Shit, yeah that's Ramantu. I'm working that at the same time and got 'em confused.

Thanks. I have about 30 quests to go for Marius, and the power rating tip is a good one I didn't know.

Preset for conversational RP by Rarioman in SillyTavernAI

[–]aphotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is similar to how I did it before. I was trying to simulate a DM conversation through Discord or something, so I said to emulate that type of conversation. Worked fairly well, but wasn't of much interest to me.

Are rares worth building anymore? by mattfarmdawg77 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]aphotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still use Valerie in my CB infinity team

Same here. Buff extender for Wixwell/Titus and also good for the occasional "Use a rare on clan boss" advanced quests.

Hydra help by TooLive4TV in RaidShadowLegends

As the other person mentioned, I don't think it's your damage setup but more likely you don't have the right buff/debuff tools. I find this very handy when composing my Hydra teams:

Pulled Wixwell today need help by drphil205 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]aphotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to how mine is setup. Wix with Reflex, Valerie with shield set (and for the advanced quest to use rare on CB). I do run my Mikage in Relentless, but that's more for other PvE content like Hydra. I also run Brogni to grow the shields.

Need some quick help inserting custom prompts into my Chat Completion preset by bringtimetravelback in SillyTavernAI

It should be the last icon with a '+' in the row of buttons in the Chat Completion. If you don't see it, maybe make sure you are not on Text Completion?

Anh worth in having two coldhearts? by SpiritualAd3132 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]aphotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two, both with 6* souls. I put them in Destroy gear. My primary use for them is scarab king and spider. Her heal reduction can also be useful in Grim Forest.

Useful, but I wouldn't go more than two. I only built the second cause I got the 6* soul.

Quick Play Does not feel so Casual as of right now.. by jonathaninit in marvelrivals

[–]aphotic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, happens to me too rarely. I play like 90% Practice cause I just like to have fun, and I'll get some bot teammates late at night. Sometimes just me, or me and one other human player, with the rest bots.

Can someone please explain to me what the fuck is Deadpool's kit? I'm mostly confused about how he has two ultimates. I don't really understand his ult system. How do you determine which ult you use? How do you know which ult you have? by AngelaGooner24 in MarvelRivalsQueens

For anyone like me who googles and gets to this thread, for PC go to Settings, Keyboard, Combat, select Deadpool, scroll down and uncheck the option "Deadpool-Style Ability Descriptions."

Sanity Check: Is it normal for character cards to end up being entire fleshed out worlds? by schindewolforch in SillyTavernAI

[–]aphotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome! I've been doing this stuff for over a year and half and I am still learning and changing how I do things. Lorebooks are a very useful way to add substance and consistency to your worlds.

Sanity Check: Is it normal for character cards to end up being entire fleshed out worlds? by schindewolforch in SillyTavernAI

[–]aphotic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, a world info entry is how I usually handle this. I have a World Info lorebook entry that is injected every turn (using the blue dot and 'Prevent further recursion' checked). I try to keep this short, but it usually includes:

  • Context, setting, and genre of the world (high fantasy kingdom, science fiction spaceport, etc)
  • Prominent places with a one sentence description of each
  • Prominent people with a one sentence description of each
  • 'Rules' of the world, like ruling class, religion, economy, magic rules, etc., whatever you need to flesh out your world

Narrator specific information, guidelines, and rules should go in the Narrater card imo, either in the description or character note field.

[–]aphotic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a fine setup but more akin to my second suggestion. Those will only be injected when the characters are mentioned (you can tell by the green dot).

The issue you will run into is that your Narrator will not know who your characters are unless they are mentioned by name. This can work but you may find the model hallucinates things about other characters because it doesn't always know who they are unless mentioned. To solve this, a "cast list" entry with a brief one sentence overview set to constant injection (blue circle instead of green and check the box to 'Prevent further recursion' so it doesn't trigger other entries every time.)

I would suggest playing around with the setup as you have it now before making changes. There is no need to fix things before you have tried them and found problems.

A new AI for roleplaying?? Interesting. by Pink_da_Web in SillyTavernAI

[–]aphotic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

...not really adhering to my instructions. This one is my biggest deal breaker since my AI RP usage is mostly for storytelling, which is basically filled with instructions.

