Hey everyone!

This is the main gathering spot for all things related to Character Matrix. We're excited to have you here and can't wait to see what you think of the game!

I actually use ComfyUI and Stable Diffusion through Pinokio. I even have two or so models by Wai. I actually have a 1Tb external hard drive just for AI so I have tons of art models, LoRas and vae. You may not get a lot of players for this game. But, you're actually the first one who put an AI game here where players who have the stuff on their PC could actually play without having to use an API key and lose out on money. lol. When I get the chance, I may try this out and see what you've done. As of right now though, I'm kind of busy trying to get a game made to and writing a book. It really does look interesting.

Developer

Thanks for your comment! I haven't seen any similar projects either, which is what motivated me. I've never heard of Pinokio, but I'll check it out later. Good luck with your projects. I hope you'll have time to play my game. I can't wait to hear your feedback.

This looks great, but I have no idea what i'm looking at. 

Developer

That's what I was afraid of. Could you be a little more specific? There are tooltips in the game for this case. If you don't understand something, you can hover your mouse over the object and wait a moment.

I read this part and clicked the link. 
"First-Time Setup Recommendation: If this is your first time installing, I recommend using Stability Matrix to test which backend works best for you."

Seems like there is a lot I have to learn to get the functionality out of this, I just don't want to right now. Or maybe it just seems like a lot.

Developer

You're right. Installation will take a long time, at least to download the model (6-7 GB) and the programs themselves (~3 GB or more, I'm not sure). This is more for people who already have one of the image generators installed. This game is more of a concept exploration.

Hello, I'm not very familiar with the world of AI. To be honest, I didn't understand any of the instructions. I installed everything, but it's terribly complicated for me. Can you help?

Developer

Before we begin, I should point out that if you don't have 12-20 GB of free disk space and at least 8 GB of RAM, I'm sorry, but this project is simply not for you; it just won't run. But thank you very much for your interest and comment!

If you are ready to continue with the painful and confusing installation process, the first step is to install Stability Matrix. Here is a YouTube video, but you can find any other video. 

Can you please give more in depth installation steps? I am so lost, I downloaded forge and ran it and it brought me to a website but after that I am lost.

Developer

I assume that the website is 128.0.0.1:7860 or very similar. Great, you're almost done! I assume that you haven't installed Stability Matrix (if you have, the next steps will be different).
Next, you need to close the console and go to the folder with forge, find the file webui\webui-user.bat (if there is no such file, let me know right away) and open it with a text editor. Find simular line and add --api:

set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--api
Full file should look something like this:
@echo off
set PYTHON=
set GIT=
set VENV_DIR=
set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--api
@REM Uncomment following code to reference an existing A1111 checkout.
@REM set A1111_HOME=Your A1111 checkout dir
@REM
@REM set VENV_DIR=%A1111_HOME%/venv
@REM set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=%COMMANDLINE_ARGS% ^
@REM  --ckpt-dir %A1111_HOME%/models/Stable-diffusion ^
@REM  --hypernetwork-dir %A1111_HOME%/models/hypernetworks ^
@REM  --embeddings-dir %A1111_HOME%/embeddings ^
@REM  --lora-dir %A1111_HOME%/models/Lora
call webui.bat


Save and run either this file or the run.bat file.

You should see this line in the console:

Launching Web UI with arguments: --api

Wait until 128.0.0.1:7860 opens again in your browser.

If you haven't downloaded the model NoobAI or WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL, you need to download it and place it in the path \models\Stable-diffusion

Always launch Forge before the game and wait until it redirects you to the web page (you can close the browser), then launch the game.

let me know if there are any problems

Hai  Lulu!, Great job on this experimental game!, I just have a question on how to make it work with Stability matrix, since for some reason is the only way it opens the stable difusion in browser. Thank you very much for your reply

*Edit: I managed to get it work by simply adding the command line in the settings botton in stability matrix

Developer

You need to add the --api parameter when starting





I also highly recommend setting this to 1
