@klaabu I'm in no way an expert but I've tried almost a hundred Loras and yet have come to face this error before :/ It might just be specific to InvokeAI or to your Lora into Invoke. No information online about this error either. Hopefully a patch from Invoke fixes it, your loras look fun!

@klaabu I've found some info that could mean something to you!
Invoke doesn't support these:
OneTrainer LoRA

XLabs LoRA

More info here: Using FLUX Models on Invoke : Invoke Support Portal

@klaabu stumbled upon a chat on Invoke's Discord and they were discussing some LoRas not being recognized. The support mentioned the code being incompatible but eh, not much more info :/

@klaabu i did attempt with khoya_ss but for some reason, this version+ the illustrious version always ends up always end up skipping all the layer merging, ex;

lora_unet_down_blocks_1_attentions_0_transformer_blocks_0_attn1_to_k.alpha, not found in base model.

i'll play with it some more and try to figure out whats going on

Mildly annoying but just use the pony version. I did a few same-seed tests on images that used the Illustrious-specific one and the differences were practically negligible

@klaabu Sorry can you explain

@klaabu Ty, that explains why I was seeing alot of models re upped recently

I just want to say thank you Klaabu for putting up with this nonsense, and fighting to make a stand for the right thing. When i saw that your Illustrious version got nuked i just face palmed myself with my hands and literally feet.

@klaabu aaaand it's gone again D:

This has happened before? Hopefully it returns soon

I was following the discussion on their Discord server, and from what I found, the Pony and Illustrious versions appear to have identical hashes.

@klaabu I'd hate to see you delete your account over this. Even if the Illustrious version doesn't come back, there are still plenty of people using the Pony version. Have you considered writing an article about what happened? People who followed the situation could share their perspective in the comments

@klaabu The report backlog affects everyone unfortunately. CivitAI has been struggling with moderation and support delays for a long time now.
I understand why you're frustrated. At the same time, I'd be really disappointed to see all of your other work disappear because of this situation.

From what you said, it sounds like adding metadata only takes a few minutes. If doing that would help avoid these reports and misunderstandings in the future, wouldn't that be the easiest solution? At this point I wouldn't expect consistent decisions from the site anymore. I'd focus on whatever causes the fewest headaches for you.

@klaabu I've seen way to many creators such as yourself leave because of the incompetence of the moderators for the past few months, I really see hate to see you leave too man

@klaabu for how much are you willing to bring it back?

@klaabu Just wanted to let you know that this and your Amateur Style slider are by far my favorite loras to tinker with in Illustrious. Sorry for the hassle you had to endure. Your stuff is definitely appreciated.

@klaabu One small suggestion: while I hope the Illustrious version comes back, I think it would also help a lot of users if the title clearly mentioned that the Pony version works with Illustrious too.

Something like:
Dramatic Lighting Slider | Pony, Illu
Dramatic Lighting Slider [Pony, Illu]

People who are specifically looking for an Illustrious version of this LoRA would be much more likely to find it, and it could save some confusion while this is being sorted out.
