First off, thank you for this game FieryLion. Huge fan! I'm reaching out as I'm unable to get responses since the latest update yesterday.

I can reset my setting to the default server and the game works, but I had been following the instructions on this page (https://fierylion.itch.io/formamorph/devlog/885513/quick-setup-guide-free-openro...) and found an even better experience. However, now that's not working; stopped mid gameplay and hasn't come back. Do this setup no longer work in the browser mode, and if not, are there new instructions?

Developer

some of the free models like the mistral 7b had been down since Sunday. Before using a free model on openRouter please check its model page to make sure the model is online

Thanks for the quick reply and help! Obviously, this is not my forte, and I'll do my best to check that going forward. If there are other free models you recommend as alternatives, I'd appreciate it.

Developer

this one is good https://openrouter.ai/sophosympatheia/rogue-rose-103b-v0.2:free

Thanks! I still seem to be having trouble with that one, too. Here's what I have but it keeps failing. Apologize for being so incompetent with this.

Developer

there’s also a daily limit

do you know if there’s any good, free AIs without daily limits, or at least higher ones? Llama Free is really good but the limit always seems to run out quickly.

Developer

sry but nothing is truly free Q.Q

I see. Is Llama the best free AI though? Or are there ones that do have better limits?

Developer

each AI model has its pros and cons, rougerose is the best free model imo

Also did you see about the Shadow Raptor?

Developer

shadow raptor’s preview is corrupted ya thx for letting me know. I lost the original file tho..

the model for the Shadow Raptor is missing in Veilwood. Lacks a 3D render like the Dread Crawler or various fungi, leads the AI to be rather ambiguous about what exactly a Shadow Raptor is in comparison to the Crawler. The renderless Shadow Raptor seems to randomly develop fur, feathers, batlike wings, and other bizarre features as the AI tries to make sense of it without a visual representation, and at one point while I was playing a Shadow Raptor got so…’excited’ that it randomly turned into an honest-to-goodness dragon.

It seems like, in the downloadable version, saving a scenario that you're working on makes you unable to click on most buttons or type anything and requires you to restart your exe.

Developer

fixed!

Started about 10 mins ago, but any time i press Start Game, it says "Failed to complete action, please try again" and "Failed to process AI request" at the same time. I've tried deleting and downloading it again, and i tried the browser version too, with no luck

Developer

check your AI endpoint settings, reset it if you changed it

I made two worlds, "the professors lab" and "the professors maze" i have no idea how but while playing the lab world, my characters location changed to the maze in the location tab. (just on the web browser version so far) 

Developer (1 edit)

you might have started a game with the lab world, but loaded a save from the maze world. You can load saves from different worlds, but theres a yellow warning under the save name

This is probably just a me problem, but with 1.1.6, I cannot load older save files. It freezes, then eventually crashes to a white screen. Tried letting it wait for 10+ mins for "conversion", but yeah pretty sure it just RIPed. Idk if this would have anything to do with it, but the save(s) are 300-400 'turns', and only played on a mildly edited Veilwood.

Developer(+2)

oh, I’ll try to figure out something. Need to move the file processing logic to a webworker hmmm

The game and page crashes whenever you try downloading a save on mobile. (Probably the only guy using the web browser version on mobile but still)

Developer

any save? Even if the save only has a few pages?

I'm not sure but usually I take a break after about 80 to 100... Yeah... 

Developer

try now

still doesn't work. I've tried at 60, 80, 100 and even at 180 pages and it didn't work. 

Developer(+1)

I pushed an update that should fix this hopefullyyyy

Small bug on mobile, the location menu thingy pulls upwards but most of the selections are often off screen with no way to scroll up said list. 

Never mind, I fixed it by adding 2 extra locations lol

Turns out it isn't fixed. The menu can scroll downwards but not upwards and some of the locations are offscreen.

(2 edits)

i keep getting the error message 

(400). Either model name is wrong or memory limit exceeded model limit. 

And something else. Am I right to assume the servers are down?

Edit:And it's working again but a bit laggy ... ok.

Edit2:It's back with a vengeance... anyone else getting this issue?

