anyone?

I got those errors too, but continued and he seems to work fine. Other than the fact that he's dumber than a brick.

is he really?

Question:
If I want to add more aiml files I find around the net do I simply place them in the alice/aiml folder and run alice/src/admin/botload.php and let it run through the new aiml files? Is that all it takes? If there is something more invovled can somebody please help me?

To: Xelation
I'm not impressed with his replies. Some are decent, but they seem almost intelligent just out of luck. Most of the time he doesn't seem that smart.

WOW, I really like this bot and I have him working great BUT, he is severly straining my server.

How exactly do I UNDO the whole install? Sorry for the newb question :)

Thanks!!

Just do the instructions in reverse :/

I was thinking about installing this, but someone told me it can mess with your board. If that is so, can someone edit it? Because I have a large community and for some bot to ++++ing with things isn't cool.

wow this kicks ass!!

/me hits install

How do I undo the database entries?

HELP! when i run the botloader it just gives me a buncha warnings and times out after 30 seconds why? and how can i fix this?

Hi, I'm getting the following error during installation and it won't work if I just try to continue:

me too

i got it to work now, make sure you didnt make any typos like i did :D

Now im having another problem, the bot replies to new threads but not replies to posts... what could this be? Im going to recheck the newreply.php now!

Well, I get this error when replying to a thread -

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare gottb() (previously declared in /home/cyricx/public_html/forums/tomstalkerbot.php:21) in /home/cyricx/public_html/forums/tomstalkerbot.php on line 20

However if I hit the back button, then refresh, my reply is there and the bots replies =/

Any ideas?

O it also replies twice if that's any hint to where the problem might be :(

ahh okay, had the code repeated twice in the newreply, got that fixed.

Also someone asked about it using smilies they don't have. In the tomstalkerbot.php find:

in that emot = array change those smilie codes to one for your site :)

Only problem I have left is it isn't parsing the smilies in the posts. It's showing the code likes :louts: instead of the smilie. =/

Any ideas?

So like, all my bot does is reply with smilies also.

I've installed the brain several times and used keywords that the AIML files have but I still get a smilie reply.

What gives?

It'd be nice if it at least gave me some keyword responce.

ummm.. n00b question here.
How do i find my bots id number?

The BOT ID # is the ID # of the user you created, you can easily find that in your USER table in your database.

for example, I called mine Heather, and when I look at the mysql database for my forums, the ID is next to the username

You should be able to view your database via PHPmyAdmin then BROWSE your user table.

At least, that's how I did :)

thank you kaholz :)
However, i now seem to be getting the error everyone else seems to be getting. :/

Oh?

Is your bot only replying with smilies like my bot is?

Or are you getting a time-out when you try loading the AIML files? Although the instructions say to use botloaderinc.php if your files time out using botloader.php; it hasn't worked for me.

Also, some servers (like mine) won't allow you to have the admin directory CHMOD'ed to 777 which looks to be an important step.

I've been trying to get this to work for weeks now, and am only now giving up and asking for help :)

For those who don't know about this, if your XML is a component of php, you need to add dl ('xml.so'); in the beginning of the botloader.php file (after the <?)

That loads up XML for those who have XML as a component and not compiled with php.

Does the ADMIN directory NEED to be 777? Because my server won't allow that, only up to 755.

If I run the script as it is, it stops halfway through running the AIML files.

Is there anyway to insert this information manually into the database?

Which table is it in? BOT or BOTS?

Isnt there like a huge strain on the server with this hack? Thats what I heard at least.

this should have a warning about the server load

i reinstalled this and within 3 hours when 50 people where talking to him my load went above 10 :(

it is without a doubt a gr8 hack but i think maybe it might need rethinking :(

not insulting just saying if you install this your server will feel the pressure

Any instructions on how to use this mod on vBulletin 3.0.0 Beta 7?

the NewReply and NewThread files are different on 3.0

have you guys noticed that this version of the bot is not compatible with the latest version of pHP...

PHP no deprecated the

allow_call_time_pass_reference boolean

Whether to enable the ability to force arguments to be passed by reference at function call time. This method is deprecated and is likely to be unsupported in future versions of PHP/Zend. The encouraged method of specifying which arguments should be passed by reference is in the function declaration. You're encouraged to try and turn this option Off and make sure your scripts work properly with it in order to ensure they will work with future versions of the language (you will receive a warning each time you use this feature, and the argument will be passed by value instead of by reference).

See also References Explained.

using this on a onlder version of php works fine however on a new version it doesn't...

Any update for it ??

Would this be the reason why it stops after 5 minutes when I run the Botloader?

I figured it was XML, I got PHP 4.x

I'm guessing that's considered a new version of php. Hmm..

Welp, I've given up on this mod and since deleted the test forum and the file from my computer :)

I am not sure if that is the reason but i know after upgrading to PHP 4.3.3 it no longer worked.. PHP manual also states that a cal time pass referance ha been deprecated and it will no longer be avaialble in future versions.. so unless this bot is updated to not use call time pass referece then it will be useless.. although it can be turned on in the current version 4.3.3. it would be pointless as it will not be available in future versions anyway..

I guess the bot is a lost case.. Anyone know of anyother bot hack ??

@ C Birch, Is their anyways to make it so it continually answers...

Example.. I'll make a forum just for talking to the bot...

Me: Hi

Bot: Hi, How are you

Me: Good and you

Bot: Cool

(End Ex.)
thats just for instance because when I post a thread he answers... then when I reply he wont answer again... if their is anyway to do this I would love to know...

thanks

Here is my problem... when running botloader.php i get

I just installed this hack and it took me about 2 days to totaly figure out but I did it! The run was long but I finished the race. When I first started I couldn't get the botloader.php thingy to work, but I 777 every file and folder in alice and it worked like a charm. Then I couldn't figure out how to change the bots name and stuff, but xSaintDog helped me learn how to do that last night and all is great! :) So thanks for the help everyone who has helped, and thanks for creating this great hack.

[high]* Destiny Islands Clicks Install![/high]

anyone figure out how to make this work on vb3 yet?

I've managed to install it and finally get it to work flawlessly. But I don't know where to put the include "tomstalkerbot.php"; in the newthread and newreply.

Anyone got any ideas? I don't know much about php but it looks like it should be a simple translation of having the newthread/newreply php file call on the tomstalkerbot file after someone replies...

I just dunno where that spot is :mad:

ps. these clickable smilies ain't working

Installed in 1 hour, works well.

Thanks

Er... how can i get the bot to work and reply in vb3?

Well I've just spent ages reading through the first 30 pages of this. I got board so I'm running an install on by 3.0.0 b 7 board. Hopefully it will work as the files that needed modding couldn't be done as they are not the same as they were in vB 2.

I'll report back later

well here is what I get :(

Can anybody at all help me? I've seen this in action before and it's something that really can be funny especially for those times when you are online and theres no-one else about (bit like this thread :()

I've seen people post the same problem in here then instead of saying what they did to fix it they just come back and said 'OK now problem fixed'

Someone has to know about this. Otherwise it's the delete button when I have my monthly clearout tonight.

Well... if anybody would help... I've already got it installed, all the aiml is loaded. I'm using vb3. I just need to know how to make it post. What do I put in the files?
