Sometimes, Don't Starve Together can come up with new items, and so new strings on the character's speech files are created. And because of that, it's possible that the speech files I created may be outdated from time to time. And when I try to manually input those strings into my mod's speech file, the speech file becomes broken and defaults back to Wilson's. So, I'd like to know if there's a way I can catch those new strings and insert them into my speech file without breaking it! If it is possible.

Ever since don't starve hamlet came out, I noticed the speech files aren't where they used to be, where were they moved to?

" style="border:none;width:100%"> My goal right now is to create a random generated speech within companions to make them feel more alive and to kinda make me not feel alone . but ly it keeps on registering it as not a string. i know that i added it to the modmain yet it still doesn't show up. please if you can help me that would be awsome, i'll poste the code for the follower and the string

This is my first try at modding all I want is to make a mod that takes a existing character but gives him new speech lines when the mod is active also the character only has no speech file. What do I do.
