* tweak director command, prompt reset, ux display

* tweak director message ux

* allow clearing of prompt log

* remove auto adding of quotes if neither quote or * are present

* command to reset long term memory for the scene

* rebuilding history will now also rebuild long term memory

* direct scene template

* fix scene time reset

* dialogue template tweaks

* better dialog format fixing

* some dialogue template adjustments

* adjust default values of director agent

* keep track of scene saved/unsaved status and confirm loading a different scene if current scene is unsaved

* prompt fixes

* remove the collection on recommitting the seen to memory, as the embeddings may have changed

* change to the official python api for the openai client and make it async

* prompt tweaks

* world state prompt parsing fixes

* improve handling of json responses

* 0 seconds ago changed to moments ago

* move memory context closer to scene

* token counts for openai client

* narrator agent option: narrate passage of time

* gitignore

* remove memory id

* refactor world state with persistence to chromadb (wip)

* remove world state update instructions

* dont display blank emotion in world state

* openai gpt-4 turbo support

* conversation agent extra instructions

* track prompt response times

* Yi and UtopiaXL

* long term memory retrieval improvements during conversations

* narrate scene tweaks

* conversation ltm augment tweaks

* hide subconfig if parent config isnt enabled

* ai assisted memory recall during conversation default to off

* openai json_object coersion only on model that supports it

openai client emit prompt processing time

* 0.12.0

* remove prompt number from prompt debug list

* add prompt number back in but shift it to the upper row

* narrate time passage hard content limit restriction for now as gpt-4
would just write a whole chapter.

-| [Nous Hermes LLama2](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Nous-Hermes-Llama2-GPTQ) | 13B model | My go-to model for 13B parameters. It's good at roleplay and also smart enough to handle the world state and narrative tools. A 13B model loaded via exllama also allows you run chromadb with the xl instructor embeddings off of a single 4090. |
-| [Xwin-LM-13B](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Xwin-LM-13B-V0.1-GPTQ) | 13B model | Really strong model, roleplaying capability still needs more testing |
-| [MythoMax](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/MythoMax-L2-13B-GPTQ) | 13B model | Similar quality to Hermes LLama2, but a bit more creative. Rarely fails on JSON responses. |
-| [Synthia v1.2 34B](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Synthia-34B-v1.2-GPTQ) | 34B model | Cannot be run at full context together with chromadb instructor models on a single 4090. But a great choice if you're running chromadb with the default embeddings (or on cpu). |
-| [Xwin-LM-70B](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Xwin-LM-70B-V0.1-GPTQ) | 70B model | Great choice if you have the hardware to run it (or can rent it). |
-| [Synthia v1.2 70B](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Synthia-70B-v1.2-GPTQ) | 70B model | Great choice if you have the hardware to run it (or can rent it). |
-| [GPT-4](https://platform.openai.com/) | Remote         | Still the best for consistency and reasoning, but is heavily censored. While talemate will send a general "decensor" system prompt, depending on the type of content you want to roleplay, there is a chance your key will be banned. **If you do use this make sure to monitor your api usage, talemate tends to send a lot more requests than other roleplaying applications.** |
-| [GPT-3.5-turbo](https://platform.openai.com/)                 | Remote         | It's really inconsistent with JSON responses, plus its probably still just as heavily censored as GPT-4. If you want to run it i'd suggest running it for the conversation agent, and use GPT-4 for the other agents. **If you do use this make sure to monitor your api usage, talemate tends to send a lot more requests than other roleplaying applications.** |

Avoid including any character's internal thoughts, feelings, or dialogue. Your narration should directly respond to '{{ last_line }}', either by elaborating on the immediate scene or by subtly advancing the plot. Generate exactly one sentence of new narration. If the character is trying to determine some state, truth or situation, try to answer as part of the narration.
+
+Be creative and generate something new and interesting.
