Donations help. ;)

Becuase then i can spend more time on this hack and less time on client projects.

shoot tim, what ever you did to that code, it seem's to be working better right now, i am not getting the saidi as often now, it is actually chatting a bit more and making sense.

when i get home tomorrow i will toss some dollar's your way man.........I appreciate the support of this mod.

Thank you. ;)

I presume we overwrite the current product and overwrite ewt_talkerbot.php to upgrade to v2.2?

I hope so cause thats all i did lol

I updated the main post with the upgrade steps. ;)

and yes thats all you have to do.

Excellent thanks :)

*Just remembered to click install*

Nice, thats was lucky lol...

Anyway, im still getting non comprehensible replies from it, such as

"Right now? Where did take ?Why are you"
and
"Precisely. Have you told many people that your ? "
and
"Are all ?"
and
"I think you mean "it's" or "it is" not "its". Really. is?Can we get back to business? What is your real name? Oh a web page."

Is there a way around this please?

Yeah I get the same thing occasionally. Most of the time the bot speaks fine, then sometimes it's incomprehensible :(

Every now and then my bot (named arsebiscuit) :), posts tags.


Great hack btw, I clicked HOTM.

Hey Tim, I appear to be getting a lot of this:-

Are you asking about my ?
I heard they have a good .
Do you still ?
What do you have that is ?

It does not appear to be storing the current subject correctly... this is a very very regular occurence.....

I've heard their are pointers or flags that store the current topic or category of conversation..... could you maybe take a look because something definitly isnt right.

is upgrading just a simple case of overwriting the product?

Yes uploade the ewt_talkerbot
and reimport the product

Yes, I put the wrong info in my post.

Look for the following line:

And right below that add:

I will edit my original post.

Are the blank spots coming up in the bot's replies only an issue with PHP 5??

Cheers m8, found it now, and added
Will see how it goes :)

So does this mess a lot with the database? I'd like to try it but I'm scared of screwing with my database (I lost it once already ^_^)

Also do you think it will work in a forum in Spanish? or is a whole language too hard

I'm running 4.x and it's doing it here. see my last message

I still would like to know how large the Bot Table should be. Not sure if I got it all loaded or not.

Makes it hard to judge if you aren't even sure you have all the data loaded whether or not it is messing up.

:/

My table shows:
bot 4.7 KB
bots 1.0 KB
conversationlog 4.4 KB
dstore 4.3 KB
gmcache 1.0 KB
gossip 1.0 KB
patterns 13.8 MB
templates 3.4 MB
thatindex 2.3 KB
thatstack 3.0 KB

I hope this is what you need to help you.

Mine is:

bots 0 1.0 KB 0
bot 916 Bytes 4.0 KB 0
conversationlog 98.7 KB 10.0 KB 0
dstore 82.0 KB 24.0 KB 41.1 KB
gmcache 0 1.0 KB 0
gossip 320 Bytes 3.0 KB 0
patterns 5.93 MB 7.90 MB 0
templates 2.71 MB 699.0 KB 0
thatindex 6.8 KB 5.0 KB 4.1 KB
thatstack 39.6 KB 8.0 KB 21.6 KB

Most are different to yours, what it means i dont know, but i do know my bot does not sound right at alll....

"What is giant sand? Also? Thanks for the information: said . "
"That was not a yes/no question. I think you mean "it's" or "it is" not "its". is ? is?"
You are quite welcome! Are you really a ""?

Still doubling something as well

"Hello there. Hello there"

I have mentioned this before but no resolution or reason...
Do i have to edit the aiml to sort it?

I don't have the answers to your questions. I just posted my table sizes for comparison.

Yep. That is what I was wondering.

Mine are:

bots 1.0 KB
bot 11.2KB
conversationlog 91.8 KB
dstore 89.1 KB
gmcache 1.0 KB
gossip 3.6 KB
patterns 4.5 KB
templates 3.4 KB
thatindex 8.6 KB
thatstack 41.1 KB

So, I guess I got all the AIML files loaded.

Thanks for posting guys. Gives us a reference.

cant wait till it works with 5.1

I sent ya a donation tim........i wish it were more, but that's about all i can afford right now........thanks for your hard work.

tim... is it worth dropping this and just working on the new version?

this one seems to have a fair few things needing a lot of research

Thats why im not trying to work on this one very much. I am already working on v3. This is just to hold people over while i make v3. ;)

Thanks I really appriciate it.

I agree Tim.

I'd put some VERY BOLD lettering saying that in your first post.

Then just let this sit as you work on v3.

It works - not perfect - but fun to mess with while you get v3 going. Also provides a thread for feedback that you might incorporate in the new version.

Thanks again for everything, BTW. :D

Does anyone get an error with this mod and version 3.6.1, or it is just me? Just trouble-shooting.

what error are you getting? I have a clients site on 3.6.1 and i installed the bot today and now i get double posting errors and cookie already sent errors from nowhere as far as i can tell.

Klick install
Klick nominate for Mod of the Month
Klick nominate for Mod of the Year (F*** no Button)
Realy no other Hack bring my Users more Fun!
Thank you in the Name of 100.000 Users!
Run perfeckt on 3.6.1 (ink. VBSEO)



(sorry for my bad english)

in 3.0 can you make that the Word ALICE or A.L.I.C.C.E automaticel chance to a self define Name??? (and maby change "Chat-Bot" to "{Board-Name} Bot")

My Bot-Girls Name was Boardy she alwas think she was ALICE....
I think i must send her to a Bot-Doctor...( Dr. eXtremeTim) ;)

Maybe you want to edit the startup.xml ... there you can define basics like the name of the bot, the gender an the favorites and so on.

Also you can define there "substitutes" ... they work like replacement variables in vBulletin. The correct syntax for the substitutes you will see in the file itself.

(The mine is not much better.)

same error with 3.6.1

My bot has stopped, it think it may be due to that last edit i was told to do, i am gonna look into it now!!

EDIT:

It was sommat to do with the edits here
I tried them again then i got sommat about its was a double post within the last 5 minutes and it was redirecting me to that thread lol

I got that the 3 times i just posted, Anyway, for now i have reverted back to the stock file

Whew, it's not just me then.

This is the error:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File:
Line: 0

So this hack is not currently compatible with version 3.6.1.

THX for help :)

i must only change the startup.xml an reupload?
Or must reinstall coplete hack???

(lets talk german....) :)

Yes. And then run botloader.php again so the changes go into the database. (Ja. Und dann die botloader.php erneut ausf?hren, damit die ?nderungen in die Datenbank ?bernommen werden.)

No. God beware. (Nein. Gott bewahre.)

Let's talk bilingual. So that the other guys here can see what we are talking about. (Machen wir doch beides. Damit die anderen wissen, worum es geht.)

edit startup.xml, reupload it, then run botloader.php again

oops... just saw meta's post.
