Is there a version hoistory anywhere?

Okay I reloaded this mod and the issue was gone. Maybe the fix wasn't updated to my game before.

@Sayo Hikawa The mod was just updated with fixes for thought tracking. Updating to the latest version should fix this issue.

Hi, just wanted to report a small issue I noticed after the latest RimTalk update this morning. It seems that whenever any pawn—colonists, prisoners, or NPCs—eats a fine or lavish meal, the game sometimes crashes with a NullReferenceException. From what I can see, it comes from PatchMemoryThoughtHandlerTryGainMemory.Postfix, probably because newThought or otherPawn can be null. Adding a simple null check like if (newThought == null || otherPawn == null) return; should prevent the crash. This didn’t happen in the previous version. Thanks for all your hard work!

I used a free API key from Google AI Studio and encountered this issue with the default settings. I tried to fix it by adding instructions, saving, and reloading, but all my attempts were ignored. Now I’ve tried using a local model with LM Studio and the rimtalk-mini-v1 model from TheDrummer, and it looks like the issue is gone. Slave-slave and slave-master interactions are now handled correctly.

@Incursion That sounds like an issue with the LLM itself. I tested with Gemma and it worked fine. The pawn’s context info is passed correctly, but your model might just be struggling to follow the instructions. Try switching to a different one and see if it helps.

@vogelre Are you by any chance using a local model? I tested with Gemma and didn’t run into that issue. Try using the default prompt with Gemma and let me know if it still happens.

@Fuyun Could you give an example of the text or situation where this happens? I’m not sure what you mean.

@Juicy
还有一点是，模组似乎无法识别出任务完成的文本，会当作又一次接到任务来处理，这是游戏任务文本本身的问题吗？
One more thing I'd like to mention: the mod seems unable to recognize the text indicating task completion and instead treats it as receiving the task again. Is this an issue with the game's task text itself?

Slaves are speaking to each other as if they were speaking to their master, calling each other "master" or "sir" and offering to serve or be useful, etc. Is there any way to avoid this? I tried a lot of things in the "AI Instructions" settings, but had no luck.
Incursion Oct 4 @ 10:31am 
Using a local model, is there any way to make the llm use correct pronouns? It usually seems to default to "he" when generating, even if the pawn in question is female. Or is this maybe a problem with the llm itself? Should I look for another? Thanks
