having a issue where i can't scroll down when selecting worlds on mobile

Addition to this, can't even start a season due to character customization being super hostile to mobile users to the point the start button doesn't show up

Developer(+1)

Massive mobile overhaul just dropped, give it another shot and let me know

I'm curious if you'll have body morphing back to the aviator or is it gone?

Developer (2 edits)

Was an oversight. the feature still exists, the old model just isn't in the build since i stripped all NSFW content to appease Github. I will add it back for itch specifically next version. Any VRM model with shape keys works though, you don't specifically need the old model to get body morphs.

The old model is now in the web version.

I see makes sense


yey!

idk if this count as a bug but it seems this revamp thing reset the characters model too the expansion mechanic on 3d model just won't work as if there's none in a first place

also sorry for my a lil rubbish eng if you're confusing

even world with custom model also have this problem too btw

Developer (1 edit)

Just an oversight. Since the project is now hosted on Github, I didn't include any NSFW content to start. I'll put the old model back into the itch build only next time. However, the mechanics are still there. You can either add the old model to the game yourself via the 'Add VRM' seen during character customization or create a VRM model with the body shapes you want yourself. Nothing in code has disabled this.

The old model is now in the web version.

I'm really sad the AI won't ever talk back and control the characters in the world around me. The AI always say stuff like No words were needed, the unspoken words between us, and nothing needs to be said, I like don't know how to respond if it doesn't talk with actual words. I do admit I miss the NSFW model a lot the lack of communication and prude personally ruined the story telling.

Developer

Renting GPUs to do anything is super expensive right now, especially so if the task is AI related. The model change was to try and get something that won't be unreasonably expensive to pay for. Best option if the current quality isn't good enough is to either create an account on an LLM hosting site or try out local stuff. Small LLMs able to run on <4GB of VRAM are surprisingly good for the hardware/effort required. The desktop app runs models natively and has a few suggestions of small models to try out which can be downloaded directly in the app itself, no technical skill required. 

Thank you I'm not really a tech savvy person most AI stuff goes way over my head.  I took your advice and went on LLM and installed it on my computer and it was much easier to use then I thought. Everything worked out great for me I still can't use it on my phone but I'm happy with the computer version. I do really appreciate you and all the hard work you do to bring us such a wonderful game, hope the new AI eventually works as well as the old system did. I also love your game on Itch  love cute bunnies keep up the great work❤️

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad you like Freya! Working on the next update atm featuring Sethi. She's getting a big overhaul to improve her story, so stay tuned~


As for running on desktop, the Formamorph windows/linux/mac app can run models natively, so you don't even need a second application running in the background for it. And on mobile, if you have LM Studio, you can actually enable the Serve on Local Network setting to allow you to connect to your PC and play on mobile too! All local, any time you want, offline. Def let me know if you have trouble setting it up by reaching out on the Discord.

Patience is a virtue everyone, stay strong until the ai gets fixed

I can't seem to be able to scroll on the traits and dictionary screen when editing a world or the load save screen either on mobile

Developer

Fixed in the latest update

(+1)

So my thing is it's the update all together tho it looks cool it does have issues. Like when you download the new world it ask either to keep the same size or downgrade . Then there's the paragraph issue, instead of putting out a a nice lengthy detailed paragraph, it's just short and dull then there's the choices no matter what you type it'll give the same respond choices . So in short this was a terrible idea and Im not hating or being rude it's just the old one was better simpler to maintain 

Developer

Old version is still available to download, so you can use that instead. 

How 

Developer

By downloading it to your computer

all my data from 1.2.0 isn't being carried over to the new version :(

Developer

on what platform?

windows

Developer

best way is to export each thing you want carried over from v1.2 and then import them all into v2.4.0. I added multi-importing so that part should be fast. just the exporting will be time consuming.

was rather long but i done it 

Developer

sweet, let me know if you run into any other issues. 

immediately ran into an issue where i can't start a game, it just keeps saying "failed to process AI request" and "Failed to complete action. Please try again."

