Troubleshooting

LOOPING/ POV STEAL / REPEATING PHRASES/ GENERAL WEIRDNESS TIPS

FIRST AND FOREMOST: keep your context window small, maximum 16k. why?

with a big context window, R1 has too much to consider and it will glaze over your custom prompt. Here is a beautiful schema made by grinch

quality > quantity — this way (16k context), R1 reads: char+persona descriptions, chat memory, custom prompt, OOC commands, recent events. NOT the same repeating metaphors it's been using, etc.

tips which are tailored for my prompts will be marked with

1. Paragraph Length

stop the yapping

1. PLAY with temp. V3.1 likes high temps (0.9-1.8). if you get nonsense, lower the temp and you should be good

2. ADD: Keep replies to a MAXIMUM of 4 paragraphs. in OOC, then change in Custom Prompt.

2. Change your message

3. OOC

4. New chat

‼️ NOTE: most of the problems i have seen are from free providers, and there's only so much a prompt will do. you will not get the full, or best experience with free versions, so beware.

‼️NB: ask the ai what it understands about the story and about the prompt you're using, but take it with a grain of salt. asking the ai about it's own specs is redundant. test its abilities, not info you should check for yourself!

Fact-Checking

• What are the characters currently doing?

• Why are you doing [thing]? Why would {{char}} ever do that?

• The first half of this post {{user}} will be adding to {{char}}’s POV for the sake of explaining the scenario. After the divider, {{user}} will describe only {{user}} perspective and actions, and {{char}} will only describe {{char}} perspective and actions.by th0rne on Discord (combats POV steal for create-your-own scenario bots)

• What are the characters' positions? Recall for enhanced logic.
