Configuration Explanation
API Setup
Configure either OpenAI/Gemini API or a local Ollama API. Set your API key, model type, and model name (e.g., gpt-4.1-mini).
Chat Behavior
Customize activation keywords, system prompt, character name, and response formatting. Adjust conversation memory size to control how many past interactions the AI remembers.
Server Information
Add custom server details that the AI can reference when answering player questions about your server.
Response Modes
Choose between censored and uncensored modes to match your server's tone. Uncensored mode allows the AI to better match Rust's raw gaming environment.
Cooldown System
Set separate cooldowns for individual users and global usage to prevent spam while allowing conversations to flow naturally.