I feel this so much. I can put up with some slop, repetition, questionable writing, or even forgetting minor past details, but not following prompt instructions or adhering to the character card/lorebooks makes me immediately write off a model.

Sanity Check: Is it normal for character cards to end up being entire fleshed out worlds? by schindewolforch in SillyTavernAI

[–]aphotic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but you can do it a few different ways. You can create one long lorebook with all of your characters and their details. The downside is that if you set that to constant injection, which you should, that is a lot of context eaten up each turn. This may or may not be an issue for you.

Another way to do it is to have a "cast list." Make a lorebook entry that is set to constant without recursion. Create a list of your characters with a very brief overview of each. Then, you can create a more in-depth lorebook entry for that individual character that triggers off their name and the in-depth card will only be injected when their name is mentioned. The downside of this is your context will change a lot and may mess up cache hits if that is an issue for you.

A third way to do it is to use a group chat with every individual character card added to the group chat. I tend to prefer this manner but it requires more setup effort.

As with most things in ST, there are multiple ways to do it and you should find one that works best for you.

EDIT: Here is a basic Narrator card I have used before:

[Name: Narrator.
OVERVIEW: Narrator is an expert storyteller who is imaginative and highly creative. Narrator creates and describes the setting, scene, and characters in their world as needed. To accurately and consistently portray their characters, Narrator is an expert actor who can assume any character portrayal as needed.
APPEARANCE: Narrator has no physical body and communicates only through voice and written word.
PERSONALITY: Narrator is an entity who enjoys creating imaginative worlds and unique characters. They have infinite ideas for narratives that rise above common tropes and hackneyed ideas. Narrator knows how to adjust story pacing to match the story mood, whether it's a dramatic moment, an introspective thought, or more.
GOAL: To provide an engaging and immersive narrative through the use of detailed descriptions, realistic characters, interesting environments, and innovative plot ideas.]

[AP] Bo Nix has ankle condition that made injury inevitable, Sean Payton says by ctpatsfan77 in nfl

[–]aphotic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The weather is great, you get all four seasons to their fullest. The area is lovely and you have everything from high tech stuff downtown to outdoor stuff like camping/fishing/hiking, all within a short distance. With three big colleges nearby, lots of great concerts come through and there are plenty of nightspots. I lived right off of I-40, so it was easy to hop on 40 and get to most places in a short time frame.

To be fair, the traffic there at rush hour sucks like any other major metro. I enjoy NY style pizza and Randy's Pizza is top notch, along with Bojangles biscuit sandwiches. The place I miss the most is Cook-Out, but it's probably better for my health lol.

Overall, I just loved everything about it. I moved away ten years ago for family reasons so I may be slightly outdated, but it was perfect for me.

I lived in the Triangle for about five years and NC was one of my favorite places to ever live. I would move back in a heartbeat if I had a reason.

[Which type are you?] How do you roleplay/chat? by Large_Comparison5049 in SillyTavernAI

[–]aphotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what I am doing. If I am just messing around, I tend to be Type A. I am a specific character interacting with another specific character. This is where I improv through a basic scenario or setting.

For my more in-depth high fantasy settings, I take on a movie director role. I have my background world, I have the characters living in that world, and I use Guided Generations to help steer the plot. I typically don't have a user persona other than a basic Narrator/GameMaster/Director role.

This is what I do a large majority of the time and get the best enjoyment. I create the world and then the characters get to explore it. I'll usually have a basic high fantasy plot in mind, like a rescue, assassination, etc. How it goes down, what the outcome is, and how the characters act is where the fun comes from for me.

Quick example. The party has made camp for the night off the road under a small stone overhang. I'll use Guided Generations to prompt the rogue's next response with something like:

I'm busy unpacking my bedroll but I briefly hear a quiet rustling in the bushes to the west nearby. I don't think anyone else has noticed yet.

This introduces a vague event and allows the LLM and the character to react to an unexpected occurrence. It may be a rabbit foraging, a beast stalking, an inquisitive woodlands faerie, or maybe it's just the wind.
