You know when you have your ukagaka/ghost, and you want to be able to see their dialogue, but you don’t want to find new dialogue ever 5 minutes (b/c you’re busy or watching a video, etc.)? Though you also don’t want to select “Don’t speak” because you want them to speak, but you just don’t want them to speak so frequently.
I’m sure a ton of people already do this if they’ve tried to change the files for their ukagakas before, but I’ll just post this here since I’m not sure if others have and this would’ve been really useful back when I was super into ukagakas.
First, you might want to get Notepad++ so it’ll be easier to read the code, though you can still just have the regular notepad/whatever you use for these files.
(Get Notepad++ here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/)
First, you’ll need to get into the files of whatever ukagaka you want to change.
When searching for your ukagaka, you might have multiple of the same ones if you’ve downloaded multiple. Just look for the one that’s the newest.
Now, go into the ghost file, go through the master file, and find the menu file. Your ukagaka most likely doesn’t have the exact same order of files or all the files this one(cheery bot) does, so just try to find the file that has “menu” in the filename.
Once you open the file, you’ll either be greeted to this (Notepad++)
Or this (Regular Notepad)
(note that the code will most likely look different on whatever ukagaka you’re using, it’s just that the text will look somewhat like this.)
Now, scroll down until you find something like this
You can arrange this however you’d like, but I’d suggest making a few new options under the “TALKPOOR” line. Like this:
This isn’t all, though. That was just giving names for these longer periods of time. (You can change the time to whatever you’d like) Now what you need to do is scroll down a little bit more. You should be starting to see text like this:
So, under the Select.TALKPOOR exchange, you should make something in the same format as the examples/usages.
(edit: I made a mistake in the TALKPOOREST option at the response, though, unless you are doing this on cheery bot, you won’t have to pay attention to it.)
The “aitalkinterval” value can be determined by the other numbers. For example, the TALKMAX talktime was 30 seconds, making the aitalkinterval 45. You could use this to find out that something with a talktime of 2 minutes would have an aitalkinterval of 180. (Correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t know much about this.)
Now scroll a little bit further
Be sure to save before closing your Notepad. If you already have your ukagaka open, you should reload your ghost.
If you don’t have your ghost open, you can just open it right now and your ghost should be up-to-date.
There you go! You can always undo this by deleting the edits you made to the files.
