Thanks! I learned a lot by this. I just started with AI Dungeon yesterday and first thing I did was start my own Star Trek scenario with myself as captain lol and the result is awesome. AI Dungeon is amazing!

[@gamehovel]

That's awesome!

Reminds me of that one Black Mirror episode

[@AnthonyBruno0]

Cool Idea... now I'm definitely gonna try that

As a note, it's confirmed from the developers on Discord that having spaces in the triggers affects what the AI sees. According to them, "sam" ", sam" and ", sam ," create three completely different things for the AI to look at. They instruct not to use spaces at all unless you specifically want the AI to look for a space in front of the text. To keep using "sam" like you do in the video, "sam" can trigger other words, like "flotsam" since sam is in there. If you do " sam" instead, only words that either start with "sam" or the name "sam" will be found. " sam " like that will only trigger if the AI finds just the word "sam" with no letters to either side of it.

This was very helpful. Thank you!!! (3:24) A token is any word, number, or in this case variable declaration with the squiggly lines. Think of it as anything between two spaces in a sentence. So one way to reduce token count is to use hyphens, as you are combining two tokens into one. Another is to remove all of the adjectives unless absolutely necessary. Lists reduce overall token count. You can "inside the kit: binoculars, fountain-pen, and mom's sandwich" instead of "The kit contains one delicious sandwich that was made by your genius-level mother, a pair of binoculars, and the very expensive pen you got during graduation." to save space.

[@gamehovel]

That is a great description of tokens, I never though of using hyphens to combine words like that. Thanks!

Good video man, thanks a lot! Just got into this myself and your video helped me the most. I made a scenario where I am a shop owner looking to hire a couple of people for different times a day throughout the week. Interviewing people the AI has created has been a blast.

[@gamehovel]

I'm glad the video helped! That sounds like a neat idea for a scenario. AIDungeon can do so much more than just... well dungeons :-)

[@FearyBabydoll]

I was so confused creating these things thank you so much for the help! 🌺

[@ceeinfiniti1389]

Good descriptive tutorial, thanks!

[@peterscustoms3900]

Good man, just came back to your channel, thanks for doing more, I really could watch you do this AI Dungeon in a series if you so wish to do it. *^Whispers^* Make more fantasy adventures. :)

[@peterjones3757]

Thats great you made another one, Just what I needed, If your doing a series i'll watch them all. more sticky jello spells or funnier ones lol.

[@FermiToll]

Wow! awesome video, this may be deeper than i thought, thanks for the time man.

[@alext-rex2145]

Really cool man, this has helped me a lot! Can you make a tutorial on the basics of ai dungeon scripting?

[@Differently0925]

Can you use the ${} command while using the character creator thing?

[@ChandlerHMorse]

What's the difference between the story generators Mythomax, Tiefighter and Mixtral. What are they best used for?

[@gamehovel]

Mixtral is medium at everything. Mythomax is very good at conversations, character interactions, that sort of thing. Tiefighter is sometimes very creative and comes up with cool output, but in my opinion sometimes it gets weird. But different people like different ones so really the best advice I can give is to try them all out and see what you like best. You can switch between them mid game so you can see how one responds, then erase that response and change Storyteller and hit continue and see how they compare.

[@ChandlerHMorse]

Ok, thank you.

[@Userato]

if i create scenario how can make the user choose from one of the story cards instead of creat a new character?

[@gamehovel]

When you first click Create Scenario there's a little gear icon in the top right of the Opening: Story window, that gear icon brings up the option to do a Simple (the default) or a Multiple Choice or Character Creator style opening. I didn't cover Multiple Choice and Character Creator in my video, but maybe I should.

[@malexthegreat]

ironically the images aren't working for me on my desktop

[@IrisGemini4958]

I have a problem, When i created the scenario and i testing it, then it doesn’t allow you to create a character and immediately transfers you to the chat.

[@gamehovel]

It doesn't have a character creator by default. You can use the ${character.name} and ${whatever else} in your opening as an easy way to let people define things. Or if you click the gear icon from that Opening: Story window you can choose Character Creator and set that up.

[@TyranntX]

That filter is very distracting
