>>43267919
Are there any browser based AI stuff that are good and free? Used to try Character AI a few years ago, but I see it's shit now and I really don't want to go through the hassle of setting everything up for Silly Tavern.

>>43268048
Because GLM can be JB'd with a simple prompt, I've been using the z.ai website and not even bothering with API. You don't even need to sign up if you don't mind the auth token expiring every 24 hours and wiping your chat. Won't work with the VN, but it's free and unlimited.

>>43268095
>Won't work with the VN
Should work with this if you want to bother.
https://github.com/LyubomirT/intense-rp-next

>>43268095
z.ai doesn't have characters. It's just a normal chatbot. I just want to do rp with pony bots, ideally for fetish stuff

>>43268048
Nope.

>>43268108
Yeah, I dunno what they were thinking with that.
>needs to login to z.ai to be usable
>having a login gives you access to the free API, which eliminates the need for this program
If it worked without a login it would actually be useful, but as it is I don't understand the point of using this over ST.

>>43267622
>Most AI has extreme issues with understanding that only one character knows something. You can have a character say something in the middle of nowhere with no one around, and every character will know what they said. Secrets and mysteries are something LLMs have problems with.
With opus 4.6 it just works. I assume because of the good context recall. After 100k context length it starts being a bit wonky, but it's a good reminder to summarize. I hope the new versions return to the context awareness of 4.6
Also if you use <!-- hiddentext --> html tags you can have it hide things from you the reader. Doesn't work 100% of course, but good enough.

There's some noise about an LLM solving a hard math problem, but that's autistic.
AGI will be ready once it has good taste in RP.

impressive range though

Is it better to have your summary as the first message of your context or having a lore book about it? (Both methods would be hiding the summarized messages)

>>43268248
What model?

The limitations of AI are really bumming me out. I keep coming up against all the things it just can't do yet.
When will AI be good?

>>43268545
Potentially never, but it's also possible that brand new techniques will come around and make the current limitations a thing of the past. It's likely we're not going to say any huge progress for at least a few years though.

>>43268367
But that would just take away attention from where the scene is currently at. If your summary is 200 words fine, but anything big inserted that low will just have bad consequences.

>>43268552
I don't really agree with you on that
Ai has improved tremendously in the last few years, and while there's a lot of doom posting about it and yes progress has been overall getting slower, there is progress made

I guess it goes down to what you define as huge progress, but I'm sure small things being invented can have a huge ripple effect and wind up having a tremendous impact

Personally my only concern is that the good stuff will end up so expensive nobody outside companies would realistically pay for it

Like if Claude 5.1 will be $100/m tokens

>>43268582
The big thing is that we've been in a massive funding wave and the moment investors get seriously gunshy you have to expect progress to slow to a crawl. I have no read on the economy anymore, that could happen several years from now or it could happen next week, but economic downturns historically always cause problems for Silicon Valley.

I thought maybe it be fixed if I slept on it but I'm still getting errors. Googling isn't helping but I'm getting 400 bad request errors with opus 4.7 from the chink openrouter which I keep fearing it's going to die.

Is there a reason the AI takes longer to output in the VN than on Silly? Using Deepseek if that matters

>>43268840
Significantly more input, were I to guess.

My bad. I'll swap out the Posey with the bad teeth in the next G5 pack update.
By the way I'm still planning on contributing to G4 content. I've been recently gathering images for new and improved Ponyville locations. I'm doing my best to go beyond the boorus by editing svgs, compositing ponies out of screenshots from the yayponies 4k upscale, and using AI to remove characters when needed. I'll try to get what I'm working on to a playable state soon.
>>43267954
For G4 contributions I want to approach it in a simple as possible way for VN Anon. I don't care about any kind of credit or jerking myself off with a mega pack mod. Anything I contribute should be seen as something you can take piecemeal, integrate to the base game in whole or part, modify in any way, or ignore entirely.
For now, here's a simple pack for some updated backgrounds anyone can install. Includes pic related, 2d CMC clubhouse, and a re-cropped picnic area (retaining full quality).

I did the same thing for a bunch of the backgrounds in the Nightmare AU. But if you're going full ponyville. I wish you good luck. Seriously.

>>43268048
Agnai (and Risu if it still exists?) are both browser based and you can both import characters into them and pretty easily find decent enough models to hook up to them for free.

>>43268866
Nice!

Okay is the 400 error something that is obvious and me asking for help just proves I'm too dumb to understand

>>43269111
400 error means the server rejected your request. It could be a number of things from context(unlikely) to a censorship rejection(probably more likely).