Ok I think i figured out the causes ..? It doesn't lag in the normal worlds, only in my modified version of Braduhsley's Colossus world and it seems to happen most often when I try to go into one of the 2 new locations I added. 

Unsure how I broke it or how to fix it but it seems to be the cause of the lag and error messages. (I'm on mobile if that helps) 

Before it kept crashing i had just fixed a problem with my personal entities not spawning by checking the boxes in the location tab on the main locations. I then added 2 new areas so that the location menu could scroll allowing me to choose the location. I added full descriptions using Braduhsley's as guides and made sure to spellcheck everything.

(A summary of what lead to this problem of mine in case it helps)

Deleted 1 year ago

The character creator causes the game to get stuck permanently on a grey screen with no way out other that refreshing the page (mobile)

Developer

thanks, should be fixed now!

It was indeed fixed but now my custom world won't even let me start the game without the error I reported prior. 

(When the character creator was broken, my custom world worked perfectly even in the 2 new areas I added... I am so confused rn)

the glitch is back ...

Developer

I tested just now and can’t reproduce the glitch? If you are using the downloadable version I haven’t updated it yet

(1 edit)

I'm on mobile, as far as i know, mobile doesn't have a downloadable version of it. Also the glitch fixed itself... might've been a server hiccup or something 

Are there any more problems with the server now? An hour ago, I played on Veilwood as a error suddenly flew out, and now I can’t even start a new game. I played on version 1.1.5 on the computer.

(1 edit)

I'm on mobile and I'm stuck with the same error. I thought it was just my custom world but nope. Something broke alright.

Edit: tried on my backup computer and everything just broke. There's a giant white square where the player should be and the game won't even start

On my computer only bot broke, my player displayed normaly

maybe it's because I'm stuck using my old rotten potato of a tablet pc and using the web version but I'm also using my phone and the error was happening on both devices. Seems to have calmed down a bit however 

Developer

if you mean error when trying to submit an action or start game, my AI server died.

Developer

my rented server expired, game now relies on a pretty sad potato PC now. If you can, follow the guide to setup a free account on openrouter

Strange, but now your guide helped me. When I played on version 1.1.4. I completed all steps, but received only errors. Thank you and I hope you are fight off your server soon.

Where are API keys at?

Developer

you have to make an account at your preferred service, such as OpenRouter

Is this permanent or temporary

Developer

what is

Your AI server being down. Will you be able to get it back up and running?

Developer

unfortunately no, one server is still running (but this means half speed) I wont be able to setup another one until this weekend

Okay

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say something happened to the servers csuse it won't let me start a game anymore.

Developer

overloaded ya

Welp, poot. Literally happened just after i had fixed a glitch in my custom world too!

Developer

should be fixed now tho

It was for a while, started acting up again.

Developer

I mean during very high demand the server may drop some requests because its overwhelmed. Again the best solution is to use your own AI, you can use free options from OpenRouter

I don’t know if I was cursed or I did something wrong, but last night I played for a couple of minutes, and then he stopped, but error's didn't show up. 

mistralai/mistral-small-3.1-24b-instruct:free

my API key for him <REDACTED>

Now I checked them and my text still doesn't appear without errors.

Developer

please dont share your API key!

Okay, Sorry.

Servers on the frits again. My custom locations were working perfectly but now they don't 

(Side note: the location menu bug i was talking about previously on mobile is still a thing)

And the server is dead again ...

Starting to feel like this is a daily routine lol.

(1 edit)

Errr ... the web version is broken, i barely got to 16 pages before it started refusing to work anymore. 😐

Edit: Is this due to your lack of a server? Yesterday I was able to get to 170 ish without any problem... (This is not meant as a rude remark, just a comparison.)

Developer

What do you mean refusing to work? Do you have the error message?

The latest version v1.1.10 changed the way memory is calculated to be more correct, which might mess with something, I need more details to fix

(1 edit)

"Request failed (400). Either model name is wrong or memory limit exceeded model limit."

That's the error message, and it happens around page 16 to 20 no matter the world

Edit:(Tried to pull an "america education system" in the chocolate default and ate a nuke as a giantess in the other default world, both time the game wouldn't let me go past 17ish pages)

Side note for this: Why the heck is the AI more descriptive about gore than the chocolate !!? 🤣

When i tested the page memory glitch in the valentines world, the ai went full gory detail when i jokingly brought pew-pews into the game. Like it was listing stuff like brains splattering on the wall, how it landed, how the eyes popped and etc. 

