Just wanted to say thanks for this update:

- PI Anthologies: Only put status in tags if in include_subject_tags. Closes #1332

I read a lot of anthologies and it's nice that the status is no longer in the tags column.

I really appreciate the work you put into this plugin to constantly make improvements.

Thank you,
Amalthia

No idea why, but FFF is claiming that this story doesn't exist, when it clearly does. https://forums.sufficientvelocity.co...-system.97590/

Other stories from the same site download fine.

Story needs login to view* so add your login credentials to FFF.

This.

Because we can't tell the difference between 'bad story url' and 'story requires login', you have to set always_login:true.

There are relatively few 'requires login' stories on SB/SV, so I recommend setting it for individual stories. But you could set it for the site if you like.

Something like this should work:

Code:

username:YourUser
password:YourPass

always_login:true

I decided to redo my ships code because I realized I was getting too many duplicate ships I didn't want.

Basically I want the ships alphabetical (I have ship sorts= true). However, for my favorite characters, I want them to be first in the ship. So when I have char A/FAV1, I want it to be FAV1/char A.

I got that to work with this code:

Code:

 ships=>^([^/&]*)(/| &amp; )(Dan)=>\3\2\1
 ships=>^([^/&]*)(/| &amp; )(Ella)=>\3\2\1
 
 ships=>^([^/&]*)(/| &amp; )([^/&]*)(/| &amp; )(Lucifer Morningstar)$=>\5\2\1\4\3
 ships=>^([^/&]*)(/| &amp; )(Lucifer Morningstar)=>\3\2\1

The problem comes when I have a ship with more than one favorite character. I want to duplicate those, so each favorite character comes first. So FAV1/FAV2 is both FAV1/FAV2 and FAV2/FAV1.

I got it to work when there was only two characters.

Code:

 ships=>^(Lucifer Morningstar)(/| &amp; )(Dan)=>\3\2\1,\1\2\3
 ships=>^(Lucifer Morningstar)(/| &amp; )(Ella)=>\3\2\1,\1\2\3

But couldn't get it to work with three.

Code:

ships=>^(Lucifer Morningstar)(/| &amp; )(Ella)(/| &amp; )([^/&]*)$=>\1\2\3\4\5,\3\2\1\4\5

I'm not sure how to get it to work with bigger pairings. Also, is it possible to consolidate the code like this:

Code:

 ships=>^(Dan|Ella|Lucifer Morningstar)(/| &amp; )(Dan|Ella|Lucifer Morningstar)=>\3\2\1,\1\2\3

You've show some code and described what you want. But you haven't described what you're getting instead of what you want, or included example story URLs.

I notice the images aren't downloading for My Name is Beautiful on Royal Road and Spacebattles, other than the cover image. They show up as broken in the epub.

I'm not sure how, but somehow I got it to work the way I wanted when going over it for these urls:

The ones I'm seeing broken in the download are also broken in browser.

Oh, good point about the images on Spacebattles but the images on Royal Road show up just fine for me on the site, like the ability chart in The Ceiling's author note and the line chart in The Unequal.

JimmXinu · 05-09-2026, 09:58 AM

The only images in The Ceiling and The Unequal load fine for me.

It wouldn't surprise me if image hosting site iili.io does blocking by user/IP like so many other sites if they think you've done 'too many' downloads.

Adding a slow_down_sleep_time might help?

Yeah, adding slow_down_sleep_time helped with the broken images. Thanks!

Curious: Why do some personal.ini entries break if not space in front?

That's just the 'standard'. I didn't invent it.

... Values can also span multiple lines, as long as they are indented deeper than the first line of the value. Depending on the parser’s mode, blank lines may be treated as parts of multiline values or ignored.

EDIT:

Although I am the one that decided to use it to create multi-line settings for FFF.
