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.

I feel for you all I really do, it took me about 4 hours or so maybe a bit more, to work out how to make this 3.5 compatable, make it multi bot, and add a 3.5 port of the learning in admincp from vb v2.x and I am far from being a skilled hacker

Problem is since I pm'd ET a good 2 weeks ago on here for permission to post on the 3.5 mod of this, wether it be a how to here or a new thread, his site has become inaccesible and although he has visited vb.org since the pm I have recieved no response. All I can asume from that its "Permision Denied" to post anything regards updating or helping you all get this hack working in 3.5 by way of ignorance than anything else.

I guess I really dont get it, your not re-writing the mod and your not claiming to have wrote it, almost every topic in this site has people posting add on's or fixes to other authors MODs in each and every thread, seems to me that it is perfectly ok to do so.

anyways...

I am still looking for a reliable coder to write a new bot mod...so it looks like we all wait some more..

Then I suggest you follow this thread https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=109496

Altho what lines get drawn on a hack thats allready a port of a port I dont know. The situation seems a bit crazy at times.

[high]* nitro shrugs I certainly dont think its fair that the ExtremeTim has put up "support for the hack has returned" when it most certainly has not.[/high]

my question is, will it go through and reply to the thousands of posts already posted over the last few months throughout the forum?

thanks for your help, i appreciate it.

No, the bot will only reply to posts which are made AFTER it is installed and configured. And only the posts in the specific forums which you tell it to monitor anyway.

Hope that helps.

hey paprika,

thanks! that does help. a lot.

have you used it? i've seen it on a couple of sites, looks a little hacky, but i'm trying to make sure my pages are updated so they look recent for the search engines.

is there something else i can do that you know of?