Developer (1 edit)

you need to load a model in the endpoint settings. i will smooth this out in the future with a first time user flow.

my gpu seems too small to download any of the AI's, is there like another method that doesn't require me to download anything? [ok i kind of lied, there is ONE single AI that i see that i'm able to download, but i'll have 600 megabytes left after downloading it]

Developer

try it out

not entirely sure how the image gen works

bare in mind this is my first using it

Any pointers? I keep getting "failed to fetch"

So obviously something is missing but what?

I'm also having issues when trying to scoll down in the world editing.

Developer

Scrolling is fixed in the latest update. As for image gen, you'll have to be more specific about your set up. Are you using A1111 or Comfy? You'll also need to expose those to your LAN.

I see it works now, as for the other thing I'm not entirely sure how to set it up, tho looking deeper I've realised how complicated it actually is.

Sometimes re-generating a response deletes all notes.

Developer

if you can get solid repro steps i can fix it

I didn't do anything specific so idk- I just tend to re-generate fairly often

There appears to be a problem with dictionaries in the downloadable versions of both 2.3 and 2.5.

No matter what I do, I cannot get it to actually provide dictionary content to the models during play. Include an external dictionary? Nothing. Put something in the default dictionary? Still nothing. Check 'Always Inject'? No reaction. Regex, Recursive, Whole Words...? Doesn't matter. Check different AI model? No change. Check different worlds? Nope! Nothing I do can get the program to include dictionary content in the AI context.

Strangely enough, this is not the case in the web version. There everything works as expected. It is only the downloadable version that has this bug.

I am using the windows version, in case that helps.

Developer

Did you remove dictionaries from your prompt on Desktop?

(1 edit)

No, I used a slightly customised prompt, then also used the default prompt and the simplified prompt during testing. Nothing from the dictionary in any of them. Checking the AI context, I can see where it's meant to put it, but no matter what it just gives N/A.

Developer

You'd have to give me something reproducible. I asked in the discord but no one else seems to be having that issue. a pretty bad issue at that.

In order to create a step-by-step guide to reproduce the error, I made a second install in a clean new folder and set up the exact same circumstance that led to the error before (i.e. opened up a world with dictionary entries, then asked about something relating to those at the first opportunity). This time, it actually worked for some reason, the AI managed to use dictionary content to make its response.

The bug still persists in the old install, but not the new one. Copying over the userdata folder from the old install to the new install caused the bug to appear. Strange and troubling. Currently suspecting that the formatting for the prompts (including default) got corrupted somehow.

I am going to do another clean install, import the things I want from the old install one-by-one, and see at what point the bug appears. If I do find anything fixable, I'll report back here.

Developer

nice, thank you for taking the time for this. sounds like there's a bug to fix but it's not from the default settings. this should reveal it and prevent others from running into it.

So my problem turned out to be two problems...

  1. my old install is subtly broken, possibly due to a bug in the in-program update feature or due to me trying to use the .exe in 'app' folder before realising my mistake. Earlier, when I tried to run the default 'Reincarnated to Another World as a Cute Assault Drone' world the placeholders were super broken in the introduction message. And, of course, now that I want to show that brokenness it is suddenly working normally again. In either case, I am unable to reproduce this... weirdness.
  2. If you open Formamorph 1.2.0, export a world that has the dictionary entry {key: '--', value: 'Ignore this'} and then import said world into Formamorph 2.3+, then the dictionary for that world is permanently broken. Even if you remove that entry and add other entries. I found this out with the world I was using to debug test things (modified version of "Test Your Ai's Knowledge" with that entry present along with several others). In other words, I was using a broken world to try and find general problems with the entire program. No wonder things did not seem to add up.
    1. This bug does not occur if you import a world .json exported from 2.3+, only when the file was exported from 1.2.0.
    2. I have no idea how that error managed to spread to all worlds on my original install. Right now, I'm just chalking it up to the general brokenness of that install. Possibly that I did a multi-import with the problem-causing world present? Not sure.
Developer

I pushed a serialization fix for dictionaries/placeholders which may solve it in the future.

