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.

Hi - I have just installed this hack and get the same error as you in your post 334. Did you manage to figure it out? Please share...

(I do get a first reply from the bot, but only the smiley. No second reply.)

In my case, it was a matter of chmod'ing ALL the subdirectories, not just Alice's subdirectories, but also the subdirectories of Alice's subdirectories to 777.

I tend to read directions literally, and not try to read things into them. In this case, you need to.

[JBMoney]

Every once in a while, it refers to itself as Alice. Is there a quick fix to change that to its username?

[jbear6]

You can change it's name in the "bot" table.

[JBMoney]

I think this is something different. The name is set appropriately in the Bot table.

Example of a partial reply:

"The ALICE chat robot can follow many things"

Also, it likes to cut off the first letter from words a lot, especilly after a punctuation mark of some sort ("?", ".", "!").

Could anyone send me their file to admin@invoid.net?

D.aiml seems corrupt in the downloads I get. Its the only file that returns 0 categories inserted.

Sweet!
Thank you - I managed to run botloader with no errors after chmoding EVERY directory to 777.

I am still geting the following error when posting a new thread:

Warning: fopen("http://www.athlonarena.com/forums/upload/alice/src/talk.php?input=will+you+ever+work%3F", "r") - No such file or directory in /usr251/home/banderse/public_html/forums/upload/tomstalkerbot.php on line 46

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /usr251/home/banderse/public_html/forums/upload/tomstalkerbot.php on line 47

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /usr251/home/banderse/public_html/forums/upload/tomstalkerbot.php on line 48

Here is line 46-48 in tomstalkerbot.php:

$ff = fopen($ttb_alicelocation . "?input=" . urlencode($rss),"r");
$response = fread($ff,10000);
fclose($ff);


I have checked that the alicelocation is correct and tomstalkerbot.php is uploaded to my root (forums/upload). I am only able to get smiley reply's and only the first time (no second reply of any kind in the same thread).

Any hints?

OK, WTF, now my templates table has 0 records in it (used to have 31000)

Which would probably explain why it doesn't answer...

[Mijae]

In what table are the entries stored from the .aiml files?

[JBMoney]

Radgam - It's working a lot better for me without these last two lines:

$response = preg_replace("/(\?|\.|!)(\w)/" , " $1", $response );
$response = preg_replace("/(\w)\s+(\w|\?|\.|!)/","$1 $2",$response);

They seem to be causing all the punctuation related problems I mentioned.
