perchance

I've just updated the dynamic import plugin so it's a bit more helpful with the error message. Looks like you're passing undefined to dynamicImport.

The error messages in Perchance are, in general, atrociously unhelpful. I really need to overhaul it so bugs like this are easier for you to find. From some fiddling with Chrome DevTools, it looks like the first instance of this type of error is occurring on this line:

dynamicImport(document.i, 'preload');

i.e. document.i is undefined when that runs.

@[email protected] You also mentioned people asking for resources button on Discord. What are the most common reasons people used the resource button? E.g. upload, plugins, templates, ...? And is it frequency-of-access that makes the current situation annoying, or is it that newbies aren't able to find plugins/templates/etc. in the first place?

Thanks! I've adjusted the wording here - let me know if you have better wording ideas or any other feedback. Also, if you find extreme differences with the same seed (like, entirely different image composition/structure), I'd love to see examples of that, since there might be ways to reduce it.

I just tested and it seems to be working for me. Could you DM me a link to a character that has this issue? You can remove all irrelevant details, of course - e.g. description, image, etc. - just make sure to test that it's still not working once you've trimmed out all those details. Note that the "character share link" feature doesn't share any chats - only the character itself.

Hi, assuming you're talking about an image generator, please DM me the generator URL and/or the words/patterns they're using to get around the blocks that are in place for this. I'll adjust the regex replacements for the text to image plugin based on that

Thank you for reporting! Sorry about that - it's fixed now.

Thank you 🫡 I will eventually get around to all your great suggestions (and the feedback from other users here) once I've got a handle on this issue and a few other important things. As always, feel free to re-ping me in comments and/or repost your most important feature requests and bug reports (once every couple of weeks or so) so I can bump them up the priority list.

Yes, sorry about this. This is priority number 1 for me right now - I've been working for the last few days on fixing this. It has turned out to be harder to fix than I anticipated. Some sort of GPU memory error due to particular driver versions or something. That said, I should be able to fix it within the next day and a half (~36 hours from the time of this comment) unless something goes terribly wrong. I'm going to upgrade the whole stack, which should fix this issue, and also give a bit of a performance boost (slightly faster text generation) as a bonus.

i have been informed that malware can be embedded within favicons

You have unfortunately been misinformed on this matter. From the perspective of web browsers, favicons are just images, and will never be executed as code. You might be thinking of web-application-specific exploits - e.g. related to vulnerable WordPress favicon plugins or something. This is not at all relevant to Perchance. Using this plugin is completely safe.

That said, I appreciate the concern!

Hmm I can't replicate this, but I did just try a quick adjustment based on a hunch, which might fix it. Can you check? If it doesn't work, can you let me know which browser + device you're using?

Thanks for reporting this! A couple of the GPUs in the text generation cluster were fried. Normally they'd throw an error and I'd detect it and remove them, but with this particular error they just output gibberish without any explicit error. I've added code to detect this now, so the issue should be resolved. Please let me know if it occurs for you again.

Edit: Hmm. Still getting reports of this in the feedback. If anyone can provide example outputs of the gibberish that you're seeing, that would be great.

I've solved the original issue already, but it sounds like you've found another (related) issue. If you answer each of these questions, I will hopefully be able to solve it:

1. Can you please share a screenshot of the error?
2. Which OS version and Safari version are you using?
3. Does the import fail if you use incognito/private browsing mode?
4. Does the import fail for newly created export files (e.g. open incognito, create a chat, export it, and then try to re-import it), or do you only get the error for old export files (e.g. ones you created a week ago or more, roughly)