Small bug i think, when im using my own endpoint and i try to enter a world it gives me

Can’t reach your endpoint

Formamorph couldn’t get a response from your custom endpoint. Check that the server is running and the URL is right.


But my server works and i get past this error by using fiery lions default endpoint to get past the innitial popup thats above, then i switch back to my custom endpoint again and play normally.

Isn't this check before entering a world unnecessary too? People will know if their endpoint doesn't work or not if they enter a world and press start game. 

The popup wouldn't be bad if it didn't also block you out of entering a world.

Developer

1. i'm not seeing the bug you are.
2. yes, it is needed. perhaps it does not currently work in all cases, but it does not need removal, just fixing. people kept messaging me saying they can't start a game and keep getting an error only to realize they didn't have a model loaded or weren't using the default endpoint, etc. 

👍 

I've downloaded version 2.5 3 times to install custom ai and the app forced itself shut down and refused to open, is it a bug?

Developer

you'd need to give me more info on what you're opening and how. not hearing anyone else with that issue so it most likely isn't a bug

i installed one of the ai from the list and as it finished installing the app itself shut down and as i clicked to open the app again it just went off the screen.

Hello, just did a bunch of spontaneous tests with the text boxes, just to see capabilities and limitations (I was bored). I have some things you might want to look at (if you even care for getting the Markdown implementation better). I found that Headers are implemented up to level 6, but level 1 is broken, formatting the same as level 5 (# is the same as #####). I also found that list and blockquote nesting doesn't indent properly (aka at all).  Finally markdown subscript and superscript isn't implemented (not sure if this is intentional or not. I also found HTML and Unicode alternatives with it that has funky stuff going on that I think are beautiful features that definitely shouldn't be seen as bugs, like proper glitchy, line overlapping insane uses of zalgotext and sub/superscript stacks. I am going to use these to my advantage lol). 

Developer

would love if you joined the discord. these posts will unfortunately get lost/forgotten here. up to you though, thank you for taking the time to test out stuff <3

This might be less of a bug and more of a missing feature, but I think it's kind of important.

I've been looking at the Community Creations comments, and there seem to be some discussion happening about the content policy/rules. I’ve looked around, and I can’t seem to find these rules anywhere in the game itself. I even made a test-world and checked the upload process; no mention of any rules at all.

There are references to the discord server in the discussion, but it seems counter-productive to expect people to go to a third-party app to check the rules for a game, especially when they might not even realise that there are any rules to look up in the first place. At the very least, one would expect to find such rules on the page for the game itself here on itch.io, but it'd probably be better to show (or link) them as you go to upload a world.

Also - it might be a good idea to introduce a way of telling which accounts are moderator accounts at a glance.

So, still having issues running an AI through OpenRouter and am still getting connection failure errors. When I try to see if the model is running via the means suggested, it shows an error. How do you troubleshoot this? I don't really get in-depth with AI, and while I know some coding, this is outside my wheel house

Developer

Resolved on Discord. User checked model name on their endpoint and realized it changed. No bug with Formamorph.

(-1)

When I download worlds and try to edit them, none of the entities, locations, and traits have descriptions, it's been like this for multiple weeks.

Developer

whatever world you downloaded is bugged. not seeing that on my end and nobody else has reported it. i just downloaded the first world ever created and it still works just fine.

It seems to happen to worlds by specific creators, HereToPlease is one of the creators in question

Developer

tried all of their worlds and it isn't happening on the latest version on browser nor desktop

thank

The character model in Formamorph doesn not grow unbounded in 2.9.0. Currently, it seems to treat the max of a stat as the value where the shapekey is set to 1, which means that increasing the max counterintuitively makes any character model changes slower rather than increasing the maximum size the character model can reach.

Developer

Fixed in the latest version