>>43269151
I was getting messages without issue then all of a sudden it started happening. Changing the keys did nothing am I shit out of luck then?

>>43269173
What're you using for your model/service/front end? You're not SOL you just have some debugging to do probably. Honestly if it just started happening out of the blue it could be the model is overloaded by requests from users right now and started rejecting them.

>>43269189
Using the Chinese openrouter for opus, 4.6 and 4.7 both are getting the same errors on Sillytavern for 12+ hours. I fear it's the Chinese openrouter because cheaper generation is too good of a thing to last.

If you're using 4.7, Claude itself is shitting itself apparently.
https://status.claude.com/

>>43269318
Since I'm waiting, what's the difference with the "-r" versions? I'm pretty sure it stands for reasoning but I'm not aware of what that means.
>>43269324
God damn it. You must believe me that I have been constantly checking if Claude was down before asking for help only for the most recent test to be right now. It wasn't working even when 4.7 wasn't down. To make myself not go insane, if it starts working right after 4.7 is back up then I'll believe Claude was down this entire time and just wasn't reported making me attempt to open what is essentially a locked door that has a "open" sign out front.

Well I was still having issues but there's two options for each model on the Chinese openrouter and the one with a Chinese character in brackets is working. I tested it before but Claude was probably down. I never had to use it before now but whatever. Times like this makes me miss all of the previous givers of tokens. So much headache is solved and hopefully one will show up again, ideally with a better way of not dying maybe.

Wonderful. Does that mean Fluttershy is cuter with this model or not? Does it make it harder to resist the sirens call of Rarrar ponut?

>>43270019
Some benchmemes can be sort of useful. For instance, Anthropic themselves found that Opus 4.7 was a regression in long context compared to 4.6, and it's observable in RP.
Otherwise, no, they are posted as a sort of ritual, but there is a reason we call them benchmemes.

File: Bias.png (937.0 KB)

>>43270002
>>43269932
IMO, it's a weird model.
As always, I do tests with a small preset or none at all to see the default model tendency.
First, and maybe most interesting for most anons, I did tests to see its bias against the user, and for now it seems to be less biased than other Opus models.
I have a scenario with Red Seven to try that and see if she gobbles my attempts or not. Most Claude models do, or will have her hesitate or tell me to "Try to convince her."
Here she tells me to fuck off on all swipes.
See picrel and also other outputs:
https://u.pone.rs/klzhwcnk.png
https://u.pone.rs/nozulpmv.png
Swipe variety seems meh, alright for a nu-Claude model, but worse than Deepseek or others of course.
Next, I did the same test I did here:
https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/43193626/#43206395
Aka: Can enough context change the typical LLM writing and make it write less AI-like?
https://u.pone.rs/ceejtzds.png
And some of her other outputs:
https://u.pone.rs/zlaoohya.png
https://u.pone.rs/djqepidl.png
https://u.pone.rs/pxolskqt.png
As someone who used Claude a lot, I can still see these are Claude outputs, but I would say it's better than the absolute ism-riddled output it can give you without context.
AI detector is more or less stumped by them, whereas it will always detect 100% on low-context outputs.
https://u.pone.rs/rgzibsnz.png
https://u.pone.rs/nuatiypf.png
So not that great, but not that bad; seems better than 4.7 for that, but a bit worse than 4.6 IMO.

Now, at the start of chats or at very low context, it seems quite sloppy.
Here are the AJ tests I often do, which is a very fresh chat with not many messages inside.
https://u.pone.rs/ateuynwu.png
https://u.pone.rs/idfymmna.png
https://u.pone.rs/fpoqrufj.png
I will let you decide, but for me:
Many isms, bad variety, LLM writing quite telling, 100% detection on all.
https://u.pone.rs/yiyfyopi.png
(Just for info, I don't take those detectors as gospel. It's just to add to my observations. And in those cases, if this one detects 100% on an output, you can be sure it's indeed really LLM-pilled.)
Seems at the same level as 4.7 or even worse for this specific case.
Seems to love metaphors and similes more than other Claudes, but could be placebo; need more tests.
One other thing I observed: for more comical scenarios, at low context, it does seem to really go for a "Reddit/Marvel" style of writing. That's often present in some recent models but even more so here. I really hope it was this specific scenario that triggered that and that it's not something general; need more tests.

