Hi there! I'd love to debug this for you - could you send me a screenshot of the issue?

And it should be fixed! Just uploaded a new version where I don't prefilter the events. Now any priority works!

Oh, thank you for the bug report! That is definitely unintended behavior and there should be no restrictions. Must've slipped through my testing.
I'll fix that as soon as possible.
Sorry for the issues!

Those three plugins heavily influence the base mechanics of RPG Maker MZ, and are untested with this small plugin. Compatibility can't be guaranteed. I tested CGMZ core with this, works fine, but couldn't get the demo of MZ3D to run. A quick glance in the source code reveals heavy influence on the events...

I only guarantee compatibility with Visustella. The rest is up to you - if you get the full source, you can try creating a compatibility or ask the devs of those plugins to please adhere to the standards RPG Maker MZ set out. I can't create perfect synergy to all and every plugin, I'm sorry.

Have you tried everything in the post  above?

That aside, maybe it's a setup issue. I attached a screenshot. The second page is just the switch off event, and switching the self switch off.

There might be other plugin incompatibilities. Could you send me a list of stuff that's running on top of the proximity plugin? How big the the file you are playing (in kb)?Could you try setting up a new project with just this plugin and see if it works there?
I'm 99% sure its either a wrong setup or a plugin conflict.

if you take a look at this video, it works:

Are you trying to switch off a sound you set via note tag? That doesn't work. The note tag sounds are permanent.

Hello again!

I just published a huge update. Me and my testers couldn't see the bug you reported anymore - please try the new version and see if it solves your issues~

Hi, thanks for the bug report! Unfortunately (as is the norm lol) "it works on my machine", I know that doesn't help you even a little bit.

There might be other plugin incompatibilities. Could you send me a list of stuff that's running on top of the proximity plugin? How big the the file you are playing (in kb)? In what context do you try to use the plugin command (via button triggered event? in a common event? etc)
I'll try to help as much as I can. If we can't make it work, I'll send you the full source for free and you can try on your own.

Hello!
Thanks for buying~

Currently formatting is not supported. The issue is that the text is rerendered on a char-by-char basis, which would cause boldening with \*this\* into "\*th" haflway through, losing the connection. As it's currently coded it wouldn't be possible.
THAT BEING SAID: I can try to add "format cursive" and "format bold" formatting options to addText as a whole - rendering a whole message with formatting. 
You could have single words formatted that way with clever autoAdvance setups. Is this something you wanna try out? If yes, I'll try to add that feature for you. No promises, though~

if you want to try your hand yourself at it (as you bought the full source), you can look into the Window_Narrative.prototype.refresh function.

There, you should see a "changetextcolor" function. if you at that point add another if or two to check for "i wanna embolden/cursive", it should work.

Hello there!

I know it might be frustrating when you fail at the setup, but please refrain from profanity here.

I want to help you. Can you press F8 (opens the console) before a sound is supposed to play and post the logs here? Debugging a "it doesn't work" remotely is unfortunately not possible. There is a way to activate a debug mode in the Plugin Settings, which activates console logging.

A few questions:

1) What is the file name of the sound you want to play? Is it in the correct folder according to the documentation? Keep in mind only .ogg files are supported.

2) How exactly does the Note look like (In case you are using the note system, not the commands)? Can you copypaste it here? On a normal event it should look like this:

 <PS>radius:10; file: water_stream; maxvolume: 0.5;</PS>

...for a file called "water_stream.ogg". This is not a comment in the event, but a note. (Second input at the top)

3) is this set via event note or plugin command? In the case of plugin commands the sound might not play on first try when the file itself is too big. The RPG Maker MZ soundmanager isn't powerful enough to handle streaming the sound in afterwards, so it's just skipped. In this case leaving and re-entering the radius will make it work. If that last one is the case, it's unfortunately a limitation of the Program itself, not the plugin. I would suggest smaller files in this case.

If you could provide the setup  you did for this plugin, I will recreate it on my machine and debug it for you.

Might be a conflict with another plugin that touches events. To confirm, try the following:

- Create a new project
- install and activate ONLY the Field Skill Plugin
- set the plugin to show in the menu, don't change anything else
- Add <FS: RESTORE_ENABLED> to the Notes of the map
- On the fresh map, place a treasure chest with some content
- Start the game. Open the Chest. Try to restore.

If this is working, it's either a setup issue or a plugin conflict. It's a bit hard to debug remotely. If the issue still happens, try opening the console while the game is running (F8) BEFORE it crashes, and then post the crash error message in full here.

Hey mate,

I added Icons. Download the newest version. Hope it helps~ (Maybe that speedy fix is worth buying the full source? :D)

Thanks!

Hi, that's certainly doable! I'll get to it, probably on the weekend.

Bonjour !

Je peux confirmer que le bogue que vous avez signalé est un problème. Je l'ai corrigé dans la dernière version. Merci pour votre rapport et votre compréhension.

Je suis allé trop loin en essayant de créer une compatibilité avec VisuStella, et il s'agit d'un oubli malheureux. Si le moteur de base de VisuStellas était actif, le bogue ne se produisait pas.

Hello !

