This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

pls help, it decided to put me those notifs when i restarted my pc one day, my data is still present as shown in this screenshot

even after screenshot 2, it still downloads a backup but it doesn't work when trying to import it in an incognito tab i don't want to delete my data because i don't want to lose my characters. sorry if this isn't usual, i'm new to this forum and perchance in general

ok so i don't know why, but now, when trying to get on https://perchance.org/ai-character-chat, instead of giving me an error, it just puts my old character i talked to you about, like when i open an incognito window, and in the "application" section of devtools, it doesnt show any data about the character im trying to recover

i don't know what could be causing that, probably something i did when i tried importing it in an icognito tab, because it's now acting like when i was in an incognito tab when i'm not, i'm guessing that means that means the data that didn't work was deleted along with my character.

i also noticed that now, in an icognito tab, its no longer the old character, it's chloe

to answer your question, yes, the indexedDB has data but its not the data of my character, its from an old one

if my guess is right that the data was deleted, i know that not all hope is lost yet because when i manually read the .cbor.gz file, i see every message that was sent as well as other infos that i don't fully understand but i see things like memories so it's probably other data, so i think that there is still something that could be done. if i'm wrong, let me know

also, i guess that if there is no other way, i could just create another character, and tediously copy every message in the .cbor.gz file and remove the random code in the middle of each messages and paste them into the new character

On your picture it seems that you only have one character. Are you expecting more or no? It also seems that you have two DBs:

You may be able to probably fix it by deleting the other one (empty one). But if you have data on that, you might lose it.
When I tried, you could create the 'third' character, and it would add those messages from the thread to that character. Like so:

  1. Open ai-character-chat in incognito
  2. Import the Raw
  3. Keep data
  4. Confirm with 'yes'
  5. If it asks you to delete those threads, click cancel.
  6. Create a new character since the current character ID is #2, so the next one would be #3.
  7. The imported thread would now then show up.

i am not expecting more because, as i said, it's only one character i created a long time ago

when i go in an incognito tab and import my raw, i keep the data, type yes, then it asks me to delete the threads but when i click cancel, it import it anyways and now, i got this

it looks like i have the full message history, but i don't have the remainder notes and settings saved but i don't really care because anyways, i had pretty much nothing there it seems like it works but, just to be sure, does that mean i'm safe to import it in a non-incognito tab?

[–] VioneT@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think so, yes, but probably delete the empty chatbot-ui-v1 database just to be sure.

[–] gg5308@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

i deleted all data but the empty one was still there after so i deleted the database manually, then i imported it in a non-incognito window and it worked fine, tysm for your help!

No problem, thank you also for being patient with helping on trying to debug these problems.
