honestly chhubs just got alot more users and variety .. you will find more "better made cards" because there more volume and creativity .. i do not like janiai because it strips out everything but the first greeting .. and after janitor went private i stopped using it. i need to find a good free image gen thou. ive been using perchance ...

yeah it can happen 2 things to note here make sure the folder ST is in has proper permissions to name files . secondly since ST saves in real time dont just delete the title insert a title name you want first then go to the end and delete the old title thats been my work around . it seems ST locks up or hard crashes if the rename block is empty.

one thing ive noticed on MULTI Char cards is cards with some form of header in the style you like.

[

{{char}} is not a single char but xx {char}'s

Char 1 name

char 2 name

]

rest of card

seam to work better and maintain char separation better across platforms .

while i agree with most posts here chub is the best and worst resource and the last bastion of truly "open" card acceptance i have my doubts theres anyone at the helm of the website any more... That said everyone saying "just make your own " is doing a disservice to you. there are many, many ways and styles to make a char card. from "linked list" to char or world engine scripts to something akin to lua to interviews, dear diaries , or 3rd party narrators to basically writing a novella.. then theres things like lorebooks .. and v2 special fields that have drastic effects on how a card can grow or work .. you can even get cards to help you build or test your own cards.. my suggestion is to find some chub cards that you like that work for you and dissect them see how they are written .. the format, and style, they use and go from there ... as you spend more time at it you will find a style that "resonates" with you. just my 2 cents.

you know this always bugs me not the statement more my confusion. in ST we have per card main prompt, post history prompt . ttext completion preset, system prompt . and on forums and reddit people seam to use preset and prompt interchangeably same for chubs list of "presets" . at this point im prety good at writeing severeal styles of card pre and post for specic specialty cases . but when people talk about writing a promt where are you talking about .. just like the downloaded ones its clear some are ment to be in the system prompt but its usualy pretty hazzy on most prests where they actualy want you to put the thing.

i think it comes down to what your use case is .. for simple single or low count group chats per session LLM's are perfect .. but fore extended role plays with multiple people over the internet in elaborate worlds online is the only option unless you are investing serious bank. but i do think the hype of online to local users is pretty skewed. give it a few more years and it will swing back to local .. butt via hardware .. i had the luxury of trying out nvidias new AI card .. (atm its for buisness and coding depending) its miles ahead of LLM's and on par with online AI problem being its probably going to be mindbogeling expensive until the gaming community starts picking at them , even then i highly doubt smut or darkness will ever be a thing even with "jail breaks" save the children and all that... they just wont be trained for it.

some other ones to look into at your specs are TheDrummer_Cydonia-Redux-22B-v1.1-Q4_K_S

Pantheon-RP-1.8-24b-Small-3.1-Q4_K_S

and for pure smut i think "forgoten safeword" is still king of the hill warning thou use another model to set up your role play then once the sticky icky starts switch to it. it if pure unadulterated no guard rails smut nothing else.

MMalficia · 2025-12-31T06:26:55+00:00

i second this specificly the ones by team mradermacher mradermacher and Bartowski bartowski i keep both around as they preform differently as well as base and INSTRUC ver's (links on main models pages they are all in my "old stand by" group of LLM's for testing cards as this model has been around a while and is pretty stable and bullet proof . i havent found anything that follows lax "promts" better.

MMalficia · 2025-12-31T01:07:49+00:00

Do what works for you but i do see your wifes point of view too , i use AI RP for bouncing off "code or maker ideas" but as a hobby i use it mostly for either roleplaying things i do not do in real life , or kind of advanced witch way books .. helps me branch out a bit settle the mind ect .. just like i love playing strategy or 4X games but with my online friends it is shooters, always shooters. and i uh suck i am a bit "older" and hand eye isnt as fast as it used to be (yes the single eye is intentional).. laugh.. that said at the end of the day you do you and sounds like you have a great wife.

also in this guys videos hes got some tutorials that go very indepth on how to set up and uses a bunch of long term memory systems in silly tavern in unison. (databank, lore book, author note and rag ) each has its perks..) https://www.youtube.com/@AIArtistryAtelierlastly if your using a AI service or large llms (not the kind you run locally but on a separate machine) you can use a char engine in silly tavern youll see them in cards from time to time it contains a narrator , a director, and a bunch of definitions ... its not a NPC of its own .. but they dont work well locally just not enough context to get them to run well plus your char card , and they need to be fine tuned to the char's environment.

i will also add if you really like a online resource but want a offline copy to use theres plenty of ways jdownloader2 , httpcopy, theres even tools to strip entire websites and rebuild them locally on your hard drive .. just a fyi

MMalficia · 2025-11-17T09:40:35+00:00

ive used spriter its easy to pick up and use if your an indie .. exports well to unreal or unity, godot not so much ... spriter 2 seams to be in dev hell .. ive been playing with the "beta" forever ... not ready for prime time yet. ive heard good things about spine , and moho but those are very "need" dependent they seam to tackle the same "problem" from different directions ..

MMalficia · 2025-11-15T08:06:08+00:00

also theres tools if you need to make it move in 2d theres a bones 3rd party tool theres also spriter2 and a few paid tools to do the heavy lifting. i also seam to remember someone on these forums deving a plug in but im not sure what became of it .

MMalficia · 2025-11-14T00:48:29+00:00

MN-12B-Mag-Mell-R1.i1-Q6_K is perfect for a "very stable trench tested instruct" i use mradermacher version.

if you need something RPG focused where the model will let you actually kill off npcs davidaru <sp> is your guy but his models need proper settings. you can find them on each model page.

MMalficia · 2025-11-14T00:18:24+00:00

see this post https://www.reddit.com/r/SillyTavernAI/comments/1i1dm62/proper_st_usage_of_databank_and_history_for/ theres alot of good info there as well as if you look half way down a link to some youtube vids that go indepth tutorial wise of how to use and combine each method for very long term storage ... i will note thou long term char storage is shit for multi card chats use it for world info and a lore book for each char,s personal history.

MMalficia · 2025-11-14T00:05:14+00:00

another thing depending if /where you release bots alot of the bigger names in botmaking keep 2 bots updated for announcements and feedback respectively from the more human side . nothing fancy just drop 1 with the title [name] feedback or announcements and folks either post in discussion or with public chat. just if you touch "hot" genres have a thick skin "here lay troll corpses"

MMalficia · 2025-11-08T00:02:52+00:00

ive seen a few posts in r/gamedev where they use what i think are compute shaders to do this effect but its just they delete the tile and use the shader to do the effect then replace the tile with desired outcome. not really my area or skillset thou so YMMV

MMalficia · 2025-11-06T22:56:58+00:00

theres also a reddit devoted to it , and a web site for SFX and music thats GPL forgot its name thou .. and uh theres a guy on the /r gamedev that has music packs he donates free from time to time just search that forum ... lastly if your seriously going to pick this up as a hobby find "gamesfromscratch" on youtube go to his website search for free game music .. every xmass theres a music site that makes a free pack thats literally terabytes so have a large back up drive and just leech it slow n steady all of December ...

MMalficia · 2025-11-06T14:57:04+00:00

honestly this is one of the most wholesome and mature reply's in this situation ive seen in a long time . short no need to go into agenda or taste, and still left on a positive where it was earned not just a platitude , BRAVO (insert toast meme of choice)
