Talker Bot Hack v2.0.2
Hack By: Tim (eXtremeTim) Yarbrough
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.

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.

try yourforumurl/yourbotfolder/src/admin/botloader.php in your browser

[eXtremeTim]

Turning on the random smilies will make the bot post smilies. Check the setting and make sure you have used the correct entry.

Any one know what is going on? i get this error when i now try and create a new forum? which was gonna be just a lounge for my bot!

The sql has been uploaded too!?

Not impressed so far....

Question: which phrase section do you add the 'phrase'? i have yet to find it in the edit forum properties (very confusing)

I'm sorry to have found this hack in such an array of confusion and find it's install instructions stetchy, i do hope for an update soon as i'm still eager to get this working.

Edit : Loading the botloader.php file was fun also, after an hour waiting on a blank screen and my pc slowing down to a grinding halt i wondered if i was doing something wrong, out of the 10-20 times i've tried running botloader.php with the effects listed above (in various browsers) only once have i been able to actually see some kinda screen output (then it looked like it inserted nothing into my database)

The statement above was due to my firewalls tight security, if people have this problem again they must disable their firewall when running botloader.php (might be a referrer or javascript thing)

anyways, so i now have entires in my database, but blow me if the bot isn't doing much...nothing at all actually...still cannot find any setup 'phrase' - please advise

EDIT - Turn off 'chance of post' or set to zero and it works fine!

As I said there is no support on vb.org for this hack anymore. If you check out the thread that I linked to a few posts up you will see the answer to fixing this problem.

You didnt edit the dbprefs file correctly. This is the last bit of support I will give for this hack here. Any more problems must be posted at www.vbhacks.us in the thread I linked to above. Any more problems posted here will not be answered.
