Less Goofy S.A.I.L. Dialogue

Description


Completely rewrites all of S.A.I.L.'s Dialogue, in order to make it feel less silly and goofy. Contains built-in support for numerous other mods.

So, I'll admit upfront that I've never found S.A.I.L. all that interesting or funny. Their entire character is written to be comedic relief - something I feel didn't hit the mark - by constantly giving sarcastic, witty, or even downright useless remarks. But, with so much focus placed on lightening the mood, the entire character suffers as it fails to be the one thing it's supposed to be: an AI Companion.

Overall, this mod changes S.A.I.L. to fit into a specific style. Less attempts at humor, less funny haha ecks dee dialogue, less witty and wise remarks. More seriousness, more slightly-robotic word choices, a more logical approach to answers and responses. S.A.I.L. feels less like some random stranger who keeps making bad jokes at the wrong moments, and more like an actual AI companion. I'm proud of what I've managed to do, and I hope you enjoy.

  • Najja for telling me not to make this mod, thus encouraging me to make it more.

  • All of you awesome, amazing, wonderful people reading this. Even if you don't use my mod, thank you for taking the time to look at it.

you are completely correct, i missed that entirely when i was patching the techstations. i'll go ahead and push an update to fix that right now. still need to go through and add support for more modded techstations.

@AnomNom When you were replacing the Sail boot up dialogue, you forgot to make sure the "/ai/portraits/" lines used the correct portraits. That might be why Tadpole had that issue with all the racial sails turning into the Apex one when using a Starbound beta Sail replacers mod, since in your techstation patches, the boot up dialogue lines point towards the Apex sail portraits for all the racial sails. Though when taking a small peek at some of the other files here, I didn't see a similar mistake, so this bug should only affect the first Sail interaction in the entire game, then be normal afterwards. In my tests it seemed to only affect that specific interaction.

Also, this should be a bug for vanilla Sail users too, since as you mentioned earlier in this comment section, most of those beta Sail replacer mods are just replaced image files

A.V.I.A.N. is this mod's mortal enemy. the quirkiest of quirky. the embodiment of pure evil.

The problem with that idea is that there are several ways in which radio messages are triggered, either through config files, cinematic files, scripts, and several other places. Because of this, you'd pretty much have to hunt down every single trigger, remove it, and hope that it doesn't conflict with something; you can't remove radio messages at the source and expect it to work, because then the game calls a non-existent radio message, and throws and error. It isn't a game crashing error, at the very least, but it's incredibly messy and annoying.

here's a saying to S.A.I.L, STFU S.A.I.L

That's... really weird, then :/ I guess there is some third mod or something that makes them not play nice for some reason.
