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 )

To get the path to the the Alice directory on your server just use the code below to create a php file, throw the file in the alice directory and navigate to it. It will provide you with the correct path.

PHP Code:

<?php
echo getcwd() . "\n";
chdir('cvs');
?>

Or use the attached file:

3. Look forward to installing this mod on my new VB installation so I just wanted to say I have no idea how you created such an awesome product but Im excited to begin using it and would like to thank you. I will be donating once i get this working in a live environment.

1. No , it pretty much remembers nothing at all. Though it did remember something today from a few days ago....no idea why.

2. The bot is supposed to learn but cannot until Tim releases an update for it. So at the moment , it does really remember anything which is a bit disappointing.

I had this as my php.ini file on the server had the wrong setting. Once changed it worked perfectly.

I even sent a pm with no response
Keep your hacks bro..........
Just not worth the headaches........

Unfortunately I am thinking the same.

I certainly dont expect 24/7 support , but to acknowledge something is happening would be good. I might give it a week and if there is still no reply at all I will remove it.

Simply any post saying " I am still working on it " would suffice. There have been quite a few " abandoned projects " , where members have been left hanging ,if that is the case , thats all we want to know.

If it still is an active project , thats great , people just want to know either way.

Its taken me 3 minutes to post this. That is all thats required to let people know either way. Its not that hard is it ?

[BigJimTheLug]

Hmmmmmm......I'm still running the old bot, I guess I will update my bot and see how it goes.

Yes, this is a great modification.

Thanks and I'll keep all of you posted on my success or failure with this mod.

Cheers.
