Multiic [v.0.6.61]

0.6.61
Kas, qwen-tts, coque-tts, koboldcpp, music, refactoring, bugfix
→ new male character — Kasper (Kas)
→ local speech synthesis via qwen
→ in the win and win-local builds, for convenience, added a check for the required coqui and qwen tts libraries and download links in settings
→ koboldcpp for images — added gpu/cpu selection; for gpu, cuda is prioritized, if not found it launches vulkan; cpu is not recommended, but in rare cases can be useful
→ confetti effect in key story moments
→ new music
→ fixed a critical message history bug; by default, history is now limited to 18 messages (excluding system contexts) and the slider works correctly. the maximum value was increased from 40 to 50 (that’s a lot, and not all models can handle that, so if your local model starts struggling or api costs get too high, lower it to 27–32)
→ koboldcpp: now the image and text models don’t start together unless it’s selected in settings; set the launch priority for the image model — gpu/cpu; updated to 1.108.1
→ added info that Ava for sandbox unlocks as you progress through the story; the unlock was moved closer to the beginning of the part where Ava comes to, in story navigation this is the point — “in the park with Ava”
→ updated whisper (local speech recognition); the model was changed to the small and fast ggml-small-q5_1
→ improved local speech synthesis from coqui (xtts-v2); fixed behavior where punctuation marks were read incorrectly and bugged out as ‘point’; pauses became more natural
→ rebuilt the main screen layout; the custom character moved into a button in the bottom right corner (click the icon — selection screen; hover and click the picture — quick jump to the character)
→ improved snow performance
→ fixed determining the current relationship status with a character for models via koboldcpp
→ slightly increased the length for the image prompt builder bot
→ improved text model error messages: instead of an uninformative “crash” window — a short message
→ refactoring and code optimization; small ui/ux improvements

1. Extract and run.
2. It is recommended to create a Gemini key and enter it in the game settings (model cosmosrp – available without any keys or hassles, BUT I strongly recommend getting gemini, since cosmosrp/pai is a very weak model).
3. See help section in game

An internet connection is recommended for gameplay, as it is necessary for chatbot functionality. Without a network connection, the game operates in offline mode. I hope you enjoy it. Happy gaming!​
