The system will probably be a little slower since days ago during the migration of chat API. I have made internal changes to allow the possibility of implementing things like chat duplication and message editing. Oh well... message editing will be coming in the next update.
In the meantime, here is the chat duplication. Which is useful to separate the story in different branches. Before it was already possible but it was a hell bit difficult because we could get lost and not remember which message contained the plot we were following and it was painfully slow to move between messages.
But now, with some changes made on the API, it is possible. Each message was tied to the chat, but now chats can share messages, which allows for quick duplication of chats at no extra severe cost. This is good!
Pick a new name, and it will send you directly into the action!
Now you can kill my server, i means, have more variations of your chats without loosing track of them!
There are still some things to modify in the system because each messages still remember their own and only one chat, but I think it is good that it is now possible to use it. So I will list the possibilities and limitations.
1. It is possible to duplicate any chat. There are no limitations on the number of duplicate chats and how many times you can duplicate them or duplicate the ones you have duplicated. However, doing so does add an additional cost to the server, so be prudent.
2. It is possible to share messages between duplicated chats. This means that if you have created a message in another chat of the duplicated message, you can access it by navigating forward or backward through the messages by using the forward or load checkpoint button.
2.5. Party mode is compatible. The characters are duplicated and not shared between chats except by their messages. Adding or removing a party member from one chat will not affect the party list of the others chats.
3. It is not possible to use the chat in parallel. Sorry, I will be more specific. You cannot use duplicate chats to generate two or more AI messages at the same time. They will be temporally locked to prevent data corruption.
4. Some glitches may occur. I been starving for days. i am pretty skinny
