Right now there’s no way I know of to get imported characters to auto-reply. The only way for now is to use their shortcuts. You have to manually trigger them when it’s appropriate for them to speak. However, they should behave as you expect, otherwise.

If you’re still having a problem importing files, is there a chance you could DM a non-working file to the Dev? I think they believe this issue is resolved.

The problem seems to be in a thread somewhere. I can export characters (no chats) and import that fine. I can import both pre-mem and post-update threads individually.

But when trying to export all characters + chats, something is breaking in the import. Could be one specific thread of mine ruining the batch?

It’s already been noticed by people in chat, thanks so much!

Also, unless I’m going crazy and it’s always been this way, thanks for setting it up so characters can read each other’s char sheets, if that’s something you did. If it’s always been that way then I’m just not as observant as I think, XD.

Thanks for the update. I’ll do as you suggest and wait for your next message, but I’m happy to run a long thread and check things periodically. Will make sure it’s something I don’t mind passing along if need be. Would it be alright if I shared the link with a couple extra people in the perchance discord? Get a few more eyes and hands bug-testing?

Sure, I would be happy to help test when it’s ready. Thanks for working on it!

I kind of rely on it not disappearing automatically. I don’t think that user knows that you can also clear the box by clicking on any character shortcut. Or, you know, ctrl-A then backspace, lol.

(The reason I like it staying is in case the AI response isn’t quite what I wanted, I can delete the message, edit my instructions without retyping the whole thing, and try another generation.)

(Edit: Just saw that you suggested an option. That’s good too, lol)

Also, possibly any way to add custom shortcuts through the Custom Code? So that we could ‘bake in’ the shortcuts to the characters instead of on the threads. Just a thought.

Yes, any way of calling imported characters without it being a physical user command would be a godsend. Would allow for more intricate automation, maybe even having characters trigger automatically if their names come up.

*I’m assuming it must be extremely tedious or something for the dev to put it off this long, lol. He’s been saying “a few days” for a few weeks. :p *

(No shade, Dev is awesome. Bug response is top-notch)

Yeah…almost like that’s the problem. XD

Got it, thanks! :D

So, first, it works brilliantly, thanks! One quirk, the keywords don’t seem to like spaces, which is weird. In the code I posted I was able to use “living room” as a keyword, but in your code it wouldn’t trigger until I shortened it to “living”. Any idea why that might be? Still very usable, I just thought it was a bit odd. (I did remove the if (message.author line and the expectsReply line.)

Edit: And I like your VN! :)

Oooh, thank you! And thank you for commenting everything, super helpful!

You can still find stocks that pay dividends. 3-month treasury dealios pay out regularly, and something like MORT (A REIT ETF) has like 11% dividend rate. Companies like Microsoft and Amazon also pay dividends, but small, like 3-5%.

Eyyy, thanks for sharing this. (I’m the one that asked, lol.) Super helpful when it’s needed.

If you’ve ever dealt with addiction or know someone who has, it’s not obvious. People will go to great lengths to convince themselves they don’t have a problem.

Which A.I. chat are you using, the old or new format? I just checked the old format (I had an old chat saved in it from before I switched) and tried exporting it. It named the file for me, and didn’t have those export options. Your files show “perchance-character-exports”, which is what happens when you export characters from the new interface.

Make sure you’re importing them into the new interface as well, using the “Import” button. Also, you can click the save icons in each thread to export just that thread and the characters in it.

The study identifies a disconnect between the high expectations of managers and the actual experiences of employees

Did we really need a study for that?

Crazy how the bureaucratic machine just keeps on chugging even when entire cities are being demolished by missiles and artillery. I’m sure it had something to do with maintaining relations with the countries relying on it too, but still. I assume they were even still being paid by Russia to allow the oil through, as part of whatever deal they had.