I can do vanilla NSFW with a very basic preset, but results were a bit underwhelming. At least I wasn't filtered.
I'm reading on other generals that some anons are getting filtered with the same presets they used before, so YMMV. I don't do foalcon, so I can't judge on that.

Prefills are still dead. RIP.

>>43270407
Again, I'm just a single retard, so don't take this as gospel.
As a summary, I would say that the model could be somewhat worthwhile if they fixed the context issue they had with 4.7 and returned to 4.6 level or better.
Otherwise, no.

>>43269562
Can't use a proton email, trial only lasts around 6 messages. I love Claude but this source is one of the weakest ones.

AI is amazing, actually.
I know how you feel and I have felt that way before. But recently I've thought about our entire journey starting with CAI back in September 2022, or hell, even AI Dungeon before that. We've come a long way in less than 4 years. Don't let Capability Grief blind you to this.
It's great that I have models that can (not counting Gemini) portray my waifu in a surprisingly accurate manner so I can engage in all manner of antics with her.
It's great that I have tools that allow me to set up scenarios where me and my waifu happen to have complimentary kinks and have a fulfilling marriage. Or where she's evil and >I can fix her or make her worse.
It's great I can play scenarios from moments of the show, affect them and see the results.
It's great I can bring my fanon interpretations of background ponies, or some main characters, to life.
It's great I can play my underrated and underserved fetishes with AI mares
It's great I can run my autistic crossovers with cute mares.
It's great I can write down my 20,000 word worldbuilding project and see my setting and characters explored.
It's great I was able to make friends with people who are as interested on AI RP as I am.
It's great that I no longer have to search online for a tool to "do X online", and can have an AI agent code it for me in 5 minutes.
It's great that I can have an AI agent update a lot of abandonware for me while I focus on other things. Minecraft or Rimworld mod not updated since 2018? Not anymore.
It's great that I can be part of a community of people who enjoy AI mares like I do.
All of this, and it is almost guaranteed to get better in the future? Man do I love AI.

>>43268582
>Like if Claude 5.1 will be $100/m tokens
This will only be a temporary issue. I'd say Deepseek V4 is closer to Claude 3 than any other model. The chinks are actively making Claude accounts and running millions of conversations to steal Claude's outputs for training. If Claude 5.1 comes out I'd say a year or two later a Chinese equal will come out for a way cheaper price.

>>43270437

Didn't test it enough yet. On Silly, I often do summaries or new sessions, so I don't have anything that goes above 30-40K.
Doing tests on them wouldn't be that good or representative IMO.
I could merge some of them to see, but too lazy.
If you believe Anthropic, they fixed it, but RP tests would be better.

Now that I think about it, I do believe I have something that could serve as a test but in the VN. I will check.

>>43270448
>>43270455
I was at less context than I thought, so it won't be a good test either.
Only thing I can confirm is that they use the same tokenizer as 4.7, where it counts you more tokens than before.

Thank you anon!

>>43269932
I think I prefer 4.6 over it

Oh hell fucking yeah Anon, that's the kind of positivity I love. Huge agree, everything about this journey has been magical. I was one of the fucks who subscribed to AI Dungeon back when, too; not only that, I was obsessed with Google Deep Dreams years prior. This is one of my favorite hobbies and it's wonderful what it's become.

The tech is bound to only get better, too.

>>43270963
>it's mares fighting to be bouncing on my cock
>are just addicted to the user for some bullshit reason
This is probably the easiest thing to get with AI, here are some ways:
Add to your persona smell. A pleasant manly smell like smoked woods or whatever. Models are trained on female romanceslop and those stories love smells.
Add stuff to the world info that says mares love human cock. This is an entry I have used for years:
>Gender(Human male)=Traits: High stamina+large,smooth+thick virile cocks; cum=virile+thick; Taller>stallions; Foreplay-capable hands; Cock size~stallions(slightly<avg) but fully insertable(stallions=50% usable); Mares=Aroused; Predator aura arouses mares);
If you wanna play on the whole "human stamina and human cock make stallions inferior in bed":
>Gender(Male ponies/Stallions)=Inferior(humans>stallions): Bed+stamina+performance; Commonly cucked+jealous(humans). Cock=size>=human(½ usable only); Anatomy=limit balls-deep; Evolution=quick-ejaculation(not pleasure); Avg duration:30s.
And if you want to just go full human'd:
>Human'd=Pony mares=subjugated/dominated by human males. Corrupted(embrace human superiority/domination). Extreme devotion. Owned by virile human cocks: Hard fucked+marked(human hands over cutie marks/coat+mane as human flag). Symbol=interspecies domination(apex predator conquest+nation/species betrayal). Permanent state(Once Human'd=Always Human'd).

