WAS Node Suite v3  

WAS Node Suite has been going since 2023 on Civitai and on GitHub, and was among the first packs to put hundreds of nodes into users’ hands. WAS-NS has over a million downloads, and is used by thousands of users daily. It has been MIT since the first commit: use it, change it, teach with it, or run it in paid services.

The pack contains 687 nodes for ComfyUI, across images, filters and colour, masking, text and prompts, logic and flow, numbers, latents and sampling, files, animation and video, and Llama-Index in ComfyUI.

Llama-Index in ComfyUI puts llama-index on the canvas. Models, document loaders, splitters, indexes, vector stores, retrievers, query and chat engines, memory, tools, agents and evaluation are each a node, wired and queued like any other. They run on the models a graph already loads, such as the Qwen3 or Gemma inside a core Load CLIP, as well as GGUF files, Hugging Face folders, local servers such as Ollama, and hosted providers. Pictures and video frames are indexed beside text, so a graph can answer from a folder of notes, find a render by what it shows, or send an agent to look things up before it writes a prompt. The group installs on its own and ships off; without it the pack needs no packages. What it covers.

See NODES.md for reference.

Installation

Manually clone into custom_nodes:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/WASasquatch/was-node-suite-comfyui.git

Requires ComfyUI 0.14.0 or newer and Python 3.10+.

That is the whole install. Nothing is installed, downloaded or built, now or on any later start. The pack never runs pip on its own.

The first start takes a second or two longer than the rest. Your config.yaml, the state database and the wildcard, LUT and view-extension folders are written under <ComfyUI user dir>/was-node-suite/, and python compiles the pack to bytecode. An update recompiles, so it happens once more each time you pull.

Three optional groups want packages and ship off: document_export, which lets Save DOC write .docx, .odt and .pdf, llm, the language model nodes, and vector_stores, which adds Chroma, LanceDB, FAISS and Postgres to the LLM nodes’ vector stores.

# portable ComfyUI, from the ComfyUI_windows_portable directory
python_embeded\python.exe -m pip install -r ComfyUI\custom_nodes\was-node-suite-comfyui\requirements\document_export.txt
python_embeded\python.exe -m pip install -r ComfyUI\custom_nodes\was-node-suite-comfyui\requirements\llm.txt
python_embeded\python.exe -m pip install -r ComfyUI\custom_nodes\was-node-suite-comfyui\requirements\vector_stores.txt

Then set document_export: true, llm: true or vector_stores: true under features: in config.yaml. The llm group’s keys, model folders and servers: docs/LLM.md. docs/CONFIG.md has every group, what it needs and what it gates.

What changed since v2

687 nodes across a package of source files. The pack itself needs no packages, and nothing is fetched from a git URL. What it bundles ships in the repository with its licence beside it, listed in docs/THIRD_PARTY.md.

	v2	v3
Nodes	220	687
Default packages installed	20	0
Installed from a git URL	3	0
Third-party carried in the repository	SAM and BLIP, 75 files of python	143 files: browser libraries, fonts, eight face cascades, three sets of weights and two networks, each with its licence
Optional node groups	none	26 keys in config.yaml, 10 of them off out of the box. Per-node disable group.

213 of the 220 node ids are unchanged. Four are retired onto replacements, three are removed outright, and the section below says what opens in their place. Face detection, gradient maps, background removal, frame interpolation, seamless textures, colour matching, levels, palettes, masks and deconvolution all run on torch, on ComfyUI’s own device, so OpenCV, numba, rembg, timm, scipy, scikit-image, scikit-learn and matplotlib are not installed. Everything else a node reaches for either ships with ComfyUI or belongs to an optional group.

420 new nodes

Area	New	Area	New
Llama-Index in ComfyUI	79	Bounds	10
Three.js scenes	43	HDR and linear light	9
Audio	39	Affine sampling	7
Files, archives and documents	28	Everything else	157
Logic and flow	26
Layers	22

What each area does: FEATURES.md.

Opening a workflow saved before v3

No node id is renamed. Two nodes are now a different node under the same menu name, two ids are gone and another node does the job of each, and ComfyUI offers to swap all four in. Five ids are removed with nothing in their place. Widgets, slot counts, three menu labels and six results changed, and a workflow saved before v3 is carried across as it loads.

Four retired ids. Each one opens listed in ComfyUI’s missing-node dialog. Tick it, press the replace button, and the node comes back in place. Leave the dialog and it stays missing. The old name still finds its replacement in the Add Node search.

Saved as	Comes back as	With
Image Crop Face	the same name, on a replacement running the same eight cascades	wiring, crop padding, cascade choice, flip setting
Image Gradient Map	the same name, on a replacement running the same gradients	wiring and settings
Load Lora	Lora Loader (Advanced), same five inputs and three outputs	model and CLIP wired, all three outputs wired, LoRA choice, both strengths
Number to Text	Number to String, same NUMBER, INT and FLOAT input, same STRING output	both wires. Neither node has a widget, so nothing is retyped

The two face and gradient nodes ran through OpenCV, which the pack no longer installs. Their replacements run on ComfyUI’s own device and need nothing installed.

Five removed ids. Each opens as a red box where it stood, with its links dropped. There is no replacement for any of them; delete the node.

Saved as	What it did	What to do
Image Send HTTP	Posted an image batch to an address	Write the batch with Image Save
Text Random Prompt	Read a prompt from lexica.art	Write the prompt, or use Prompt Library
True Random.org Number Generator	Drew a seed from RANDOM.ORG	Use Random Number or Seed
WASDownloadImage	Read an image from a web address	Save the file, then use Load Image
WASNoodleSoupPantryRefresh	Downloaded the Noodle Soup pantry	Nothing. The pantry ships with the pack and seeds the database on first start

The pack now makes no outbound request of its own from any node.

