quite a few minor random things.

To Upgrade from 2.2.4:

Upload all files import the new product.

To upgrade from 2.2.3:

Reupload src folder from the alice dir, install the product file, and upload ewt_talkerbot.php.

To upgrade from 2.2.2:

Reupload the src folder from the alice dir and also re upload the ewt_talkerbot.php file. No changes were made to the product file.

To upgrade from 2.2.1:

Overwrite the current product
Overwrite ewt_talkerbot.php


To Upgrade From 2.2.0:

Overwrite the current product. Upload ewt_talkerbot.php


To Upgrade From A Previous Version:

Just follow the install steps in the files becuase yea there was no prior version for vb3.6 so you should have no file edits to redo.

This version is much cleaner overall then all the previous version. I have removed a good deal of the code in the core alice bot that used to cuase errors. I have moved all the control settings into the admincp. Plus many other things including a much cleaner ewt_talkerbot.php file then the original _talkerbot.php file.


About v3

Yes version 3 is being planned out yet again. I had it finished at one point only to lose it when my computer was stolen a while back. So now im planning even more stuff for version 3. I will post information about v3 later.


AIML File:

I need aiml files. If you know where to get them or have a bunch you can send me please contact me via pm on here so I can get the files. (Needing more for the base package and some to start playing with the aiml sharing features of v3 )

Anyone found a way round this duplicate posting/quick reply problem?

[eXtremeTim]

Its only a cosmetic problem cuased by the posting delay and users replying quickly. I will be changing the delay time soon to a smaller value to hopefully reduce or eliminate this issue.

Great, thanks!

romeo, try this one

It's still working on my 3.6, just overwrite the ewt file.

[tokosan]

great mod but had to disable due to too many bugs in 3.6.1
bugs i found:
1. every time you post, you see duplicate post error (you can still post tho)
2. when you create a thread, you get that header error almost every time
3. bot doesnt make sense sometimes (uses . as if the bot thinks . is a member)
4. replies WAY too fast after you post sometimes

[hotwheels]

K, i will look at it more tonite......thanks for trying it.

[hotwheels]

romeo, what version of mysql are you running at your site?

[Romeos Tune]

4.027.....What about yourself?

[hotwheels]

hey romeo, just a couple quick questions?

1st, did you go into your admin panel and actually give your bot a userid? When i set mine up, i went into add new user which his name is dugdug, then i gave him a password and set him up as a supermoderator. This setting give's the bot the understanding of what he is supposed to do, without it, it will post up an error call.

2nd, when you go into the vbulletin options, scroll down to where the talkerbot settings are at, how are your's set? Mine are set as such:

talkerbot active: yes
talkerbot quote: no
User To Associate The Bots Posts To: which is the number of the userid i just set up, whom's name is dugdug and his user id is 109 per say.
Forums Talkerbot Should Reply In: I set up his own forum area but in here i just put 1 forum number like, 131 persay....
Forums Talkerbot Should Read Posts In: this number needs to be the same as the above number, so you would add like, 131.
Use Rate Of Posting System: set to no

Let me know if you are set up like the above......thanks. hotwheels
