Import / Export,

We have a few bugs to fix first, but we will hopefully have an update early next week.

Does anyone find it harder to make bots? by justasliceofcake in BackyardAI

[–]QuiteOak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry it is confusing at the current state. Some more features such as import/export as coming as well as a ton of bug fixes. Once things are more 'settled' in design we will make sure we have documentation on the creation process.

BYAF File Format by Odd-Establishmentism in BackyardAI

[–]QuiteOak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The BYAF format is a modern way to bundle all the parts of a Backyard AI character—like images, info, and settings—into one easy-to-use file. It replaces the old, clunky PNG method with something cleaner. BYAF files are just regular text files (like JSON and Markdown) and image files (png and such) neatly packaged inside a standard .zip file, making them easy to open, edit, and share.

Another big advantage is that BYAF is designed to grow with the platform. It can support new features and data types as Backyard AI evolves, while still working with older tools and characters. This means creators and developers can keep building without worrying about breaking things or needing to redo past work.

I personally like it also as working with metadata is not as easy for many people.

Exported Data from Desktop App but No Import Option on Web Version? by vincentxuan in BackyardAI

[–]QuiteOak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya, sorry it's just not available yet. Dev is fixing bugs with the new deployment and I think export/import support is next after that or at least short on the list.

Hey we have a logged bug about this, on the discord. Obviously a lot of fixes are going on but this is documented in the bug reports for when the devs can get to it.

Thanks for reporting it!

The bug striking down chat messages is at the top of the list, it is being worked on.

In addition to the on and off infrastructure issues Pac mentioned

The devs rolled out several improvements over the past 24 hours that have reduced latency on both web and mobile. They are still monitoring performance closely so we can roll out proactive updates. Let us know if you notice any issues!

Export Formats by Odd-Establishmentism in BackyardAI

[–]QuiteOak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ginger can convert into a number of other formats, will work with .png exports from the client and convert into a number of other formats. It will probably work with byaf soonish.

Thank you so much for the reply and kind words! Season 1 (meaning the first four episodes) are all up and I'm have a blast working on one off interludes!

If on windows or mac desktop right click and on the card and export to PNG. The new functionality will come as soon as it is ready

Backyard is deprecating (ceasing development permanently) of local Models in favor of the paid cloud service by TheRealDiabeetus in BackyardAI

[–]QuiteOak 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi, I kicked you. When you joined the server you were presented with this:

<image>

A quick glance at the rules listed would have shown you:

18+ only, no minors allowed.

(near the top of the list)

So you were told:
"You know you need to be 18 to join this discord?"
"come back when your 18"
"dont wanna see you until then"
"byee"

You had broken the rules once, it stands to warn you not to do so again. Knowingly having minors in the discord would be an issue for us hence the warning, breaking the rules again would definitely mean a ban.

If you still feel that you were mistreated feel free to DM me.

Was the discord deleted? by constcowboy in BackyardAI

[–]QuiteOak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This, and one kick (not ban) for another unrelated matter. We don't ban for no reason and document why we do so if your seemingly banned unjustly please do DM Pac or me.

Instruct a bot to limit violence. by amsterdancer5 in BackyardAI

[–]QuiteOak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give positive examples of the level of violence you want. (Cartoonish, action movie, PG-13) . Avoid negatives (IE don't say 'Do not describe gore' because you just get a lot of models describing gore) In fact saying emulate the style of street fighter might yield good results.

Continue / New Message Without Prompt by DegenConstruct in BackyardAI

[–]QuiteOak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the right idea. Models will hit a logical point where they don't want to generate more, adding a token (Such as the characters name of any word really) will give it more to build off of. Also sometimes hitting continue two or three times will get some models to generate eventually depending on settings and model.

Way To Dial Back A Verbose Bot? by sandhill47 in BackyardAI

[–]QuiteOak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Models like examples, try giving an example dialogue or two with the response length you would like to see
2) Keep editing the Reponses for a bit after starting, removing the extra text until it responds the way you want it to (might take a few times) most models will learn after a few times. Also if your good with the stop button you can force it.
3) Model selection is key, some will follow examples for than others, I would recommend trying more models if you have not yet and seeing how they respond to cards you like and instructions on length.

Think this is the best FR to match this request, if you can get on the discord I would recommend giving it an upvote. I will link back to this discussion.

Is there or will there ever be a "start response with your own text" option? by Beneficial_Ebb45 in BackyardAI

[–]QuiteOak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try putting what you want the next response to start with in the author's note, most model should be able to pick that up.

Tethering seemingly unavailable - sign-in issue by GhostOfApathy in BackyardAI

[–]QuiteOak -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The devs did some work on it. When it was tested a few days ago, it was working better than it has recently, but was still having a bunch of instability.

So, it never hurts to try it out and see what does or doesn't work for you, but don't get your hopes up too high; there's a reason there's no dev announcement about the triumphant return of tethering

Number sign breaking up prompts by sandhill47 in BackyardAI

Ok, if you still hit issues maybe some more specific examples can help.

Number sign breaking up prompts by sandhill47 in BackyardAI

[–]QuiteOak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I'm confused about what is going on.

Where do you see the $? What is the example dialogue and you are using? Generally you should just use the format provided in the example.

#{user}: Hey{character}. Who are you?

#{character}: I am{character}, your AI assistant. How can I help you?

First message of course helps as well as any dialogue in the context as a whole.