Widgets and slots, carried across for you. Thirty-six dropdowns reading true and false are now checkboxes, and fourteen nodes that stopped at four to eight slots now declare twenty-four or twenty-six, drawing one empty slot below the last one filled. Saved settings are read back onto the new widgets and everything wired stays wired. The three batchers each gain a count output below the one they had. Image Save’s prefix_as_filename is now overwrite_mode, ticked where it read true. Logic Boolean’s 0 to 1 slider is a checkbox, ticked where it read above 0.5.

Three Custom Material takes a module file. Its javascript box is gone. The node now picks a .js or .txt module from ComfyUI’s input folder or a folder under paths.allow_read, and the module’s header names the textures it wants, which the node’s slots then read as. A body typed into an older workflow is dropped rather than read onto the menu, so open one, put the body in a file and pick it. Code no longer travels inside a workflow, so a graph from someone else cannot bring javascript with it. docs/CONFIG.md has the setting that permits a module to run at all.

Three renamed labels. KSampler is now KSampler (Seed Socket), Seed is Seed (Number Outputs) and Save Video is Save Video (Advanced), so none shares a name with a core ComfyUI node. Only the label changed, and the old names still find them in search.

Six changed results.

Node	What changed	What to do
Image Blending Mode	26 blend modes instead of 14, in linear light on the GPU, keeping values above white. add now adds the two layers rather than painting image_b over image_a	A graph using add comes out brighter. Switch it to normal for what it did before
Image Style Filter	37 looks, every graded one finished with a halation. The 26 period looks keep the colour their name has always meant	Nothing. A saved workflow opens on the same style
Image Film Grain	Adds grain that follows the picture’s brightness and keeps its colour, instead of blending a grey, sharpened noise layer over it. density, intensity, highlights and supersample_factor are replaced by strength, grain_size, color and seed	Nothing. A saved workflow opens on the new defaults, which give fine film grain
Logic Boolean	Its input takes a wired INT, FLOAT, NUMBER or text as well as the checkbox, and reads a number as true unless it is 0, where it rounded at 0.5. The FLOAT output gives 1.0 or 0.0 instead of the slider’s value	A FLOAT between 0 and 0.5 wired into it now reads true. Put Logic Compare Numbers in front of it, a > b against 0.5, for the old answer
Mask Erode Region	Holds the frame edge instead of treating outside the frame as unset	A mask that touched an edge comes out wider. One with a clear margin is unchanged
Image SSAO (Ambient Occlusion)	Traces rays across the map as real relief instead of averaging neighbouring pixels, so the shading follows the surface and no longer reacts to the image’s own colour. The depth_images input is now height_maps, tile_size is gone, and height_scale, ray_count, step_count and angle_bias set the relief and the tracing. The whole body is float now, so linear light above 1.0 is shaded rather than clipped, and a precision widget writes 8, 16 or 32 bit for EXR Save	Re-wire the depth map into height_maps, which opens unconnected. The other settings are read back onto the new widgets. Highlight masking now starts off, so the node shades as soon as it is dropped, and strength at 0 leaves the image untouched rather than black

Nodes

687 nodes across 67 categories. NODES.md carries every input, output and tooltip, and groups them by the config.yaml switch that gates them: feature gates.

28 are deprecated, which ComfyUI marks in the Add Node menu, and each names its replacement. They sit in the nine legacy groups in config.yaml, four of which start off: docs/CONFIG.md.

---

Features

FEATURES.md covers what the pack does, by area: masking, layers, bounds, filters and optics, transforms, colour and LUTs, HDR, instruments, logic and flow, numbers, text and dictionaries, prompt terminology and styles, files and archives, animation, models and LoRA, the affine transform, noise shaping, Kandinsky 6 video with sound, video comparison, execution gating, the Content Viewer, Three.js scenes and graph plumbing.

---

Model weights

Nothing is downloaded unless you ask for it. features.network is false out of the box, so a node needing weights it cannot find says so and names the key rather than reaching for the network, and Three Texture URL takes only data: addresses and the pack’s own assets.

Let it download. Set network: true under features: in config.yaml.

See docs/MODELS.md for more information.

Configuration

Written for you on first start at <ComfyUI user dir>/was-node-suite/config.yaml, as a copy of config.example.yaml with every key at its default and the comment that explains it. Edit it there as it will survive updates.

Third-party code in the pack

The suite is MIT, see LICENSE. It bundles 166 third-party files: three.js and three-gpu-pathtracer, HugeRTE, Prism.js, KaTeX and Mermaid, the EMA-VFI, SEA-RAFT, FlowSeek, MiniMax H3 latent upscaler and Kandinsky 6 networks, the DejaVu, Liberation and Aileron fonts, eight face cascades and three sets of weights. Each keeps its own licence text in the folder it ships in, and none of it is ever fetched. Every licence permits redistribution.

The measurements and charts of Dataset Health and Caption Statistics come from ZenTrainer by Nynxz, MIT, with its licence in modules/dataset/.

Versions, copyright lines, which licence covers what and a byte-level account of every bundled copy: docs/THIRD_PARTY.md.

The software licences place no conditions on what you make with the suite: documents, captions and images you produce are yours. Open RAIL+±M, covering one 8 KB embedding, is the exception. It claims no rights in output but its use restrictions reach any use of that output, including the intrinsic maps Power Preprocessor answers with.

Security

Outbound requests are off out of the box, nothing starts a process or installs a package, and a node input naming a file is resolved against an allowlist before the filesystem is touched. What the pack does and does not do, and how to report a vulnerability: SECURITY.md.

Contributing

Bug reports and feature requests are welcome as issues. For a change to a node, open an issue first, so its inputs and outputs are settled before the code is written. See docs/CONTRIBUTING.md.
