Jump to Scrivener project website

Scrivener is a game about co-authoring the future. Played on Discord, participants respond to crises and opportunities that happen in a near-future which has been gripped by the emerging far-right. A fictional Decentralizd Autonomous Organization exists to challenge this new world order, and through each decision the narrative is co-written by the players.

Ollama setup

I had trouble with the default port, hence changing it to 8888, but whatever works. Oddly enough, I still had to make the request to the default port. I'm using the mistral model.

curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
ollama pull mistral
export OLLAMA_HOST=localhost:8888

Node setup

Install node via npm

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc
nvm install v18.17.0
npm install

Make sure to add the .env file which includes the bot key

Automatically load scrivener on boot

...

Run Local

export OLLAMA_HOST=localhost:8888
# ollama serve  # this turns out to not be necessary if ollama is self-starting on computer as a service
node index.mjs

(Note that you may need to run the export command for the ollama bug before serving)

Run Remote

This is not necessary if ollama is running as a service (which it should be by default):

ssh vision@192.168.0.136
cd weird-economies
export OLLAMA_HOST=localhost:8888
screen
ollama serve

in another tab

ssh vision@192.168.0.136
cd weird-economies
screen
node index.mjs

CTRL+A, CTRL+D (detaches terminal) screen -r to reattach

For reference, requesting a response from terminal looks like this

curl http://localhost:11434/api/chat -d '{
  "model": "mistral",
  "messages": [
    { "role": "user", "content": "why is the sky blue?" }
  ]
}'

Useful parameters for ollama

stream: false (wait until entire text is returned instead of trickling it in a word at a time)

Bot setup

Go to Disrord Developer Portal
Generate a URL for the server admin on the OAUTH2 tab in developers panel, in our case we did not select any permissions
Admin should restrict access as needed
Get a list of users who should have access to the game (or credits, whatever)
Create a pinned message which explains the game and/or welcomes players
