Modding Help Altering "S.A.I.L." text in ai.config

For my mod, the S.A.I.L. that I chose would not be considered artificial intelligence, and so in keeping with the lore I wanted to replace the title and subtitle so that instead of referring to the AI as "S.A.I.L." "Ship-based Artificial Intelligence Lattice," in the AI's window (attached image), it would state something of my choosing. Is this possible to do so for a specific race? I wasn't sure if the command "op":"add"(or "replace),"path": would do the trick or not. Any tips are greatly appreciated!

 

You are going to want to edit 'interface/ai/ai.config'

Should be self explanatory once you look at that file.

 

@Whale Cancer I don't think you read the whole question, guy.

TC: No, sorry, you can't make it race-specific. What you see is what you get. It is just one name for every race.
You'd think the Devs would make it race-specific since it is just text, like they make several other parts of the text, but it seems they are a bit inconsistent about these things.

 

I guess you couldn't have multiple aiconfigs (e.g. aiapex.config) that are called by different iterations of the ai computer object, then?

 

You know, I hadn't even thought of checking that. I simply assumed it was all hard-coded into the game.

So I did check on this. There are indeed race-specific "techstation" objects. However, they all call the 'AI interface' and like all other interfaces almost all of the scripting and such is hard-coded into the game.
So that was a good idea - but no, I looked and you can't do that either.

Edit: Unless there is some interface work-around I don't know about?

 

lol Yes, it seems minuscule, but the S.A.I.L. I developed for my Viera mod is of their spiritual mother and guardian known as "The Wood" to the Viera of Final Fantasy lore. The S.A.I.L. serves as a guide post for the player, so I knew my choice was befitting for the race, as though part of The Wood's essence were implanted into the ship. So that's why I would prefer her to not be referred to as an artificial intelligence in the window for this species, but it may be something I have to live with, and that's ok Thanks for all the info, guys!

 

You caught me. My ulterior motive is to learn things. I feel guilty now.
