can i program more knowledge into it ? 4 example i wont him to know more about cars is there i way i can specify specific questions and answers ?

check out customtags.php in side the plugins folder if not check out www.alicebot.org

cheers mate !

Installed and working great. :) However...all reply's appear with a quote. In larger threads this is not funny, so what to do about that?

to remove the quote you need to edit this part i think of the tomstalkerbot.php file

note i put a gap in the quote tags to stop it quoteing on here

im not 100% but if you remove this line

$rss = preg_replace("#^(.*)\[/quote\]#ies","",$message);

and then edit

$ttb_message = "[ QUOTE] " . $rss . " [ /QUOTE]\r\n\r\n" . $response . $emoticon;

to

$ttb_message = . $response . $emoticon;

but its best if one the good hackers on here helps has my php is not that good.

Not working, i get this:

[ QUOTE] Could you stop quoting please [ /QUOTE]

Birch, your solution gives a parse error.

Changing:
$ttb_message = "[ QUOTE] " . $rss . " [ /QUOTE]\r\n\r\n" . $response . $emoticon;

to:

$ttb_message = "" . $response . $emoticon;

does the trick. Quotes are gone. :)

Wow nice hack - 12 pages in 2 days isn't bad ;)

Will look into this soon ...

Also always keep the link to the zip in your first post :) (the direct link that is ;))

- miSt

yeah but its 11 pages for probs :p

I have added a link in the first post to the zip it self also :p

Nice hack :)
Has anyone tried this on 2.2.6 since yesterday (early in this thread someone was unsuccessful)?

Thanks,
Jbear6

Make sure allow_call_time_pass_reference is set to ON in your php.ini I think that should ger rid of that error.

In newthread.php place the code after:

Then the bot will show as the last poster, and newreply.php after:

I got to get something straight...

So you're telling me this Bot get better with it's talking as it post in your forum? Which means, it learns!?

I mean, think about it, if it learns, I can train it to be my moderator...hehhee

cool idea, I love it and I will try it on my local fist

I was gonna mention the quote deal but someone esle did thats not fixed yet.. cuz in large posts, quoting can be well, not good

NTLDR I wish you take a look and fix the zipped file as I see you added your 2.5 cents there which is very much appreciated :)

Thanks all I don't install many hacks but this one I can use but will have to change its language totaly

Version 1.1 of this hack is working, I have installed it locally and it does what it's supposed to. :)

I can confirm the zip file for 1.1 works correctly. If you have shell access you can CHMOD the files with:

Assuming alice/ is a direcory in the one your in, otherwise you need to chmod each file 777 via FTP.

botloader.php does take a while to run, make sure you've changed all 4 variables in the db_prefs.php and run botloader from alice/src/admin :)

Hi,

It's working great here.
Just wondering if its possible to adjust the frequency the bot answers somehow. I figured it might get annoying if it replies to every post u make.

Just some thoughts...

hp

I do not have access to that. ;)

I will have to wait for PHP to be upgraded on my server. :)

in tomstalkerbot.php

Edit:

$ttb_weighting = 100;

100 = 100%

if you edit it to 50 (50%) it will reply half the time

The following in a .htaccess file should work too ;)

Just added a updated zip file in first post that has NTLDR's last poster fix in the install file.

It works on mine perfectly. Any way to get him to only respond to one topic?

here are my forums: http://www.sfpunk.com

he posts in forum 10, general stuff. very funny. thanks for such a great hack!

for some reason it posts as a guest, i check the userid its all correct.

Working great here, *clicks install*.

I had some errors from the loader becuase subs.inc wasn't writable though, I didn't see that mentioned in the install.

Very nice!!
*Clicks Install*

subs.inc should not be in the zip has the botloader.php makes it so i have just removed it from the zip file and reuploaded the zip in first post so no other person gets this error.

Curious as members are and in this case moderators, clicking all possible buttons and sniffing in the outer regions of forums, they found this when they check Alice's ip address trough the postbit:

Warning: Address is not in a.b.c.d form in /blabla/home/bla/www.cu.org/HTML/postings.php on line 269

Ip address: 666.666.666.666 is ok however. :)

yeah i got that too :P

Excellent hack.

Req: It would be nice if you could set it to have different posting frequency for each forum.

fid.2 - Main forum - 30%
fid.15 - BotTalk forum - 100%

Also would be cool if you could make it post if it's name is said even with low frequency.

Thanks Birch :D

that one file it is looking for does not exist...

I have to ask why do you check this before you run teh db.sql?

I checked it after I ran db.sql and I checked the db for that under bots , but dont see what you are trying to refer here?

Any help would be nice.....THanks@!

That would be great blackjack. :)

Say "Alice" and from that point she interacts.
I wonder if you could add ### in the signature to stop Alice in all the reply's and topics you make.

wait...that file never created for me...

Ok, I will update to this version - hope it works this time :)

subs.inc file is made by alices botloader.php you most make sure the admin folder is set to 777 so it can make this file

just got my install file wrong. i say to check the bots id number because sometimes the botloader file sets it to a other number then it should be, the bot id number has to be 0.
