So uh tbh since its your very specialized interest, I think you would be the best person to come up with the entity description yourself. Just use your own words, the AI should be able to understand.
so what exactly happens if i un checkmark single paragraphe events? does it make the respones bigger? do

To add to this, when you have single paragraph events unchecked, I've found that you can add this little thing at the end of your action -> (extend the response to # paragraphs) <- swapping out # for a number to set the explicit length of the response the AI will return to you, and it will generally override any world/system prompts trying to manage response length for that single response. (this may also be used to temporarily correct the AI if it seems to return shorter and shorter responses in general)
Different length responses may have quite varied results as well - 3 or less usually leaves too little room for the AI to actually let anything happen, while 6-7 seems just about enough to have one or two significant things happen. 12+ tends be prone to jank though, unless you also provide a lot for it to work with, which may actually work out surprisingly well at times too if you want a lot to happen in one go.
You can also write "world" rules stating how scenes or descriptions should be, for instance I often put "Characters descriptions are extra verbose, focus on the character and skip describing the location" and (depending on context) when I prompt a literal request for a description (eg: "Game: Describe Alice") I often append "Do not add story elements to the description"
I haven't checked the latest version, so maybe this kind of "rules" may work best as notes
I had a similar idea (a trigger condition to alter the game flow), but after a few failures I managed it by appending a hint to the input, something along "blah, blah, blah" (Game: consider that X happens if Y is present and Z is ...., according to World rules, rule N should be applied)
My particular case was that if a character loses a challenge, the game should punish the character (the game picks the punishment from a possible list of punishments). The character lost the challenge, the game turned that character into a dog, conditions force the dog to become "feral".
Maybe the new NOTES mechanic can simplify the process, I haven't tried 1.1.6 yet (I need to finish my current campaign)
So been making huge progress trimming the fat from the over specific prompts. So gonna give myself till tomorrow to get it all done and will put all code up fully for people to inspect and adapt. It actually has done everything from insane body horror to oddly nice npc dialogue. Just gotta fix that looping bs again...
I accidentally deleted some of the original worlds, do I need to clear out a cache/files somewhere to make it redownload them?
It was mentioned earlier that one way to fix it is by playing the online version in an incognito tab and edit the world, just to download it without changing anything, then load that in the downloaded version (or whichever version you usually play).

Also if you delete ALL worlds, the game will automatically reload the default worlds
Also I have one bug report that says rollback has stopped working but I can't reproduce it. Anyone else has this issue?
i think i had one wierd spot while i was aborting but i think all my rollbacks worked ill keep an eye on it
I've had it stop working if you use the 'stop AI prompt' button while it's thinking. It just kinda get stuck there unable to roll back sometimes. Figured it was more of an AI thing than the game.
But I haven't had a single bug on my end otherwise.
I have experienced it a few times, and I'll try to pay more attention if it happens again. All I do know for sure is that a prompt will fail to process for whatever reason, and then the rollback function stops working.
I haven't had this issue anymore after the 1.1.6 hotfix, though now I have odd issues with the abort feature instead, but it's too random and rare to actually pin down for me. It's just that when aborting text generation, it usually just removes the very last generating response and sets it back to the previous one (which is what I've come to expect) but occasionally if it's used more than once it can suddenly reset back to even earlier points, removing several responses, or in some weird cases after long rollbacks, recreate a ton of previously rolled back passages instead.
Basically, see a clear divergence path in the story and go like this: start->path 1->continue some ~10 responses, abort response somewhere here, rollback to start->path 2->continue for a while, abort response, BAM somehow the story is at where I last used abort in story path 1 instead of the expected result. And it's not consistent either, but very rare.
