Troubleshooting Imports

Common Issues

• Try re-exporting from source
• Check file isn't corrupted

Missing Data After Import

• Source might use older format (V1/V2)
• Some platform-specific data doesn't transfer
• Manually add missing information
• Check export options on source platform

Character Looks Different

• Different models interpret definitions differently
• Adjust temperature settings
• Try different AI models
• Refine character definition for Tiny Land

Lorebook Not Working

• Check lorebook entries imported correctly
• Verify keywords are set up properly
• Enable lorebook in chat settings
• Test with specific trigger words

Best Practices

Before Exporting

• Set appropriate NSFW flags
• Review all fields for personal information

Before Importing

• Check source reputation (avoid malicious content)

File Management

• Use descriptive filenames: "CharacterName_v1.0.png"
• Organize exports in folders by category
• Keep backups in cloud storage
• Version your characters (update character_version field)

Sharing Characters

• Make character public on Tiny Land for easy sharing
• Or export and share PNG file directly