>>43271006
i didn't plan on making human'd, more like mares liking the user for example because of the smell as you mention or a spell, so that the user can choose whether to chat as an anonpony or a human with their selected persona
but now that you mention it, i don't think i've seen a card of your human'd description anywhere. i'll try looking at both of these and if all goes well, share here

>>43271056
That's because it's my first time sharing it. I never made a card or shared anything because I never saw any demand or request for it.

File: WIP_ponyville_map_20260528.png (1018.3 KB)

>>43267954
I have a question for VN anon about the Ponyville map "mod" I made. Today I did some more edits to create generalized hot spots like "Food & Drink" where multiple related locations can be merged now that it's supported in game. I also matched the font size and boldness almost identically with the current map.
Would you be interested in making this the default map in the core game once it's polished to yours and other anons' liking?
Like I mentioned in
>>43268866
I am working on gathering new and missing interior/exterior locations for Ponyville. I'm working off of this new map to wire everything up but if you're not interested in eventually moving to this new map, I can plan on making secondary .jsons that would work with the current Ponyville map.
If you or any other anons have any thoughts on this WIP map let me know, and I can make any requested changes.
>My own thinking
Cranky's house without a label in the bottom left is arbitrary but I do have interior and exterior images made for his house. I was thinking it combined with the fall colored leaves could be used used as a hotspot for running of the leaves locations (though I haven't planned any at the moment). If Cranky's house is an eyesore, I could remove it and just have a bigger fall tree hotspot.
Sweetie Belle's house is also arbitrary and unlabeled. I have Sweetie Belle's bedroom and the exterior of the house in progress.
Flower shop is arbitrary but is canonically left of SCC. It's a good filler location that could easily be replaced if something better comes up in the future.
Unsure about labels for Food & Drink, Residential, Goods & Services. Let me know if anyone has any other preferences for what to call them.
I'm not a fan of Horsepital over Hospital, personally.
The residential hotspot doesn't fit any locations the base game right now. I'm thinking the Ponyville streets location from the downloadable locations would be good to upgrade to a core location as the default for this spot. For my WIP locations, I'm going to link Scootaloo's bedroom and Vinyl/Octavia's house to this spot but those might be better off as downloadable locations.
Everfree forest is more of a placeholder. It would be nice to have custom art for it though I want to focus on getting actual locations done.
Ultimately the art style of the map is so simple that anyone should be able to take over in the future. I will release another full individual layer breakdown when I finish the locations I'm currently working on.

>>43270407

But anyway.
RGRE: Reverse Gender Role Equestria
Both lorebook and cards are on the Neocities.
AIE: Anon in Equestria
There is a card, but almost all cards can be AIE if you play as Anon.

I am the joke.

>>43270963
That's odd. In my experience, rather than the model leaning into pampering {{user}}, it always seemed to err the way of battered housewife (or househusband in this case) for RGRE.

>>43271379
That probably says your preset's better at getting ponies to express negative emotions than that anon's. Either that or it's a model difference.

No matter what lorebook or degenerate scenario I use, every single time without fail it evolves into a regular vanilla relationship with Pinkie Pie. I just can't stop loving this mare

>Would you be interested in making this the default map in the core game once it's polished to yours and other anons' liking?
I have no problem with that in theory. The only reason I had it as a mod is for anons who prefer the more minimalist map still, since that can be a lot of noise on screen. I myself play with the "mod."
Maybe make a poll once it's out to see what the preferred default is?
I could try to have an option in game to easily switch too, but I need to see since it will touch JSON and such.

Thanks a lot for your work, by the way.

>The only reason I had it as a mod is for anons who prefer the more minimalist map still
Based. I didn't want to be a fag and vocalize it, but I prefer the default map with just the hot air balloon added. The locations are well-spaced, and I feel like my eyes can move around it more naturally. The extra locations on the modded map are a cool idea, but they feel too cluttered to me.

>>43271379
it always plays some role, but i sometimes got into stories where the char tried taking care of me similarly to a child. it's decided on the start i guess

Honestly laying the groundwork for easily moddable and swappable maps and other things in game wouldn't be a bad thing. Options in-game for that thing integrates modding into the overall experience a lot more than dragging and dropping files and such.

