Custom MvM also available for early hours (42 player limit) and other gamemodes like Death Run or VSH for after-hours.

This server uses a plugin that changes the stats of some weapons. See https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=2717299 for more info. All reverts except for the old airblast are active by default, and most reverts can be toggled in-game.

Consider installing mastercomfig if you have frequent frame drops, bad hitreg, poor network connectivity, or are new to the game. See https://mastercomfig.com/ for easy installation. It is STRONGLY recommended that all players install some preset of mastercomfig since TF2's default netcode settings have not been changed since 2007.

THERE IS NO DISCORD SERVER ASSOCIATED WITH THIS THREAD. Any post mentioning "the /mlp/ TF2 Discord" is a troll and should be ignored.
/vg/-style chatroom-posting is OFF-TOPIC and should be reported as such.

No one is judged for being new to the game, and skill level across the playerbase varies.
Join the fun!

Backends:

>https://github.com/LykosAI/StabilityMatrix
This is more of a one click manager that you can install / run the other backends though. Easiest by far. Recommended to download Forge through it and use its built-in Civitai browser to download models with.

For models not through the in-built downloader just download and drop them in Stability_Matrix\Data\Models\* (lora folder if a lora, TextualInversion if embedding, stablediffusion if checkpoint...)

>https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge
Faster / more efficient version of Automatic1111 with some helpful extensions built-in. I would recommend installing this through Stability Matrix.

>Stable Diffusion Automatic1111
https://github.com/automatic1111/stable-diffusion-webui
The original for posterity's sake.

>ComfyUI
https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI?tab=readme-ov-file#installing
Has a learning curve but is extremely customizable and usually has the latest methods / papers implemented first.

>"But I don't have a decent GPU"
NovelAI also does great pony: https://novelai.net
You could also use a service like civitai.

Models:

>Pony Diffusion V6 XL
https://civitai.com/models/257749/pony-diffusion-v6-xl?modelVersionId=290640

>Autism Mix (Alternative model based upon pony diffusion, I prefer the DPO version of it. Better anatomy / more coherent.)
https://civitai.com/models/288584?modelVersionId=324619

>Seaart (Less pony knowledge but has artist tags and is very high quality.)

Grab a image you like the style of from the desired model's citvia's site and drop it onto the PNG info tab in SD, you can then click send to text to image to reuse its generation info for your own images. Change the seed so you do not get just the same image. For tags on e621 use underscores between multi word prompts.

Welcome to the Pony Voice Preservation Project!
youtu.be/730zGRwbQuE

The Pony Preservation Project is a collaborative effort by /mlp/ to build and curate pony datasets for as many applications in AI as possible.

Technology has progressed such that a trained neural network can generate convincing voice clips, drawings and text for any person or character using existing audio recordings, artwork and fanfics as a reference. As you can surely imagine, AI pony voices, drawings and text have endless applications for pony content creation.

AI is incredibly versatile, basically anything that can be boiled down to a simple dataset can be used for training to create more of it. AI-generated images, fanfics, wAIfu chatbots and even animation are possible, and are being worked on here.

Any anon is free to join, and there are many active tasks that would suit any level of technical expertise. If you’re interested in helping out, take a look at the quick start guide linked below and ask in the thread for any further detail you need.

EQG and G5 are not welcome.

We were informed yesterday that our venue, Wyndham Orlando Resort International Drive, is closing at the end of June.

So, what does this mean for Mare Fair and you?

From our side of things, we can promise you all that the entire Mare Fair team is on top of the issue, and we are confident we can handle it appropriately. We are working vigorously to find a new venue, aiming to keep the same dates, and to ensure Mare Fair can continue this year. It may be some time until we have updates regarding all of this, but do know we are doing everything we can from our side.

Now the important part—how will this affect you? The best advice we can give for the time being is that if you haven’t made any travel plans for the convention yet, don’t. If you already have plans made, flights booked, or days off of work set, we implore you to follow closely with any updates we provide regarding the status of the con and venue.

Mare Fair is our passion project, and something we put immense effort in to ensure you all have an incredible weekend. This may be a large bump in the road, but the mares keep us going, and we’re going to do everything we can to deliver the convention you all are excited for.

Any updates regarding the venue will be posted as soon as they become available.

Official information will be posted from our staff using these tripcodes:

Assuming the pegasi have kept to their schedule, Equestria should be looking pretty colorful over the next month. Plenty of ponies are doing their part to see a floral kaleidoscope come to life. And, conditions willing, such sights will be widespread soon.
There's time yet, but some are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the seasonal highlight!
