Simplified the steps to get the bot working.
Improved the code in various spots.
Fixed sloppy coding issues that remained from the original version of the hack.

Whats new in 2.2.4?

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?

Fixed a few bugs (didnt fix the php 5.1 issues yet till i have time to make sure they dont have an undesired effect)
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?

Cleaned up code a bit.
Fixed <br> problem
Improved bots sanity
Fixed alot of stuff.

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 )

1. I downloaded the zip file.
2. Uploaded it to my forum root folder.
3. Edited dbprefs.php and changed only the file pathes.
4. Uploaded dbprefs.php to my server.
5. Uploaded ewt_talkerbot.php to my forum root folder.
6. Added product-ewt_talkerbot-v2.2.2.xml to my forum admin and edited the bot name and its forum id's.
7. My alice dir and its sub folders/files were chmoded 777
8. I try running botloader.php

Running botloader gives this error:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

The bot does show up and say he is not feeling well if someone types something. Phpmyadmin does show two new tables - bot and bots. Id is 0.

Any ideas why botloader won't run and why the bot is sick?

Cheers

woohoo... don't know if you saw my earlier post... but can you do away with the fopen call and replace it with CURL? I obviously don't have the syntax figured properly to get it working.

[eXtremeTim]

Im already hard at work on 2.2.4 which will fix a few more things and get it working on all server setups hopefully and then will proble be the last release for the 2.2.x line of the talkerbot so i can shift focus over to the dev of v3.

[Langly]

Awesome. I look forward to trying this.

[Scathefire]

Is there a way for this thing to use your boardname instead of having to introduce yourself to it first?

I had to do "my name is *username*" before it would actually "know" my boardname, and not just respond with a "Your name is , seeker."

With over 560 posts anyone have this happen to them? Are my install steps not right?

I'm getting the Internal Error too. I changed my values to 755 and that didnt work. I also tried putting sub.inc to 777 and everything else the same.
