## 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)
Interface overview
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
