Improved the code in various spots.
Fixed sloppy coding issues that remained from the original version of the hack.

Start of php 5 compatibility fixes
Query errors
ajax cosmetics issue (should be fixed now but if not please let me know)
quite a few minor random things.

Whats new in 2.2.3?

Added code to make bot show up online.
Made bot show up as last poster correctly.
Fixed table prefix issue

Whats new in 2.2.2?

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 )

I still want to know why I can't configure the per forum posting ammount... i get a long SQL error. Could it be because my tables are prefixed "vb_"?

I would like a learner bot too

[Hexify]

I got up to the step where you're supposed to run botloader.php; and all I get are a bunch of PHP errors... :S Does the config.php need to be CHMOD'd to anything? What's missing? Alice is chmod'd to 777 jfyi.

the bot worked fine the first day i installed it, but now it is putting it's response before your post. how do you fix that because it's kind of confusing.

if you make the first post in a thread then submit the bot's response shows as post 1 and yours as post 2.

[eXtremeTim]

Got some good news in regards to this hack.

I am working right now on the an update to make it easier to install.

[eXtremeTim]

Whats coming in 2.5?

Well for starters ive cleaned up the code to require no file edits.
I am also cleaning up php issues that caused the bot to not function correctly.

[Shana]

When should we expect this by?

[eXtremeTim]

Later today.

[eXtremeTim]

2.5.0 Released.

This should hopefully fix alot if not all of the php5 issues. If you are running php 5 and you have a problem with the bot please pm me the details and a login and I will make notes of things to fix.

eXtremeTim is it possible to fix the aiml files because phrases like this: être résumé will then generate a xml error.

Is it now possible to install large aiml files? So if there is a limit on mysql and when passing this limit mysql will be rendered useless for one hour.
