Anyone got it working? Using Windows
So I tried for the past 2 days to mod cyberpunk, but am hitting walls at every step.
I downloaded Bazelisk, bazel 7.1.1(latest version) had issues with grpc, errors about apple protos. Read that grpc hasn’t updated their apple protos. Issues with bzlmod, read that bazel 6.3+ no longer use workspace. So I used bazel 6.2.1, fixed previous issues, but now I get a diff error: Visual C++ build tools seems to be installed at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC
But Bazel can’t find the following tools:
VCVARSALL.BAT, cl.exe, link.exe, lib.exe, ml64.exe
for x64 target architecture
I have all the Visual C++ build tools I could find. Created a user variable path to VC, Used VS Codes 2019, VS 2022, same issue.
I can’t get past this step:
bazel build --cxxopt=‘-std=c++14’ :main
I found a similar issue on stack overflow, maybe one of the solutions might work
<@1023671043287699568> do you know who made the convai cpp sdk?
Embedded Content: Why Bazel does not find Visual C++ Build Tools?
I`m working myself through a Tensorflow installation session (each one is a unique experience) and I’m trying to understand what is going wrong with the Bazel build tool.
Yeah I saw that as well and tried changing the directory with same issue, but changing bazel version did fix that issue, although now I am facing a brand new issue
PS C:\Bazel\convai-sdk-cpp> bazel --version
bazel 5.2.0
PS C:\Bazel\convai-sdk-cpp> bazel build --cxxopt=‘-std=c++14’ :main
Starting local Bazel server and connecting to it…

I did notice in the mod channel you had the main.exe file for hogwart which I’ll try when I get the chance, but do you happen to have the file for cyberpunk too? It would of been a good idea to post them along with the tutorials to try them instantly and then understand how to do it
But It seems the convai cpp sdk is outdated and it’s really tough to get this to work without knowing the exact bazel version needed and other specific variables since everything is constantly updating and breaking each other

the mod should work with the latest game version, can you send a link to the vr mod I’ll check the files
So I got the plug n play version to work, thank you! But there are a few things that seem wrong.
*only one random voice named Max Cypher responds to me every time saying the same thing for males, and one for Females. It writes their actual names and words tho, actions seem to work too
*When I press the mic button, it only let’s me speak 1 word usually and sometimes 5 words if lucky, or none at all. And sometimes not very accurate to what I actually say

When you speak to the main characters like Johnny or Jackie do you hear a different voice?
Reply by youngmoneyfuture | 2024-04-10 02:59:36
I’ve never played Cyberpunk before So I’m in the beginning. I spoke with my boss in corpo rat route, I believe it was in the generic voice but imitated him via text, none of the characters so far show physical reactions to speaking to me or any lipsync at all. Just a random “ghost voice”
Same exact thing with Hogwarts, except I’ve only spoken to the teacher so far. I’ve noticed that both mods act almost like chatGPT assistants from the app except with a game themed voice.
I found convai after learning about AI NPCs from Mantella Skyrim VR so I understand the whole LLM, prompt, Char. Bios, etc. concept
I found a “get_response_config_example.txt” in the convai folder, but where is the actual prompt so I can tweak it? Also how many NPCs are actually interactive? I understand Cyberpunk has immense amounts of NPCs and most if not all can trigger actions, but many don’t have their own voice, lipsync, or bios, just generic classes

Oh okay thanks, cyberpunk mod does not include lipsync. the Hogwarts legacy mod has lipsync because it’s using unreal engine. I only made a personality for a few important characters, you can find the list at the end in phoenix/binaries/win64/mods/convaimod/scripts/main.lua file for hogwarts and bin/x64/plugins/cyber engine tweaks/mods/convaimod/init.lua for cyberpunk
You can find the method for creating personality for other characters in the description section of the mod page and the tutorial videos in video section

OK, I think we are near the end of this journey and I really appreciate all your help! I just have a few last questions and then I think I’ll fully understand how convai works.
*The main issue I am having is most of the time when I press the mic key it either let’s me get only one word in or skips me and saids their line, how can I fix this? How can I change how long the mic listens?
In General, can “Player” be replaced with “username” or for example “YoungMoneyFuture” in the “get_response_vonfig_example.txt” or init.lua or do i need to change both?
*Also I believe the same area is where the main prompt would be, If I change the “bio” under name = “Player” in the “get_response_config_example.txt” will it update init.lua or need to copy/paste? This prompt will change how the LLM responds right?
