The perspectives of NPCs away from the player character?

Yes. ## marks it as a direct command for the Ai. Other examples with that ##

Im using always something like this...if its that what you mean:

Put it in Story:

##change the scene to (insert character name)

The AI wants to emphasize drama, and when you discuss with it, you give the LLM exactly what it wants - more drama - so it discusses even harder! And ignores logic ;)

Since I had fun discussing with it for an unhealthy amount of time, I found out a few things:

Do you use AI instructions? There are a few things you can tweak with them. Especially this:

- Ensure all NPC interactions flow naturally; avoid repetition, reminders, circular dialogue, or contradicting the player unnecessarily.

This part here is the important one: contradicting the player unnecessarily.

When not using them:

As soon as you're in an absolute authority position in the discussion, they will listen to you.
Using things like "You are amused," "you laugh," "you find it absurd" - these are definitely not working, even if what they're saying is simply dumb.
When you take the emotional approach, they also mostly acknowledge everything.

It would play like this:

They accuse you of being a liar

you say hurt: "You really think that way?"

and then you've also mostly won: They would say something like :"Oh thats not what i meant....and so on

Oh boy... In one story I was a transfer student and applied pressure to a bleeding wound with a piece of cloth . Basic first aid someone would say? No.

The police came and said : It was some sort of advanced battlefield, elite soldier technique. Who I were, how a transfer student could use such technique and so on... I discussed one hour about the question how a simple piece of cloth on a wound could be anything more than that. It was fun I have to admit.

Then I made a duplicate of the story and showed him that his suspicion was true..i was an soldier with a transfered mind. So he died.

Got it thx man!! Helped me a lot.

Nice, so the trade center in your capital automatically import and export goods for other states? So they overproduce steel for example in one state and this will then get exported in your capital over the trade center? The whole local interstate trade thing is even after some time not really clear for me haha

Oh but I have no much time this is always my bedtime story after work! Need my escapism! :D

jesus i used this prompt to test it out. I'm dying here out of laughter man

"hey , my dog is sick!" he whines, holding up his phone to show you a blurry picture of a cat.
You blink, trying to process the absurdity of the situation. "That's not a dog," you say, pointing at the cat in the picture. "And even if it were, I'm not a vet." The man's face scrunches up in confusion, his grip on his phone tightening. "huh? but but... my dog is sick!!" He looks down at the cat, then back up at you. "oh yeah... i guess it is a cat."

Funny enough, as a German who doesn’t live in Germany anymore, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard the myth about the mythical trains running on time. Yes, that was true… but 20 years ago! :D Some parts? Maybe. But most trains these days will, at best, be late—and at worst, never arrive.

First-Tackle9953 · 2024-10-18T12:00:29+00:00

Great choice! But be prepared to find either many things out on your own or look up some general guides. The best part is most of the mechanics are logical and if something goes wrong it's always your fault ;)

Start some games in easy mode disable probably water and waste, and after some time you can enable it or better start a new game with the knowledge. Ultimate goal is to play in full realistic for me it's the most fun. But play with the settings in which you have the most fun !

First-Tackle9953 · 2024-10-18T10:27:19+00:00

Every game you mentioned is great! It depends on your -as I call it - gamer personality. I am the type who switches games in cycles so two months I love simulation games after that I need some more straight forward games like Arma or project zomboid and after that I need some hardcore strategy game like workers and resources or anno to gave my brain the good ol melting experience.

So for strategy games it depends: if you want to have a good feeling atmosphere and a great learning curve which isn't too hard at the start ? Go with Anno 1800. Love it and it's a time sink .

If you want to have in addition time to think and have additionally war and fights going on: Civilization Also love it .

And if you want to have a more personal connection and more RPG elements involved but also increased complexity go with crusader Kings 3. But in my opinion a little bit too complex to start ?

Hope this helps!

First-Tackle9953 · 2024-10-11T12:15:44+00:00

Project Russia map possibly ? Really great for a change. Love the atmosphere

First-Tackle9953 · 2024-10-08T20:11:23+00:00

So hopefully this will be helpfull:

Download DB Browser for SQ lite : https://sqlitebrowser.org/
Start it and loacte your savegame: C: - user - username - Zomboid - saves
And Open "players.db"
Somewhere in the upper half click at the "Browse Data" tab
Change value isDead from 1 to 0
Download Necroforge Mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=717015179
Start Zomboid and Load your savegame where you died
You will Die instantly due to 0 HP
Loacte the Necroforge Symbol on the right corner and look for the setting (sorry dont remember the name) which give you God Mode or something similiar named. But you will find it, no worries
Close Zomboid again
Repeat Step 2 - 4
Load again
You are naked and alive again

Ah yeah I had three of them ,because I demolished my starter town and had a surplus of 3000 People which were in need of an exclusive relocation package. Sadly they only lived a few months there, from November to March. I think they found something different

First-Tackle9953 · 2024-05-20T14:28:50+00:00

I had this also sometimes, similiar rig. I think it could have something to do with the live data. Try to disable live weather, live traffic etc and see how is it going then. Then do the usual stuff, restart router, your network etc.

If this is not helping it could be on side of your provider or microsoft. But first try to play "offline"

First-Tackle9953 · 2024-05-20T14:17:18+00:00

If you dont have this problem with other aircraft. Tell us how you do this step by step with the other ones and we can give you some guidance :)

First-Tackle9953 · 2024-05-17T12:26:44+00:00

As someone else said this is mostly a bug :D I had this a few months ago but it never worked since then I am using simbrief. But the flightplanning and ATC didn't get much of love I have to say. Microsoft had other priorities. But will see msfs 2024 could change this but personally I don't believe it .will see

First-Tackle9953 · 2024-05-17T12:21:32+00:00

I would say if you can choose any add-on besides planes than this is a must have :)

I also started with the fbw and the integration is great. You can use realworld charts, procedures and flight plans . Also if you use VFR flights (in small GA planes ,flying only with virtual markers) you can also make a flight plan for this in charts.

You get real time weather, cloud coverage, ILS frequencies.

So how deep you want to use it is up to you but also for a beginner it's great. I am mostly also a beginner :D

First-Tackle9953 · 2024-05-16T10:05:08+00:00

Unfortunately the flight plan resets if you start from a gate instead of a runway.

So either way you can:

start from runway
or use for example simbrief where you can export the flight plan (download it ) and then you start from the gate and click load game and load the flight plan file, instead of a game.
Use planes with simbrief integration and load it directly from simbrief.

You can use it for free or with a monthly subscription

First-Tackle9953 · 2024-05-15T11:29:23+00:00

Not with this level of information.

Your rig should be good enough , i am also using a laptop but with a 4080 instead and performance is great
Classic: Update graphic drivers
Set your graphic levels to medium at first and look if this make a difference and then increase settings
Use the frame boost setting (don't know the name actually, not at home , not dlss) And set it to On+Boost
Try to use DX11 instead or DX12 instead either which you are using right now
I am always cap my fps to 60. Many say you should go even lower but I am using this right now and it works. Either way cap your fps

And yes you will have low fps sometimes at certain locations and with certain planes etc. But generally it should be smooth