Honestly I'm used to gory movies and games but even I almost threw up my breakfast from the extremely detailed descriptions. 😅

Developer (1 edit)

can you screenshot the memory usage details? Hover over the memory icon (its the left of the memory bar) should look like this image.png

(1 edit)

It won't let me hover over it on mobile

Edit:Ok i tried refreshing the page and seeing how far i could go but didn't even make it to 7 pages before the error code popped up

It won't let me do it on mobile. I've tried all I could think of to fix it but it ain't cooperating. 

Also i figured out the only location that allows you to reach page 17 to 20 is a location without entities, every other area just dies in 6 to 8 pages. 

Sorry if I'm not of much help here. 😅

Developer

you can reduce memory to 3k

it said 

"Warning: Memory limit too low! Recommend at least 3900 characters for better AI performance."

And when i tried to start in an area with entities it said.

"Fatal Warning: Memory limit exceeded! Endpoint may fail." 😓

Developer (1 edit)

goto settings, increase your memory limit to at least 3500?

It sound like the world you are playing just has too much text content and you need to use a better AI model with more memory.

You can still try to see if the default AI will work, even with the fatal warning

(1 edit)

it doesn't work at all, tried from 3500 to 2000, it just acts like I'm starting a new game every time... 

I don't understand why cause I've been using the mobile web version for about a week or so without this big of an issue (other than the usual server bugs) 

I like this game due to how I can basically bounce my own thoughts back at me with more flare so I tend to play upwards of an hour cause boredom. 

Developer

hold on hold on, set the memory limit back to 3900 and try again, what error are you getting?

(This is the answer to the above question to avoid the thread junk)

"Request failed (400). Either model name is wrong or memory limit exceeded model limit."

This one as stated previously. 

Developer

this is quite strange because it should have given an actual error message, the message your gave is from an older version hmm

(1 edit)

Honestly I've got no clue...I'm just telling it as it is.... I just hope i can go back to fleshing out stories for an hour like before. 😅

Developer

can you publish the world you have? I can test it on my end since you can’t share your save file

(1 edit)

Here but the problem happens in all worlds, even the default ones... like I mentioned before

Oh err... WARNING VORNY CONTENT AHEAD!!!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G5scqsrBbV7MHudYPfJyBTx-MvDoGkDI/view?usp=shari...

(+2)

Now that I think about it, it's acting like the 3900 or whatever active memory is THE ONLY memory you can use ... Like instead of remembering the last 3900 words, it only allows 3900 words total. 🤔

Developer

GOOD NEWS! I found the issue :) will be patched in v1.1.11 Thank you so much for sticking around to help me diagnose this

(1 edit)

It still stutters and show an error every 4 or 5 pages but it no longer halt entirely. 🤷‍♂️

(1 edit)

Update, after 40 to 50 ish pages it starts to struggle alot more, sometimes acting like it's starting a new game, the location menu is still broken but on the bright side, I can finally download my saves! 


Edit: It broke again ... now it acts as if every page is the start of the game, even if i make a new game. 😓

Developer

you can now click on the memory icon to see the details, if you can give me the memory details it would be great

This is from one of my saves, it wasn't lagging as much (still was) and was at around page 42

Developer (1 edit)

it should work, if you get error 400, reduce memory limit, you can also reduce max output tokens as that also take memory. The memory usage isn’t perfect and it could underestimate the actual memory used (as this is different for each AI model)

Also as you can see only 8 out of 86 pages are kept in memory, if you want the AI to remember more you need to use a better AI with more memory limit

(2 edits)

Bro I managed to go bmfrom 0.2% available memory to -0.1%... I'm starting to miss the old buggy memory system ... 😅


Edit: I keep getting this error now... it also comes back every 12 ish pages

"Conversation roles must alternate user/assistant/user/assistant/..."

Every time I try to use this. It dies after 10 minutes and never works again until a week later. And constantly says that the AI cannot produce a response. Is this a server thing?

Developer

do you have the memory details?
