TomBot v1.1 vB AI User Bot

Hi after reading the forums i have seen many people after a hack like this so here it is.

This has been installed and testing on a busy live server and it worked fine thats why im posting it in here right away.

I can not hack that much if theres a prob but i try my best to, i also add this is my first time so i have tryed my very best to make the install file easy to follow.

all the files you need are in the zip file just unzip it to your pc keeping the lay out how it is in the zip file and then following the install text file.

What does this hack do?

Basicy it add's a chat bot to a forum on your board that will reply to users posts.

if you wish the bot not to reply to a post inside of the forum its set up to reply in just add ### anywhere in your post and it will stop the bot from replying.

You may give the bot its own profile on the board eg av and sign to make it fit in abit better.

The bot will also learn things has it gets used more but if it gets to a point where it trys taking over the wrold please dont sue me.

It'll be nice to have this working in vB3. Any updates yet?

I get this error trying to run botloader.php:

Loading startup.xml

Warning: fopen(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/xvtrfvhm/home/public_html/teens/alice/aimlstartup.xml) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/xvtrfvhm:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/xvtrfvhm/public_html/teens/alice/src/admin/botloaderfuncs.php on line 508

could not open XML input

Any ideas? Everything is chmod 777, I have checked and checked again and again and again. This is on 2.3.2

[AutomatikStudio]

I'm getting the same errors as the people above with everything chmod 777.

looks like a strange file path you have there...

anyway I installed this one and with the addition of the AIML files from alicebot.org that little bugger owns 60 % of my members
great work

Hmm, I can't get this to work in VB2.3.2
I modified all the files etc, uploaded em all, ran the installer, it said it installed all the stuff in the database aok, but it doesn't reply to any threads.
One bit about the instructions confused me, was this....

Login to phpmyadmin and check in the 'bots' table that the bot id is 0
you find that the table 'bot's the id number in there needs editing to 0 from 1 in some cases

When I goto the bots table, I don't know what to do from there?

Wow! i cant tell you how amazing this is! thanks!

[Blaine0002]

One Question. why does he show up as a guest? i created him a file and put the correct userid in the .php file..

[TheComputerGuy]

well...I just reinstalled it, works great!

[hexonxonx]

LOL A month later after looking at my post above, I finally see the error that I made. Oh well. I have to start over since I deleted Alice from the server shortly after. Wish I could have seen the obvious mistake before I deleted it though.

How can I get my bot to NOT reply to smilies and ignore them completely?