File: new_map_proposal_wip_revision_1_20260529.png (2.0 MB)

>>43271431
I did another revision to be more thoughtful of what makes the original good. I don't think this will totally satisfy your own wants but I do want to make it look as clean as possible if it gets integrated in the main game.
I moved and resized a lot, then condensed away anything that wasn't a labeled location. I also tried to make the labels for the combined locations less soulless.
>>43271420
Yeah I don't think a toggle would be too hard. I can make sure the hotpot IDs are consistent between both the maps and include a classic_region.json when I upload something playable.
>>43267954
>Any anons playing the VN see pic related for a proposed new map
Let me know if anything looks off or should be revised. You can consider both the outskirts and the Everfree forest to just be clean placeholders that can be revised entirely in future updates.
>What is the point
As of VN anon's last game update, locations can now be combined into one map hotspot. This makes it more intuitive to play with many different locations and rooms without having to comb through the full off map location list. You also get a more complete simulation on screen as ponies go about their schedules. Clicking a hot spot lets you dig down and see the true location where the pony is. The flower shop and bowling alley are separate Hotspots to give breathing room and also act as good candidates for what to swap away when modding your own favorite locations in.
The paw print sign in the Quills, Sofas, and Friendships locations is the logo for Fauna's vet clinic which is a location I'm working on. It can be swapped out for something different if someone has a better idea for what represents a shops, services, and activities hotspot.

Yes though will be up to VN anon which ones he would want to include in the base game. See pic related for all of the locations I've gathered or edited. I have them all started in the proper folder structure but I need to review the display names and wire it up with the map. I'll upload a playable draft (no bgm yet) tonight or tomorrow of the new map and locations. The majority of it is supposed to fill out the existing locations.

Oh nice. I'll include it. Is that from skyros? I keep forgetting that skyros has a lot of stuff not on the boorus. Many of my odd locations are pulled from screenshots of the show. I plan on continuing to make locations beyond just what I did so far so I'll be sure to do a full lookthrough at some point.

hey guys how do i miss less on the deepseek cache thingy, i'm wasting a shitton of money because of that, 2 millions tokens wasted me about 2 dollars, any good extension for summarizing? i don't know if that's the problem, i have no idea how to do this. too confused.

>>43272040
Everfree & Outskirts should probably be swapped back to their original locations, since SAA (specifically the zap apple orchard) is adjacent to the Everfree, per Granny's flashback.

>>43272541
What model?

>>43272742
Deepseek v4

>>43272616
https://rentry.org/how2claude#summarization

does pony pony paradise do its own summarizing or do you have to somehow summarize everything yourself

>>43273081
Whatever AI you have plugged into the chat interface does it for you based on your Summary section of your prompt editor(has it's own structure by default).

You can then go in an edit anything the AI got wrong or that it didn't note down itself from the scenes.

A playable rough draft is now available for the new proposed Ponyville map and new locations. Note that I am not the Anon who actually develops the VN so consider this experimental and unofficial.

Warning that it can be laggy. I put an issue up regarding it on the Scrumboy. Make a copy of your entire ppp folder if you want to try it and keep some good copies of your old saves just in case.
There is no bgm or pony schedules for the new locations yet. This is purely if you want to give feedback or play with the map and backgrounds seen here.

It's for claude, but deepseek cache should work pretty similar. Test around with a very simple preset and card to get it working, then turn stuff back on again one by one until it stops working to find what breaks the cache

Do you guys have any recurring OC's you like to put into your stories? Whenever I want my characters to be mid-journey against something that isn't canon, I like to have them fight an 'Evil Baron'. Barons are so cool.

>>43273339
I have a bunch that have appeared in other stories that I place in new ones using lorebooks.
For example there's a squad of night guard mares who sexually harassed my colt once, liked them enough that they're now permanently part of the Canterlot garrison in all my relevant chats.
My long-ass vampire Cozy story has a whole cohort of lovable psychos who I bring in when I want to be a bad guy with minions slash daughterus.

>>43273339
Not a recurring OC, but I remember playing for fun a stallion that was basically Johnny Bravo.
The model made up a hulking Earth pony mare farmer called Sweet Pea.
Told me she was straight, which also excluded fancy unicorns.

Really cute.

sometimes it really does seem like the models have a better time working with background NPCs. like they feel more free to just go wild and do as they think fit.
its a weird feel. like when it writes about char it tries it best to follow a script. but then for npc it just does whatever, much more natural. though not always.
less restricted by the char defs. though maybe its just my presets that make the model act more bound.

