Configuration

中文 · English

This page is split out from the README as the main ST-BME user configuration reference, preserving setting names, defaults, and tables for quick lookup by feature.

Interface language

Interface Language only affects ST-BME frontend UI: the panel, menu entries, floating button, status messages, Toasts, recall cards, and graph system labels.

Options:

• Auto: follows the SillyTavern / browser language when available, otherwise falls back to Chinese.
• Simplified Chinese: forces the Chinese UI.
• English: forces the English UI.

This setting does not translate chat content, user input, AI replies, memory nodes, recall injection text, or prompt construction. Switching the interface language does not change the memory graph or model behavior.

Memory LLM

The memory LLM is used for:

• Memory extraction.
• Recall reranking.
• Consolidation.
• Compression.
• Small summaries.
• Summary rollup.
• Reflection.
• ENA Planner planning.

Configuration options:

• Leave blank

  • Reuse the current SillyTavern chat model.

• Fill in OpenAI-compatible config

  • Use an independent model for memory tasks.
  • Useful when you want to separate the main chat model from the background maintenance model.

Security recommendations:

• Do not publicly share exported extension_settings or browser storage that contains API keys.
• Debug logs are off by default; enable them temporarily only when troubleshooting.

Embedding

Embedding is the core of smart recall.

Backend mode

Backend mode is recommended first:

• Reuse SillyTavern backend's embedding provider.
• Usually avoids storing the embedding API key directly in the browser.
• Can use sources already supported by SillyTavern, such as OpenAI, Cohere, Mistral, Ollama, LlamaCpp, and vLLM.

Direct mode

In direct mode, the browser requests the embedding service directly:

• Requires filling in the API URL, key, and model.
• May hit CORS restrictions.
• Suitable for a self-hosted gateway or independent embedding service.

After switching embedding mode or model, run "rebuild vectors".

启用概率召回	false	Allow a small number of weakly related memories to enter by probability
启用反思	true	Periodically summarize long-term trends
启用自动压缩	true	Compress similar memories by extraction cycle

Task presets and regex cleanup

Task preset types:

• extract

  • Memory extraction.

• recall

  • Recall reranking.

• compress

  • Memory compression.

• synopsis

  • Small summary generation.

• summary_rollup

  • Summary rollup.

• reflection

  • Long-term reflection.

• consolidation

  • Memory consolidation.

• planner

  • ENA Planner planning.

Regex cleanup reduces polluted tags from entering extraction, recall, and injection:

• thinking / think / analysis / reasoning
• choice
• UpdateVariable
• status_current_variable
• StatusPlaceHolderImpl

Users can adjust global regex rules and task-local rules in "Task presets". When an empty rule set is explicitly saved, the plugin will not automatically add the default rules back.

ENA Planner

ENA Planner is now integrated through the planner task preset. For deeper implementation and flow details, see the ENA Planner feature doc. It can use:

• Character card blocks.
• World info blocks.
• Recent chat blocks.
• BME recalled memory blocks.
• Historical <plot> blocks.
• Current player input blocks.

Recommendations:

• Configure the base API and enabled state in "Config → ENA Planner".
• Adjust the planning prompt structure and generation parameters in "Config → Task presets → planner".

Hide old turns and render limit

These are two separate features; for deeper implementation and boundary details, see the Hide old turns and render limit feature doc:

• Hide old turns

  • Controls context tokens.
  • Does not delete chat content.
  • Uses SillyTavern's hide mechanism so earlier turns no longer participate in the main reply or ST-BME reads.

• Limit rendered chat turns

  • Reduces lag in very long chat UIs.
  • Syncs to SillyTavern's chat_truncation.
  • Only controls how many recent turns the frontend loads at most.
  • It is not context hiding and is not message deletion.

Important notes:

• If you need to run "rerun extraction range" or full history recovery on very old turns, temporarily disable the render limit or increase the count and refresh.
• When ST-BME detects that the current context.chat is likely only a recent N-turn render slice, it pauses destructive history recovery to avoid wrongly clearing the runtime graph.

Native acceleration

Native acceleration is currently a gradual rollout capability. For deeper implementation and fallback strategy details, see the Native acceleration feature doc. It covers:

• Graph layout.
• Persist Delta.
• Snapshot Hydrate.

Default strategy:

• Automatically activates based on thresholds for node count, edge count, record count, structural changes, and serialized size.
• Fail-open is enabled by default; when Native is unavailable or fails, ST-BME falls back to JS.
• You can use "globally force-disable Native" to fall back to JS everywhere.
