An update should be coming any time. The dev said it would happen sometime after the image-gen was updated, which was a month or two later than expected, so the schedule is just running behind a little.
In the meantime, bear in mind that for character information, Perchance only has about 1800k context allotted. Sounds like a lot but it breaks down quickly with multiple characters or 2,000 word descriptions. The entire context is only about 6k, and that has to fit character descriptions, reminders, summary, lore, and memories, and previous messages. It's not much at all, tbh.
I've switched to using SillyTavern at least until Perchance's model is upgraded, then I'll take another look and see if I want to continue using it.
Can we just have some moderation tools period? Like trusted users to be given mod position in official chatrooms since the Dev is unwilling or unable to moderate them? AI-Character-Chat in particular has been taken over by bigots and right-wing trolls, and no amount of reporting or blocking does anything.
If you're using AI-Chat, you should be able to scroll down to the bottom of the screen and below "save chat, load, share", there'll be a button that says "Copy Chat Logs Without Summaries". This will copy your chat in plain-text into your clipboard, and you can then paste it into a blank text file to save it.
Right now there's no way I know of to get imported characters to auto-reply. The only way for now is to use their shortcuts. You have to manually trigger them when it's appropriate for them to speak. However, they should behave as you expect, otherwise.
If you're still having a problem importing files, is there a chance you could DM a non-working file to the Dev? I think they believe this issue is resolved.
The problem seems to be in a thread somewhere. I can export characters (no chats) and import that fine. I can import both pre-mem and post-update threads individually.
But when trying to export all characters + chats, something is breaking in the import. Could be one specific thread of mine ruining the batch?
It's already been noticed by people in chat, thanks so much!
Also, unless I'm going crazy and it's always been this way, thanks for setting it up so characters can read each other's char sheets, if that's something you did. If it's always been that way then I'm just not as observant as I think, XD.
Thanks for the update. I'll do as you suggest and wait for your next message, but I'm happy to run a long thread and check things periodically. Will make sure it's something I don't mind passing along if need be. Would it be alright if I shared the link with a couple extra people in the perchance discord? Get a few more eyes and hands bug-testing?
I kind of rely on it not disappearing automatically. I don't think that user knows that you can also clear the box by clicking on any character shortcut. Or, you know, ctrl-A then backspace, lol.
(The reason I like it staying is in case the AI response isn't quite what I wanted, I can delete the message, edit my instructions without retyping the whole thing, and try another generation.)
(Edit: Just saw that you suggested an option. That's good too, lol)
Also, possibly any way to add custom shortcuts through the Custom Code? So that we could ‘bake in’ the shortcuts to the characters instead of on the threads. Just a thought.
Yes, any way of calling imported characters without it being a physical user command would be a godsend. Would allow for more intricate automation, maybe even having characters trigger automatically if their names come up.
So, first, it works brilliantly, thanks! One quirk, the keywords don't seem to like spaces, which is weird. In the code I posted I was able to use "living room" as a keyword, but in your code it wouldn't trigger until I shortened it to "living". Any idea why that might be? Still very usable, I just thought it was a bit odd. (I did remove the if (message.author line and the expectsReply line.)
You can still find stocks that pay dividends. 3-month treasury dealios pay out regularly, and something like MORT (A REIT ETF) has like 11% dividend rate. Companies like Microsoft and Amazon also pay dividends, but small, like 3-5%.
If you've ever dealt with addiction or know someone who has, it's not obvious. People will go to great lengths to convince themselves they don't have a problem.

Honestly I was just venting a little since the topic was relevant. I'm not even sure the "Dev" here is the same one that made the comments plugin?
And I doubt they care much since they don't even have an admin password set up in the first place, lol.

Is that what you were trying to do?

Sure, I would be happy to help test when it's ready. Thanks for working on it!

*I'm assuming it must be extremely tedious or something for the dev to put it off this long, lol. He's been saying "a few days" for a few weeks. :p *
(No shade, Dev is awesome. Bug response is top-notch)
Yeah...almost like that's the problem. XD
Got it, thanks! :D

Edit: And I like your VN! :)
Oooh, thank you! And thank you for commenting everything, super helpful!

Eyyy, thanks for sharing this. (I'm the one that asked, lol.) Super helpful when it's needed.
