https://github.com/MinLL/SkyrimNet-GamePlugin/releases/tag/Beta2

🚀 Installation Instructions​

Install like any other mod through your mod manager, replacing the existing SkyrimNet files.

Important notes when upgrading:​

  1. The default values for many configurations have changed. We recommend deleting the folder:

This will restore all settings to default. 2. New users must still install the models during installation, same as before.

✨ New Features​

  • Item customization interface
    Users can now customize the display of worn equipment and weapons, as well as enable or disable their visibility.

  • HTTP server address/port config added.

  • Combat variant selection in OpenRouter config is now used for dialogue in combat. This allows fast models like Sonnet to be used during combat while retaining slow, high-quality models otherwise.

  • Universal "max volume" setting
    Applies to both spatial and virtual entity (narrator/player) audio.

  • Memory generation now uses its own OpenRouter config variant.

  • Sonnet caching support

  • Significantly reduces costs and response time.

  • Cache TTL is 1 hour (only honored by Anthropic; others use 5 minutes).

  • Dynamic cache-extension
    Allows the event history cache to span 3× longer than normal for better memory fidelity.

  • "The Party" kill attribution toggle added.

  • Characters no longer ship directly in the prompts folder. They are now copied only if missing, to preserve customizations.

  • Settings file also no longer ships in default location. However, this update will overwrite it once to enable new format and caching support.

  • VRIK Action hotkey support added.

🧠 Memory Generation Changes​

  • Improved memory accuracy for location and people involved.
  • Avoids generating memories for events within the last 8 minutes.
  • New default for max memories per retrieval: 5.
  • Memory generation algorithm is now time-segmented:

Segmentation Rules:​

  1. Segment must last at least 10 game minutes (min_segment_duration)
  2. Segment max is 12 game hours (max_segment_duration)
  3. Max 200 events per memory
  4. Minimum 5 events
  5. Time gap of over 60 minutes triggers a boundary

Examples:​

  • Conversation → Travel → Combat

In testing:
518 → 162 memories
Nearly same fidelity, significantly more cohesive.

To regenerate old memories:​

  1. Set "Event Preload Count" to 5000 in config
  2. Delete all memories via in-game UI
  3. Restart game
  4. Click "Generate" in memory tab (up to 100 each batch)
  5. Repeat as needed or increase batch size in config
