Update Entry [Advanced Feature]

Update dialog

The Update Entry dialog is where you can update an existing Entry using AI.

NOTE

To update an Entry manually, just edit it on the Entry description tab.

Fields

There are several fields you can (optionally) fill in:

  • Name - The name of the Entry. This is required to complete the Entry, but you can leave it blank, and it will be generated for you along with the description.
  • Type - The Type of Entry. This text box works the same as the Type field on Entries with respect to autocomplete and adding new Types.
  • Parent (Location, Organization only) - The parent of the Entry. This is optional. Typing in the box will search for matching Locations/Organizations.
  • Description - The description of the Entry. This is optional, but highly recommended if you plan to generate an image or description (Advanced Feature). The description can be a very brief description or just a list of characteristics. Any information contained in the description will be included in the generated version (if it fits).

These will all populate from any existing information on the Entry. Name, species, and description can all be generated if you leave them blank (or make them blank if they were pulled from the Entry). Type won't be generated.

Once you fill the information in the fields, hit "Generate" and the AI will create a name, species, and description (depending on what you filled in). You can hit "Generate" as many times as you want, if you don't like the results. Note that if you want to regenerate the name or species, you'll have the clear those values before rerunning.

When you have what you want, hit "Use" and the resulting values will be updated on the Entry.

Options

There are 2-3 options below the description field:

Generate long descriptions

When checked, the description generated will be two full paragraphs with lots of details:

Example long description

When off, it will simply create a quick description useful for role-playing the character, including a brief description of their personality and appearance, and some suggested role-playing approaches:

Example short description

The default value for this checkbox can be managed in the Module Settings.

Generate image

When checked, after you finalize and hit "Use", the AI will generate an image for the entry.

Add to Current Session

This option is only available if you are in Play Mode, and only for Characters or Locations. When checked, this Entry will be added to the Current Session after you hit "Use". Characters are added as NPCs, while Locations are added as Locations. The default value of this checkbox is controlled by the "Default 'Add to current session'" Module Setting.
