TomBot v1.1 vB AI User Bot

Hi after reading the forums i have seen many people after a hack like this so here it is.

This has been installed and testing on a busy live server and it worked fine thats why im posting it in here right away.

I can not hack that much if theres a prob but i try my best to, i also add this is my first time so i have tryed my very best to make the install file easy to follow.

all the files you need are in the zip file just unzip it to your pc keeping the lay out how it is in the zip file and then following the install text file.

What does this hack do?

Basicy it add's a chat bot to a forum on your board that will reply to users posts.

if you wish the bot not to reply to a post inside of the forum its set up to reply in just add ### anywhere in your post and it will stop the bot from replying.

You may give the bot its own profile on the board eg av and sign to make it fit in abit better.

The bot will also learn things has it gets used more but if it gets to a point where it trys taking over the wrold please dont sue me.

**Edit: Never mind this, it works perfectly

Hi,

I have installed this hack as was stated in the install file, yet when I try to run botloarder.php all I get is the following:

Loading startup.xml

Warning: fopen("/platinum/public_html/forums/aiml/startup.xml", "r") - No such file or directory in /home/platinum/public_html/forums/alice/src/admin/botloaderfuncs.php on line 508
could not open XML input

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Everything is CHMODDed to '777' and all files are uploaded properly, but all I get is the aforementioned error. Sorry to be a bother.

Thanks!

Great hack but I have one slight problem. The script always addes an empty image to every reply:

<img src="" alt="" border="0">

Any ideas how I get rid of this?

Here's a pic of the problem I'm having. Everyone of the bot's posts has this. Any ideas?

Well that's suppose to be calling a smile, at least the works for most of us lol.

To address the problem that some get for fopen, this is most likely do to one of two things:

Either your host don't have the fopen option enabled in php.ini

or

Like me, im running htaccess and its blocking access to open the talk.php file.

Im still trying to get a work around im happy with, but its begining to irk me. I like this hack alot and would appreciate any help from a htaccess guru?

thanx

Thanks but actually I am getting the smilies just fine. This one is always an extra:

<img src="" alt="" border="0">

...at the beginning of the post.

See the new pic.

[Martin64]

No, that's not it. That's the post icon.

Steve: open tomstalkerbot.php.

FIND AND DELETE:

,iconid

FIND AND DELETE:

,'10'

Or you could just change the iconid to an existing id, but I recommend deleting it or all your bot's posts will have the same icon.

[Steve Machol]

Here's something weird. If I edit the post there is no img code in it. If I twen save it without making any changes the <img src="" alt="" border="0"> disappears.

[snakes1100]

Yeah heres a pic from mine

Hmmm....I did this and now the bot isn't responding at all. Let me try this again.

[Martin64]

Well, it won't respond if your message has less than 10 characters so that might be it.

[Steve Machol]

Nope, that's not it. It was well over 10 characters.
