Bug Fixes

Fixed a prompt malfunction issue.
This mod is currently testing a momentum system that determines a pawn's willingness to maintain a conversational flow with another interacting pawn. To do this, when sending a prompt to the AI, we require an identifier that helps it determine the purpose of the current utterance and whether the user is speaking with the intention of receiving a response.

We initially used a tuple for this identifier for readability, which repeatedly caused a 429 quota exceeded error (and sometimes worked, which was confusing). After removing the tuple, we successfully received a response. We found this issue while debugging and referencing the original RimTalk mod's code.

Major Bug Fixes

Fixed Pawns Stopping Speech: A critical bug where pawns' desire to speak would stop updating after a certain period of time from the start of the game, causing them to no longer generate dialogue, has been resolved.

Addressed Null Response Warnings and Missing Dialogue: Resolved an issue where the program failed to properly read the AI's response even though the AI successfully generated dialogue. This caused a Null response warning and resulted in the dialogue being omitted.

Fixed Outdoors Space Processing Errors: Fixed a severe bug that caused the game to freeze or crash in certain situations, especially when a pawn was near a door.


Improvements & Balancing

Improved Dialogue Request Queue Logic: The issue where all other pawns' dialogue requests were blocked while one pawn was waiting for an AI response has been fixed. Now, dialogue requests are made sequentially at a set interval, regardless of the AI response time.

Stabilized Time Calculation Logic: The core update logic of the mod has been synchronized with RimWorld's base time system to enhance stability and eliminate potential time calculation errors.

Improved Code Compatibility and Reliability: Replaced code that caused build errors in some RimWorld versions with standard APIs that work reliably across all versions.

Internal Code Cleanup: Outdated and unused code (e.g., if (false) blocks) has been removed, and the code has been modernized to comply with the latest API standards, reducing the potential for future errors.


A Note on Development
I'm new to C# and suspect that some of the custom methods I've created are causing mod-specific issues by overwriting the functions of existing RimWorld or Harmony code. I plan to gradually improve this over time.

Discovered an issue where a single request was being sent 4 times. The code has been fixed to ensure only one request is sent per action.

Fixed an issue where sending an empty initial message would confuse the AI, leading to inefficient responses and a 2-3x faster consumption of the API quota. This caused a 429 error and exhausted the API's resources shortly after the game started.
