KLITE-RPmod: Total Conversion Enhancement

Overview

KLITE-RPmod is a comprehensive enhancement layer for KoboldAI Lite that transforms it into a specialized roleplay and interactive storytelling platform. Unlike the other KLITE tools that provide specific functionality, RPmod is a total conversion mod that replaces the entire user interface while maintaining full compatibility with KoboldAI Lite's core functions.

Core Philosophy: "Enhance, Don't Replace"

KLITE-RPmod wraps and extends KoboldAI Lite's native functions rather than rebuilding them, ensuring seamless integration while providing advanced features for roleplay, adventure, and story creation.

Current Status: ALPHA Implementation

The project is currently in ALPHA phase, featuring a monolithic, full-featured UI replacement that demonstrates the complete vision:

  • 18,000+ lines of mature, feature-rich code
  • Complete UI replacement when active
  • Panel-based architecture with sophisticated lifecycle management
  • Smart mode detection - activates only when users choose enhanced UI modes (Chat, RP, Adventure)

Technical Architecture

Panel System

window.KLITE_RPMod = {
    state: { tabs: {}, collapsed: {}, generating: false },
    panels: {
        PANEL_NAME: {
            render() { /* returns HTML */ },
            init() { /* setup after DOM */ },
            cleanup() { /* resource cleanup */ }
        }
    }
}

KoboldAI Lite Integration

  • Memory Panel ↔ window.current_memory, window.memorytext
  • WorldInfo Panel ↔ window.current_wi, window.pending_wi_obj
  • Generation Control ↔ window.localsettings (temperature, top_p, etc.)
  • Character System ↔ Custom storage + scenario loading
  • TextDatabase Panel ↔ window.documentdb_* variables

Installation & Activation

  1. Open KoboldAI Lite in your browser
  2. Switch to RP, Adventure, or Chat mode (required for activation)
  3. Go to Advanced Settings tab
  4. Click "Apply User Script" button
  5. Paste KLITE-RPmod_ALPHA.js code (18,000+ lines)
  6. Click OK to activate

KLITE-RPmod automatically detects appropriate modes and activates the enhanced interface.

Quick Start Workflow

  1. Import Character: Drag PNG/JSON file into CHARS panel
  2. Set Scenario: Character details auto-populate, click "Start Scenario"
  3. Begin Conversation: Use PLAY panel for natural roleplay interaction
  4. Monitor Context: TOOLS panel shows real-time token usage
  5. Enhance Experience: Use SCENE panel for mood/theming