>>43273948
Seems to be the case too if you do third-person stories, without making it too obvious that the player is one of them.

>>43273339
How do you guys go about writing long term stories and arcs for the VN, mechanically? Is it just heavy use of the scenario description going into scenes and summaries? For now I am just enjoying episode of the week style play, but I'd definitely like to get into some story running later.

>>43274522
in my case I gave the AI a mystery to solve in my persona's description, both to make it personal and to make sure that the AI can't truly ignore it. on occasion I'd also give a one to two sentence scenario description to drive the roleplay in a specific direction; something vague and mysterious yet eager for interpretation. what it gave me was the idea that I am the ancient protector of a lost Everfree Forest location that ponies kept forgetting because of the magical aura surrounding it, and that I had forgotten my nature in failing to purify it initially. very corny, but it lasted about four thousand lines and it left me with some fantastic ideas that I could chase in future sessions

in layman's terms, I'd say you could try go into an arc having an idea of the purpose, then give it a start and guide the AI along with some careful writing of your own. the AI can propose its' own ideas along the way and you can regenerate those moments of creative thinking if you don't like the specific outcome?

>>43273339

I'm sometimes confused on what prefill means. I'm getting censored and unable to get a proper message out of opus 4.7 but also 4.6 has the same issues but I thought only 4.7 took away prefill. Am I missing something here?

Prefill got removed with 4.6; only 4.5 and below have it.
For Opus, 4.6 shouldn't be that filtered, unless they changed it.

There is no real story, as I understand it. The user-directed AI generated nature is the appeal. I am new to running it so I could be missing something glaring, especially since there isn't any documentation, but this has been my experience.

Without mods you have the choice of:
>New Game
>Slow start amnesia isekai hook
>Go to sleep
>Wake up
>Meet the Mane 6
>Meet Luna
>Sandbox
Or
>Quick Start
>Onna train to Ponyville with a summons from Celestia to research friendship there
>Twilight greets you at the train
>Sandbox
And finally
>Custom start(Sandbox from the start, you set the opener)

Once you hit the sandbox, everything's up to you to direct. You can write a short or long scene synopsis. You get two scenes a day. The calendar has seasonal events on it. You select the locations and the characters that are there for the scene. This can be done manually or in "dynamic" mode, but functionally dynamic mode will just be the model sticking to your scenario synopsis for moving characters in and out of the scene or changing locations. That's about it.

GLM is up there just because of how insanely cheap it is for near-claude level quality. pay like $10 and you can abuse the thing all day every day. however i wish it was smarter logic-wise and if it didn't have such a positivity bias. it could also stand to be more creative in *some regards* - it's very creative/funny in other ways, though. kind of wish it had image vision too so that my bonzipony could use it... excited to see how much better GLM 5.2 or whatever is

Right now I'm mainly using GPT-5.4 on LinkAPI. Prior to that GLM-5 through OpenRouter was a nice sweet spot for me.

This is one of those cases where the fact that LLMs write the way they do can be an advantage. The scene's pretty open-ended and could've gone in all sorts of different directions but the moment rut gets slapped down due to your context presumably being horny as fuck it has to justify it by figuring out what's being rutted, and the fact that there's only one relevant object in the scene makes the choice inevitable.

>>43281958
I wish I could do adventure but the local models I can run just can't stretch that far. It might also have to do with my very meandering pace of not glossing over things as often as I probably could.
A single day can fill 100k of context and by that point all the model can remember is part of that day.

>>43282023
I'd definitely say that it's valuable to learn when to end a scene and move to the next, it's something I do a lot of. Though obviously I get wanting to just sit in a scene forever, that's a lot of fun too, but if you want to adventure you gotta be a bit of a director and know when to cut.

>>43282034
Yeah I definitely treat it too much like a player and not enough like a DM, focusing on things that don't end up really mattering for the overarcing story but that I'm curious about.

Anyone try this out?
https://perchance.org/best-ai-character-chat

>>43282096
It's posted from time to time.
They often change the text model and don't say what they use, but it's often a preexisting local one, so anons that use SillyTavern with online models will find both the interface and the model itself too limited, even when using cheaper models like DeepSeek.
I suppose local anons won't be interested either since it's online and allows less customization.
So it's more for anons that don't want to install SillyTavern or software at all and can be content with the model they use.
If I remember correctly, it does allow you to use normal cards and bots, so you can use it with the cards from the Ponydex.
So if you just want a quick solution to chat and don't mind the model being so-so, then it's not that bad of a service.

