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 )

Chmod 777 -R the whole alice directory. Then chmod 755 admin directory. Then chmod 755 botloader.php file. Then try running the botloader file. Mine works now.

To talk to the bot, I had to chmod 755 SRC directory and talk.php file.

Now, how do I keep people from accessing the dbprefs file? If I make the file chmod 700 then the bot gets "sick".

still doesnt work!

[eXtremeTim]

keep in mind i havent forgotten about any of you. I am hard at work on him still. Plus I am trying to prepare some guides and other things to help avoid all the confusion.

[Langly]

One thing I have noticed is that if you tell the bot to listen and respond to ALL forums; it will. If you make the bot a registered user, it will still listen and respond in forums it is not supposed to have access to.

[G_Man]

Do we have to upload any files?

[eXtremeTim]

I am no longer able to support this hack and maintain the release at multiple sites. This hack has grown to large and is consuming quite a bit of my time answering the same questions at multiple sites day in and day out.

To get the newest version please go to: http://vbhacks.extremewebtech.com/fo...thread.php?t=1

Yes there is a new version out that is newer then the version released here.
