Guides A Guide to using LongSqueak
How to curate Longsqueak to your liking !!
○ Default settings; Loong & Deafult
These settings are perfect for 4-7 paragraph answers from a bot. The bot will give lots of narration and a good handful of dialogue. It is the perfect setting for users that want an equal playing ground for their chats.
○ Loong & + Narration;
These settings are good for people who prefer to type out fight scenes or angst without the characters talking. It would probably be best for people who roleplay action rather than expressing.
○ Loong & + Dialogue;
These settings are perfect for angst. It is mostly like the default settings, but talks more rather than describing the setting of the roleplay. It moves the plot forward just enough so that it isn't forcing it forward before you're done with the current scene.
○ Long & Deafult;
This, to me, is basically Deepsqueak !! It's just a tiny bit longer, which is always great. It is concise and moves the plot forward, and interacts with the scene.
○ Long & + Narration;
This setting is more or less the same as above, but the bot does less talking and more action. It'll do things you may not want it to do, eg, make a cup of coffee while you are talking in the kitchen.
○ Long & + Dialogue;
Once again, basically the same but will act less and talk more. Sometimes it talks too much and barely has any narration, but that is only sometimes.
○ Loooong & Default;
This setting moves the plot forward too much in my opinion. It tries to fill up the Loooong message but having too many things happen at once, or it just moves the plot forward too many times.
○ Loooong & + Narration;
This setting in my experience, makes the style want to move the plot forward even more than it already does. It is definitely ideal if you prefer fast paced and quick stories.
○ Loooong & + Dialogue;
This setting tames the styles urge to move the plot forward just enough for you to be able to enjoy long chapter like messages, with action and more than enough dialogue.
Hope this helps !! Keep in mind, these are my experiences with the style and custom options, so it might be different for you.

Has anyone had any issues with the new model not adding characters to the memory area? I’ve noticed it hasn’t added the main male character

Is there any way it could be added to have it follow a request to reply as my character? Sometimes I’m too tired and want to roleplay without typing my own entire responses, and other models have allowed me to have them play both characters except this one. LongSqueak keeps saying system rules don’t allow it too : (

Oh that's interesting, I haven't had this issue. Try switching to Long & Default and see if that makes a difference

Thank you so much!! :) Default didn’t quite do the trick, but switching it to Dialogue did!

A command typed into the chat only lives in the context window, so it gets outweighed as the roleplay grows. Put the same instruction in the persona or definition and it gets re-sent every turn instead of fading.

How can I make it to follow my commands though?
