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?

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 )

Does anyone know how?

Thanks

You change the name in the database. Just log in to phpmyadmin (or whatever you are using to manage your database) and you will see fields there to change everything.

I am pretty sure he will create fields for this to be changed via the admin panel eventually.

Are you really running "http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/alice/src/admin/botloader.php", or are you editing it properly to include YOUR domain?

If you got a 404 error page, make sure your files are uploaded and in the right spot. That's not a hack / mod problem, it's operator error. (No offense). It just means that you did not do something right.

This is crazy. I originally got the "Cannot connect to database. please try again later" error. So I edited my dbprefs file to include the correct paths. Now I whenever the bot replies I get...

"<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>: main() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required '/home/users/public_html/forums/includes/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in <b>/homepages/42/d193140338/htdocs/marshmarauders/forums/alice/src/admin/dbprefs.php</b> on line <b>49</b><br />"

GRRRRRRRRR. This is driving me nuts! lol

Can someone help me?I get the "Cannot connect to database. please try again later" error too

[Merrillizer]

Well i fixed that, but now the bot just says either "cannot connect to database. please try again later" again, or weird german crap, or this "Intéressant, j archive vos informations."

Your dbprefs.php edits were not done correctly. Some servers have different paths to the folders. As you can see in the fatal error I posted above, mine is much longer than what other have used.

We need a better learning system. This is absurd.
