## Description: TL;DR: Lets the bot answer you with a picture! Stable Diffusion API pictures for TextGen, v.1.2.0 An extension to [oobabooga's textgen-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui) allowing you to receive pics generated by [Automatic1111's SD-WebUI API](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui) <details> <summary>Interface overview</summary>  </details> Load it in the `--chat` mode with `--extension sd_api_pictures` alongside `send_pictures` (it's not really required, but completes the picture, *pun intended*). ## History Consider the version included with [oobabooga's repository](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/sd_api_pictures) to be STABLE, experimental developments and untested features are pushed in [Brawlence/SD_api_pics](https://github.com/Brawlence/SD_api_pics) Lastest change: 1.1.0 → 1.1.1 Fixed not having Auto1111's metadata in received images ## Details The image generation is triggered: - manually through the 'Force the picture response' button while in `Manual` or `Immersive/Interactive` modes OR - automatically in `Immersive/Interactive` mode if the words `'send|main|message|me'` are followed by `'image|pic|picture|photo|snap|snapshot|selfie|meme'` in the user's prompt - always on in `Picturebook/Adventure` mode (if not currently suppressed by 'Suppress the picture response') ## Prerequisites One needs an available instance of Automatic1111's webui running with an `--api` flag. Ain't tested with a notebook / cloud hosted one but should be possible. To run it locally in parallel on the same machine, specify custom `--listen-port` for either Auto1111's or ooba's webUIs. ## Features overview - Connection to API check (press enter in the address box) - [VRAM management (model shuffling)](https://github.com/Brawlence/SD_api_pics/wiki/VRAM-management-feature) - [Three different operation modes](https://github.com/Brawlence/SD_api_pics/wiki/Modes-of-operation) (manual, interactive, always-on) - User-defined persistent settings via settings.json ### Connection check Insert the Automatic1111's WebUI address and press Enter:  Green mark confirms the ability to communicate with Auto1111's API on this address. Red cross means something's not right (the ext won't work). ### Persistents settings Create or modify the `settings.json` in the `text-generation-webui` root directory to override the defaults present in script.py, ex: ```json { "sd_api_pictures-manage_VRAM": 1, "sd_api_pictures-save_img": 1, "sd_api_pictures-prompt_prefix": "(Masterpiece:1.1), detailed, intricate, colorful, (solo:1.1)", "sd_api_pictures-sampler_name": "DPM++ 2M Karras" } ``` will automatically set the `Manage VRAM` & `Keep original images` checkboxes and change the texts in `Prompt Prefix` and `Sampler name` on load. --- ## Demonstrations: Those are examples of the version 1.0.0, but the core functionality is still the same <details> <summary>Conversation 1</summary>     </details> <details> <summary>Conversation 2</summary>    </details>
