Website: www.extremechatforums.com
Original: by: C-birch
Credits: Rapid Gaming (for porting it to vb3)

What This Hack Does.

This hack add a userlike bot to your forums. You can set which forum he will post in and how often he will reply to poeples posts. He will try and build his replies off the text that they posted. This bot will learn overtime slowly from your users posts. I will also be seeing about porting over the teachbot soon.

Some New Features
acp controlled Rate Of Post
ability to post as bot and he will not reply
post count will not go up in forums where post counts are turned off
a few options to turn off and on a few things including the script itself.
Some other stuff i just cant remember

Fixed in 2.0.2:
Go advanced feature works for quick reply.
Bot will no longer reply when post is stopped becuase of an error. (aka floodlimit, to many images, ect)

Fixed in 2.0.1:
Fixed a few minor problems including using the wrong variable in the if statement for the random smilie check.
fixed the install.txt problem used a find code that was from one of my modifications sorry about that.

Upgrading From v2.0.1 Instructions:
These are in the v202 upgrade file

Upgrading From v2.0.0 Instructions:
To upgrade from v2.0 just make your changes to the new _talkerbot.php file and replace the old v2.0 one.


Upgrading From v1 Instructions:
Just use the install.txt and do the forum.php in the acp directory edits.
Add the new phrase and run the query.


Todo List:
Move all settings to acp settings page
fix the floodcheck problem of bot still replying when users post is not made.
Clean up the code more
Figure out more stuff todo.

great mod

got a question..

Phrases To Add:
Name: rateofbotposting
Text: Rate Of Bots Posting<dfn>Setting this to 0 will disable him and a number 1-100 will be his percentage of replying.</dfn>

i added it but where can i set it to 100 so it will reply to my posts?


ok found it :P stupid me..

love your mod

[weaver]

ChMod all folders and files to alice 777

I'm new to all of this... What does this mean?

**Okay I am proud because I at least know what the 777 does and how to find out what the current values are. I'm using an FTP program and when I right click and choose properties, I do see where I can change the CHMod Value. However, whenever I change it to 777 and click Apply, it doesn't change the value. Help! Also, am I understanding this part correctly... That the folder Alice and all subfolders and files should have a CHMod Value of 777?

****I have them all set to 777 now. It started letting me change it for some reason.

[weaver]

Login to phpmyadmin and check in the 'bots' table that the bot id is 0

Where do I find the 'bots' table?

**I found it, but have no clue how to edit them with things like favorite drink, etc.

****Figured it out. :ermm: But my bot still isn't replying to anything and I've changed the rate setting to 100 in each of the forums I want her to post in.

[weaver]

It's working now and I'm lmao... Great hack.

Can anyone tell me how to fix it?

I thought there was a bug, I was wrong.

Question though: when editing the .AIML with notepad, I get this error when running the queries: XML error: xml declaration not at start of external entity at line 1

What is a good editor that will allow me to correctly edit these files?

Thanks!

Well my bot was running fine until I tried to install a new unrelated hack. "She" said once that she wasn't feeling well and to try again later and hasn't replied to anything again since then. I've since uninstalled the newer hack, but the bot is still quiet. Any ideas? I have no idea where to even look to see what the trouble could be.

Btw, I also noticed the occasional extra <br> 's. I'd like to know how to fix that as well.

***Oh brother! Somehow I had deleted _talkbot.php from my forum directory. It's all fixed now!

One more question though... I have noticed that she isn't using any smilies and she has almost 100 posts. Is this normal? I thought the random smilie meant she would insert some into her posts.

I dont know why, but I can't download the zip file. I get an error message saying that the zip file is corrupted.
