Highlights
Custom Context
- AI Context → Custom — paste free-text notes for the character you’re editing
- Toggle include on or off without deleting the text
- Feeds Orion and the AI toolbar (when enabled)
- Stays in this browser only — not on the card, not in PNG/JSON export, not in SillyTavern fields
- Token usage counts toward the panel estimate, with soft warnings for huge pastes
Lorebook
- Enable All / Disable All for context lives next to the entry list (no need to open book settings)
Sampler defaults and presets
- New installs: streaming, reasoning, and show reasoning on by default
- Default samplers start neutral (including top-k off) with 8K context
- Quick presets Creative / Balanced / Factual updated to a modern min-p–first stack
- Applying a preset no longer overwrites your context length
Small polish
- Vault cards without art show a single No image label (no duplicate badge)
Upgrade
Client-only app. Open the hosted site or rebuild locally; no server migration.
bash
git clone https://github.com/spaceman2408/CharacterVault
cd CharacterVault
npm install
npm run devLocal data from 1.1.0 should keep working. Hard refresh if the UI looks stale after deploy.
Note: Existing AI settings you already saved keep their values. The new streaming / sampler defaults apply to fresh installs and “reset to defaults.”
