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.

I'm working on the AIML files for ANNA (so you can choose the name and such) and i have been able to allow the robot to remember information about each user.

I'll write up the details as long as some further testing works okay

Edit:
Okay, tested everything and it works fine. I'm currently working on the annabot AIML files and i'll let you all know when i'm done

Should i release it as a seperate/addon hack?

the only thing is the vb userid is passed in the query string so in theory the bot could be open to abuse but i wouldn't say it's much of a problem. Most that can happen is that people could change what name is remembered for you etc, but the robot is setup in such away already that is clears information on you have x mins (120 i think).

Eh, yeah, well, i hope that makes sense

I'll post all the information on it soon.

Do I need to create a new DB, or can I use my default vbulletin DB ??

tnx !

[NuclioN]

You can use the vb database without a problem.

tnx man

When I run botloader.php for the first time, there is no action.
my browser directly says done...
what can it be ?

[NuclioN]

Did you fill in the info in dbprefs.php? Are the aiml files in the right directory and are all files chmod 777?

yep, for as far as I know.

this is what I enterred as rootdir:
$rootdir="/var/www/html/portal/forum/alice/aiml/";

or does it need a relative path instead of a absolute path ?
