Test If It Works
1. Travel to another region in DFU.
2. Find a Tavern, rent a room, and sleep for 7 hours.
3. Check for a journal entry message to pop up when you wake up.
4. After a short time Listen for the notebook writing sound. The AI has completed the request.
5. Check your notes – your AI-generated journal entry should be there!
Enjoy your immersive AI-powered journal!
Customize AI Prompts (Optional)
You may have already seen the pre-prompt in the ai-settings.txt file (found here
"C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Daggerfall Workshop\Daggerfall
Unity\Mods\EditorData\bb531540-55de-47a4-a398-7310c8948b80\Data"
or by double clicking the path in the DFU Starter)
This is the pre-prompt that gets used, when you select the Neutral Journal Style in the mod settings.
You can alter it the way you like it. The actual journey text gets added to this prompt and sent to the AI Server.
Keep in mind, that the whole prompt MUST BE in one line!
