✨AIDRA Features✨

• Database Management through prompts: 

Manage your database through prompts. Manipulate multiple objects at once enabling you to design your game faster.

• AI-Assisted balancing:

Through fine tuned prompts, you can instruct AIDRA to make changes to your skills, items, weapons, armors, and enemies, in a strategic manner, allowing you to make game balancing changes easier. 

• Quick AI commands:

Can't think of the exact words for what an NPC should say? Simply type:  '//DIALOGUE: describe the scenario' and AIDRA will replace your clipboard text with a dialogue for you.

• Advanced search filters: 

RMMZ/RMMV allows for event searching through event name / note, switches, and variables only. AIDRA adds additional search parameters such as 'Show Text', 'Show Picture', 'Common Event', 'Label', and 'Comment'.   

• Grammar Checker: 

Retrieves all text in all 'Show Text' and 'Show Scrolling Text' commands in your game and checks for grammatical errors. With a click of a button, you can commit the suggested text changes by AIDRA without having to go and change it manually yourself.

NOTE: Some features of this tool relies on OpenAI's API to function, and you will need API credits, which will incur additional costs on top of the one-time payment for this tool. You can refer to their website for pricing, but a $5 credit should suffice for a full game or two. You can check your credit balance from this page.

✨How to use✨

- Add your Open AI key in the 'Settings'. How to get OpenAI API Key?

- Make sure your Open AI account has enough credits to make API calls.

- As of v.1.0, the database modules currently supported are: Skills, Items, Weapons, Armors, & Enemies.

- Manipulation of database through prompts is only compatible with RPG Maker MV and MZ. 

- Quick actions commands are used by appending //KEYWORD: at the beginning of a text and triggering the copy command (CTRL + C). A sound will play indicating that the action has been registered, and another sound will play indicating when the response is ready. The response will be copied to your clipboard, so simply trigger the paste command (CTRL + V) to see the response from AIDRA. 

The action commands available are: 

• //NAME: Name for something or for someone (ie. '//NAME: of a fire weapon')
• //DESC: Description of something (ie. '//DESC: a weapon named firebringer')
• //DIALOGUE: Describe the intended dialogue or describe the scenario (ie. '//DIALOGUE: captain knight slams the table and reprimands the player for disobeying his orders')
• //CODE: code for something (ie. '//CODE: number of events in the map')
• //FORMULA: damage formula (ie. '//FORMULA: value of variable 8 + 120')

- Quick action commands can be used anywhere as long as AIDRA is running. 

Why not just use ChatGPT?

- ChatGPT's model is trained to become a general assistant, as opposed to AIDRA's model which is fine tuned for the RPGM engine. Marginally less errors resulting to cheaper cost than GPT4. As AIDRA's model is further trained, the faster it'll become to use as well.

- ChatGPT has no access to the files in your system and cannot read your project's state to base its responses from, nor can it write changes to your project's folder if you instruct it to do so. 

- With ChatGPT, you'll have to keep switching tabs back and forth to copy paste things thereby interrupting your workflow and focus. Quick action commands fixes this problem. Need a name for a weapon? Simply type '//NAME: of a weapon', copy the whole thing (CTRL+C), and the AI's response will be made available in your clipboard and all you have to do is trigger the paste command (CTRL+V).

- Take the grammar checker for example: Imagine having to go through 100s of maps just to copy the text on each, and paste it on chat gpt to check for grammar errors? AIDRA automates that for you. You can commit the suggested changes by the AI as well with the click of a button.

- In short- convenience.
