Can you put in the description what the mod takes into account, I was putting the backstory into the dialogue of pawns when a colonist suddenly mentioned that, that sounds like a good reason to download the mod.

hey does this play well with altered carbon?

@sasurai1674 hmm it seems to work fine for me. do you have the error log?

It was probably designed for humans, but after enabling animals to communicate through catalysts and then trying to smart-generate a personality (though it’s an animal, we’ll use this term for convenience), it crashed. The workaround is simple: the lazy solution is not to use smart generation for animal personalities. I hope as few people as possible make the same mistake.

Can the Vocal Link Catalyst be changed to be able to be produced? It's okay to have a lot of work and consumables, but waiting for the transaction will be too troublesome

After using the sensory tool on the animal, the interface for changing settings did not appear.

tps killer

Issue resolved. I switched to a different model (gemma-2-9b-it) and it's working perfectly now.

@Juicy it worked fine after sorting it

@g1b5n9m Some models just aren’t great at strict instruction following, and this one doesn’t seem to output the required format consistently. I’d recommend trying a different model. Gemma or Mistral Nemo usually work a lot better for RimTalk.

@阿克斯顿下士 @a瓜 Try moving RimTalk above any Hediff-related mods and see if that fixes it. I tested with Compact Hediffs and it worked fine for me.

I'm experiencing issues with RimTalk generating dialogues using LM Studio as backend. LM Studio works perfectly in its own chat interface.In RimTalk debug mode, it shows "Response failed". Only 2 successful outputs out of more than 10 attempts.

Some mods that modify the Hediffs page prevent you from clicking "Click to modify persona".

This mod is so amazing. can u tell me how i can change name (player)?

I have played with this mod for about 30 minutes now, and so far, my mechanitor has threathened to 'disengage her son's life support' and her mech has asked for upgrades on its own... I LOVE IT!

I think I've found the cause: I had the Mod 'Compact Hediffs' enabled. After disabling it, everything worked normally, so I suspect it might be incompatible.

@阿克斯顿下士, You should be able to click the hediff itself, the line that says “Vocal link implant” in the Health tab. That should open the persona window. Does it not work for you?

Excuse me, the VocalLinkImplant hediff said 'Click to modify persona', but I don't understand it because nothing happened after I clicked it. Could you tell me how to operate it?

Thank you!!! Really!!!

Non-human creatures, like animals, mechanoids, and custom races, can now talk! This is possible with the Vocal Link Catalyst, available from traders. Let me know if you encounter any issues.

@冬眠一夏 Prisoners’ persona can now be modified.

Prisoners and visitors can't have their prompts set. I remember it used to be possible, or am I mistaken? I like to add time points to my prompts, like when they were captured, when they joined the group, and which prisoners to treat kindly or hostilely in the dialogue. But now prisoners can't have their prompts set, so I really need this feature. I implore you to also allow setting prompts for other Sims!

@迦美奈 I remember someone reporting this earlier. It’s a Better Sliders issue. Their slider breaks when used in an overlay instead of a normal window. RimTalk uses an overlay, so you’ll need to let their author know.

Incompatible with the MOD - Better Sliders (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2218078784) , because of the little sliders in the RimTalk Debug window. Could you please fix it or do something? I don't want to give up either of them.