I can confirm that the bug you reported is a problem. I've fixed it in the latest version. Thank you for your report and your understanding.

I went too far in trying to create compatibility with VisuStella, and this is an unfortunate oversight. If the VisuStellas core engine was active, the bug would not occur.

I added a parameter in "addText" with which you can switch that automatic formatting on and off. Unfortunately I can't add it via elegant {{}}, because Visustella can only check the closing brackets if they are actually there. In case of fading in narrative text Visustella sees "{{123" partially, for example.

That is an unfortunate limitation between those two plugins.

For movies I got bad news. Both a movie and a narrative text try to block the game via the waitmode. A movie sets the wait mode to "video", which basically blocks everything until that waitmode is set to idle. Similarly, this plugin blocks everything by setting the waitmode to "narrative", so those two things can never work together.

There might be other plugins that let you arbitrarily play video files without setting a waitmode, but as it is, this unfortunately just doesn't work out.

Hmmm... I don't specifically do any text formatting, so that probably comes from rmmz itself. I'll see what I can do over the weekend, maybe an optional parameter to switch that number formatting off.

Regarding videos: this plugin only covers the text. The images or whatever else you want to show comes from rmmz itself or another plugin. 

If you got a video plugin with some looping background feel free to link it, I'll look into creating some compatibility.

Not yet - is that a requirement? I might look into it if it's something you need; I'm sure others would like it as well.

Hi,

you were completely right! Thank you for bringing the issues to my attention. I uploaded a bugfixed version today. 

Quick explanation: When optimizing the loading of the sound files i added a new function to preload the audio when the map is entered. During that I removed the loading of new files on runtime - completely forgetting that sometimes we need new files. Now it should work.

My bad!

- BP

Completely replaces the Spinner. 

If you need a version where you can only toggle a custom fadeout/fadein, let me know.

Whoops, my bad. I pushed a new version - should be fixed now. Thanks for the bug report~

I just now released an update with the changes you need. I hope this helps~ 

(ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ

Hi there!

Put the plugin (.js file) into <your project root>/js/plugins/
There should be a couple of default plugins in there already. No need to create new directories!
After that, in RMMZ, navigate to plugins and add the AI plugin there. The rest is documented in the engine.

I fully agree about the responses being unstable. After all, that's the main feature - and problem - of AI responses. You never know what you get back, so it might be fully hallucinated nonsense. You can try to steer the responses to be more refined by writing better prompts, but as soon as they get lengthy, that just ups the cost per response with very diminishing returns. As such, I highly recommend to only use this for NPC chatter, not for a main plot line - or an NPC that NEEDS to give accurate directions.

In your example with the wise man, you can add all those lore details to the prompt. Then it should be part of the response, however... it may be not. Depending on the AI.

That - paired with the running cost issue per request to openAI - is also the reason why this plugin is fully free. It's experimental, and from my personal point of view not "production ready" for a commercial game.

Regarding NPC objects - I just tried it for a chair, and the result was:
"Oh, hello! I'm just a simple chair, but I've seen many adventurers come and go."

I then tried a more refined prompt ("Respond in asterisks, describing actions, [...]"), the result was:
"*You are sitting down on the chair, which weirdly enough sighs.* Ah, that's the spot! I've been waiting all day for someone to give me some purpose. Rest here for a moment, adventurer."
...interesting result, LOL.

And lastly, 2Plaer: yeah, admittantly I was bothered a lot by his responses. To make "demands" for a free and marked as experimental plugin just irked me, and then him describing features that aren't even in here... I dunno. Honestly I may have been too flippant, but that sure annoyed me.

The full source code, readable and editable. The other version is obfuscated. 

If you are not a JavaScript developer, the cheaper version is what you want. If you want to tinker with actual source code, the full source is what you need.

Yes! (And it was a pain to debug the initial incompatibility!) 😁

None of this makes any sense because nothing of what you said has anything to do with this plugin. Have you even tested it? The players can't prompt the AI, it's the dev.

1) players can't prompt the AI. 

2) players can't prompt the AI. But even if they could, they'd have to do massive jailbreaks to escape from openai safety limits.

3) players can't prompt the AI, therefore they don't have to type anything

4) multi language is supported.

5) it's not a free chat because the player can't prompt directly 

Your solution isn't valid because it has nothing to do with this plugin. And the last comment is even more baffling.

The AI in this plugin doesn't generate js code or game logic. It literally just generates NPC chatter based on Dev-defined prompts. 

In the future, I recommend actually trying a plugin or read the code if you plan to bash it.

Mind you, ask the points you raise works be good critique... For a different plugin. This here has nothing to do with it.

This is an experimental, free plugin I threw together in an afternoon to quickly generate NPC chatter. To even think to "make demands" is beyond ludicrous.

I played along with opening the source code because yeah, a malicious dev could've nabbed the API key. The readable source code proves this plugin literally can only do one thing and nothing else: generate NPC chatter based on dev defined prompts.

Stop fighting against windmills.

Sure, no problem! Uploaded the unobfuscated version as well. Honestly, I just wanted to hide my shoddy code rather than create a trade secret.

I'm kinda intrigued by the "filter by keywords" thing you mentioned. Maybe I can add this if it's relevant?