I also added a new hotspot called "Alley Oops" because we need a general hotspot for the seedy part of town. It works with the back alley and Madame Pinkie's tent. I labeled the lake Saddle Lake which is semi canon. I also rearranged the icons again to be a bit better canon-ish position.
I've been doing more original work for locations like pulling apart original vector files or adding better views like the exterior of Sweetie Belle's house. That will have a shore for the VN characters to stand on and serve as a default location for the Humble Abodes Hotspot.
For wiring up the music, I'm using the music property to link res://assets to existing core music for the same location, though I'll try to figure out something for ones that need original bgm.
This might help or hurt depending on your playstyle but I am spending a shitton of time writing full descriptions (or revising AI vision outputs) for the AI context description for every location. I found in my G5 playthrough, letting the AI know what existed in each room was amazing for immersion. I'm mostly done with the descriptions for my new locations but I'll move onto the base game locations next.
I'll also test an easily swappable json version of the original map with some of new rooms and locations mapped to the original hotspots.
Let me know if you want me to make any changes before I finish this more polished version of the first 'contribution' pack which I should be uploading Friday night.

Heh...

Do I have an outdated version of ST or did it just never get an update to access GLM and Xialong from NAI?

Thinking about writing another card. Anyone have advice on structure and syntax?

Well-optimised too, if you believe them.
I know we have some local anons and that one of them was using the 4B version, so this one could be worth a try.

File: wip what to add to base game_v2.png (1.8 MB)

>>43267954
>>43282298
Asking this this to VN Anon now rather than trying to coordinate how to modify the .jsons later. I should still be on track to have a more polished version of the new locations with descriptions/bgm tomorrow night. What locations would you want to add to the base game? Marked in green is what I propose could be added with very little downside other than download size bloat. These are suggestions so feel free to veto any/all. Marked in red are ones that likely need more discussion.
Basic Idea: I will wire up the proposed new map with both base game and new locations coded into region.json (as well as backporting ones that make sense to the original map with its own region.json). I will wire up any locations NOT going to the base game with their location.json using the new hotspot property so that they can be downloadable locations instead.
All existing default locations will stay default so that existing schedules still work as expected when clicking hotspots.
> Madame Pinkie
I like these and think they'd be okay for the base game, though the exterior angle isn't great in game. The main caveat is that there's a slight chance "Madame Pinkie" existing in AI context could slip into Pinkie's depiction by the AI.
>Scootaloo Bedroom
This depends on if people roleplay with Scootaloo as homeless enough for a bedroom in AI context to matter.
>Vinyl/Octavia's House
Depends on people's opinion on Slice of Life and Octavia/Scratch living together affecting context.
>lake_swimming_view
This doesn't look good in game. Better if I remove this and rethink it later.
Current DLC From other Anons
>Apple Bloom Bedroom, Carousel Kitchen, Sugarcube Kitchen, Ponyville Street, Zecora Outside
I propose these are all upgraded to base game in line with the idea of expanding both interiors and exteriors of existing locations.
>Twilight's Lab
Potentially also worth a base game upgrade but I feel like AI slops Twilight a lot as a scientist. This might make it worse if a lab is siting in the context.
>Other Notes
Base game angle/crop overrides can be decided on your own.
Should all three CMC bedrooms be marked as selectable night residences? I do also have them and some others marked as sleepover spots.
Should I add the id field, region: "Ponyville", delete all old pos properties for all locations including base game locations to make things consistent?
Is sandbox_dialogue used for anything other than an extra description in some of the location selects? I haven't been filling it in since I don't know how to standardize it or what it's used for.

>>43283495
I agree with all the base game ones, except maybe the Water Tower one? IMO it's a bit anecdotal and would be better as a download.
Only thing I'm afraid of is the size of the game and if dynamic location presets don't become too bloated by default, but otherwise I like the locations.
I could maybe look into supporting webp and port the base backgrounds to that without quality loss.
I like the replacements too, except Sweet Apple Acres since I find the original quite good in game, but maybe I should test the others.
>Should all three CMC bedrooms be marked as selectable night residences? I do also have them and some others marked as sleepover spots.
I don't really see a problem with that, so why not?
>Should I add the id field, region: "Ponyville", delete all old pos properties for all locations including base game locations to make things consistent?
I had the distinction "Group of locations" in region.json and singular like before, but dunno if it still makes sense.
>Is sandbox_dialogue used for anything other than an extra description in some of the location selects? I haven't been filling it in since I don't know how to standardize it or what it's used for.
It's a relic I kept around to see if it could be useful for some events during sandbox, but no, it's not useful right now.

