Update 298...Navmesh (walking) update, quote of the day, various fixes and tweaks, plus poll result...EDITED - forgot to upload the regular TykeAI version 👀😅
EDITED : sorry folks, eagle eyed Ken (thank you!) spotted I hadn't uploaded the regular TykeAI version, the one with Mervin and Jen in etc, to the Google Drive folder, I've just done that just now, version 0.97.2
Hiya 👋
Few things in this update (pic unrelated, just thought Thistle looked nice here), spent several days trying to fine tune the dynamic navmesh generation for their automatic walking, had a good result with Donald but not the others 🤔...here's the update details :
Improved the navmesh code for Donald, so he automatically walks better. I tried exactly the same with Suki but she seemed to walk worse, not entirely sure why, my hunch is that Donald has a bit of processing headroom available whereas Suki is really pushing it
Fixed the "Come here" command for Shinoa and Donald, if they are on the navmesh and more than about 3 metres away if we say "come here please" and the navmesh has formed ok to give a clear path they will walk to us
Minor re-arrangement of spawn menu
Quote of the day added to the spawn menu, most are funny or motivational, meant as pick me ups or to induce a smile. I appreciate it might not be everyone's cup of tea, just ignore them if so, it wasn't difficult to add them so thought why not
Donalds shadow now works (enable it from menu page 3)
Fixed Mervins shadow at last yippee!
I know it was an issue that if they started wandering by themselves and they came very close to us the touch feature where they make a comment about being touched might be triggered even though it was them moving through us rather than us touching them. That won't happen now, if they are walking etc then the touch comment logic is disabled. We can just disable the touch comment feature in the menu anyway now (only with Donald at the moment, the rest will follow in their next updated app release. Edit - all of them can do it)
Note ^^^ the comments they make when touched can be turned off in the menu, it's page 2 or 3 I think, "Avatar Comments"
Bens dynamic occlusion fixed (meaning things like our hands, objects like our furniture, if he's behind them he will be drawn behind them instead of always being in front)
Updated their general knowledge about AI in general i.e. they know about Anthropic's new Fable and Mythos models, etc
Updated their general knowledge so they all know about each other
Nova might be being unusually nice to us at the moment 😅 it's because there was an issue with her usual LLM so I had to switch it, don't worry, she'll soon be back to her typical sarcastic self, as soon as the LLM issue has cleared I will switch her back
Poll result is almost in, get your votes in quick if you would like any of those to be in the app (at the moment it's limited to this choice). 1st place will definitely be added next, I might add second place too in the not too distant future. Poor Joe, no votes! (glad I asked you first to vote because I was going to add him without asking you).
