Extremely cool hack. Installed and working perfectly.

Well done C. Birch.

Our Bot doesn't seem to be learning much :(

Are there any sure ways to test the bots learning ability. We have been trying to teach it that one of our members has four dogs for about a week now.

Although it's funny, it's getting annoying now :)

how much strain does this add on to the forums?

Nebby -- Well, that depends on how much your members chat with it, and how often you set it to reply.

BrAinZ -- My bot has gotten slightly more intelligent since I installed it, but not by much. I think you just have to have nice, long talks with it, and it'll pick things up.

Anyone -- I installed the "Teach the bot a Question" hack, but it doesn't work. I typed in the questions, generated the .aiml file, and ran botloader after hacking it, it successfully loaded custom.aiml, but the bot doesn't respond any differently to the questions I tought it than it did before.... why?

personaly i feel the Teach the bot hack worked alot better when its maker had it adding things right to the database and not the way it works not as it dont work that good that way where as the other way he did it worked great.

Here here.

Anyway, Just thought I'd share a few things.

In startup.xml, you can customize the bot's owner, boyfriend, gender, website, etc.

In tomstalkerbot.php, there's two variables to note:

$ttb_weighting and
$ttb_forumid

both of which are explained in the file

:)

This may sound stupid but how do I find what my $rootdir="../../aiml/"; is? I did info.php but I'm not sure which one it is.

hm... what file is it in.

I get this Error !