>Scootaloo Bedroom
>This depends on if people roleplay with Scootaloo as homeless enough for a bedroom in AI context to matter.
I mean, these days I write Scoots with her canon family, but with the tweak that she's not really babysat by half the town. The aunts maybe come by every couple weeks or so to check on her, but otherwise Scootaloo basically lives on her own at 12.

At the same time though, IDK if I'll ever end up using using a chatbot again, so...my input is probably irrelevant.

>>43283680
Actually, a location enable/disable options system could be useful; Anons can customize Equestria to their preferred simulation setup.

>>43283495
Have you come across any backgrounds that might work well as the player home's living room?

>>43283603
>Only thing I'm afraid of is the size of the game and if dynamic location presets don't become too bloated by default, but otherwise I like the locations.
AI is only getting better and contexts getting bigger. I've been thinking the opposite and have been also defining a new property in each location called short_desc that could be optionally in context for all locations to tell the AI what a specific location id is. This can be tested without changes to the actual game since I'll export it as a pasteable context into the dynamic location box for Ponyville. I wouldn't mind actually helping solve the problem too. I think the best solution in the future would be a two part system 1) A main overview of landmarks in a region that shows only one main location_id for each main landmark 2) In each location.json, an array of related_locations that tells the AI where it can move from that location.
>I like the replacements too, except Sweet Apple Acres since I find the original quite good in game, but maybe I should test the others.
It's definitely the biggest loss out of the crops. I'll keep that one aside for now. The problem in general of cropping to VN style is that you lose a lot of the context of surroundings. In the actual show they wouldn't show a closeup scene without showing an establishing shot first. I will propose a loading screen system in the future where you could show these full images for every location while the AI is loading the scene.
>Deleting pos property
I think it's less confusing to just have a separate region.json for the legacy map since you need it for the multi room locations anyway. The pos property just becomes baggage unless there's something hardcoded that depends on it in game.
>>43283716
>Have you come across any backgrounds that might work well as the player home's living room?
No but I'll think about it in the future. I'm curious about when Nano Banana 2 Pro will release and if it will be good at making original backgrounds in FiM style.

The version that will be public of Claude Mythos was available to some teams.

$16 per million input tokens and $80 per million output tokens. A 1M context window running at 52 tokens per second.

That's a bit more expensive than Opus 3 back then.

>>43283832
I don't have hope for this model's RP capabilities.

>>43284265
Certainly nothing that would justify the price.

>>43283076
That was me, I'll give it a shot. Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better(I was getting better results from heretic models of Gemma 4 E4B(9B) than I was the same fine tunes of Gemma 4 31B or 26 A4B, or Qwen 3.5/3.6 35B A3B and 27B models. I'm more than certain those models were better at other tasks like coding, but those weights were interfering with roleplay quality.

This new 12B mode does looks promising though.

Does a chatbot's equivalent to a LoRA exist? It would be nice to feed it a bunch of prose and then have it replicate the style to some extent.

>>43284915
Sure, ready made ones are not as prevalent though.

sometimes i wonder if we'll ever reach a point of true originality from the models. if its even possible by design.
Its a hazy feeling im trying to describe, i know. they do manage to surprise sometimes. but i mean in the sense of asking the model to construct an interesting creative scenario and it will make something you truly never seen before.

>>43284949
AI always picks the blandest, lamest possible version of anything. Give them sci-fi, they'll deliver u 'Vasquez' with a side of space opera. Give them a clever character, they give u numbers mega-autist nerd. Give them anything and they'll FUCK it in the ASS. just edit their replies and shove them around to get them started, i can't imagine them working thru this particular issue unless we get some new architecture entirely or AGI or some shit

File: 3635929.png (2.7 KB)

here's a little prompt for u

"Hey, {{user}}. Can I tell you something?" Twilight asked, looking up from her book.

"Shoot."

"You give off chill pedophile vibes like you sort of like foals but you went to therapy and got impulse control so you would never hurt one if you know what I mean. I'm a pedophile too and it makes me happy when I see you around because it feels like I can participate in society too. Good on you 'bro', thank you so much!"

>>43284949
I don't think it's possible because I haven't seen humans produce truly unique things I've never seen before. I think it's just a limitation of creativity that's familiar. Once you've read the original ideas you can see them pop up everywhere.
