I've posted information allowing the bot to remember discussions with individual users. http://www.vbulletin.org/hacks/index...ack&hackid=930

ah the power of a pentium ;)

I installed this, is it possible to slow the bot down from posting as soon as you post? I make a post and as soon as i redirect back to the thread the bastard already posted! LOL, maybe a few min delay?

There's a post in this thread telling you how to delay the AI's reply. It works.

I hope ANNA bot is way smarter then ALICE :D

My bot is stupid, and my members would love to have a smarter one :)

Unfortunately, ANNA bot is just as dumb. :) Which is why I won't be releasing her to the public...

Ok so far the installation instructions have been fairly simple! But im struggling here at on spot...Where in dbprefs.php it asks me to show apath to aiml. does it was want me to show a path like www.mysite.com/forums/alice/aiml?

sorry for the double post...but here is my problem...ok i ran the sql folder and its now on the database so i then went to run the botloader.php and here is my error of doom!

Help me please :(

Do you have the AIML files in /alice/aiml?

There should also be a startup.xml file in that folder.

Anyone interested in a FAQ bot? The bot would only reply to questions you have taught it and would therefore not clutter your board with weird responses. :p. The bot would/could be used board wide, and could come very useful if you have people just signing up to request downloads and whatnot.

It wouldn't need to be a FAQ bot either, as you could teach it anything and it would only reply if it it recognized the input, and to some extent you could fool your members into it being a real person ;).

I have modified tomstalkerbot.php from the TomBot v1.1 release to do just this, so if there's interest and if I have permission from C.Birch, I'll release it.

If there's interest, I'll bundle it with vBTeachbot, which I've found to be ideal for adding questions and answers to the FAQ bot. I've installed a FAQ bot on my local test board, and it does what it's supposed to. :)

Would there be a way to put in your sites own FAQ's as well. I get so many lamer questions over and over about various PC games and such

Yeah, that's the idea. :)
You'd enter your Frequently asked questions with vBTeachbot through your Mod CP or Admin CP:

Good news Martin, looking forward to it ;)

And the same reason i've decided not to release AnnaBot as a hack now as well. It's not worth the effort at the end of the day ;)

I feel that some of the answers are more human like (ALICE just loves to tell everyone it's an AIBot) but overall, there isn't enough of an improvement for me to spend more time on it! You'd be better off writing your own AI (which if anyone is interested in, i'd be happy to work with a group of people to write).

Martin64, the FAQ bot sounds like a great idea! I'd be interested if you released it.

is there just no way to interact the bot with the username so they atleast know who they are talking to ???

this would be a 100% improvement let alone making super bots lol

but good work all you that love this hack, its gr8, i wait for the day for that dumb ass bot to start getting his revenge :)

Does this mod really use up a lot of server power/resources and bandwidth? thinking of installing it

I've released a hack so the bot remembers information on each user after talking to them. It can be found here:
http://www.vbulletin.org/hacks/index...ack&hackid=930

It only gathers information after talking to someone but when you go back and talk to the vBAI Userbot is will remember previous discussions with each member (and their name and any other details the member gave)

Martin64: An FAQ Bot would be an ideal way to deal with the newbie questions. Add me to the list!!

[high]* Automated wants to me on the list aswell :p[/high]

Getting same exact error

You have not set your path correctly in the dbprefs file. Your path should be set to /home/finalfan/public_html/forums/alice/aiml/

Amy

thnx dood :) works now.

dood? :p

How can I keep the bot from using posticons?

Ok here is one. I installed it and it installed great. After the install where it says talk to tombot now well that worked perfectly. Now for the problem. It will not answer to post on the forum. I set the Member ID right and the Forum ID right. I even tried changing the Bot ID from 1 to 0 and then back to 1 but no go. Help?

Did you upload the tomstalkerbot.php script to the forums directory? Did you turn it on?

Yes to both

How long is the post you are making? It will only respond to posts longer than 10 characters.

Make sure the post is long enough ... I think it doesn't answer to one or two word posts?

:bandit:

The posts are plenty long enough.

Does it matter that the username I created is registered with a password?

but post only smile!!!!!!!!! some one can help me please?

No.

Thanks for the reply Erwin....Crap then I am out of ideas why it won't post then. :disappointed:

Can anyone answer my question that I asked here?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...642#post351642

This should work.

Open tomstalkerbot.php find change to
Please note the space in [ quote], just remove it.

Ok, thanks. I'll try that. Will that take out smilies as well?

Oops, misread the question. That will take out the smilies. I don't know how to take out the post icon.

The post icon is within the query to post the message. Simply match up the parameters in that query and set the icon parameter to 0.

I am getting this error when I run botloader.php

Can anyone help?

Here are lines 70 - 90 in botloaderfunctions.php
