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 )

I am using EWT - Talkerbot v2.2.1, and even though I've even tried entering the install queries manually, I'm still getting this old error whenever I try to set the bot's ROP:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.0:

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'mimicbotrop' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

[Mr Chad]

what about s_ vars

[eXtremeTim]

run the following query on your database. (remember if you use a table prefix to append it)

ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `mimicbotrop` INT( 5 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;

[issa]

i dont really understand sql, but this query seems incorrect

ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `mimicbotrop` INT( 5 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;

`forum` should not be literal, but should instead be the name of the target forum. changing this to my forum's name fixed the error.

edit: i came back to post this before i saw your post. when using the install xml, the forum prefix is not appended as you wish.

[eXtremeTim]

yea i realize i did forget to put the forum prefix in now. Ill update the xml shortly.

[bashy]

Can this create new threads?
If not, do you think it would be possible?

[eXtremeTim]

I is theoretically possible for me to make it so it can create threads every so often via some random timing and a cron script. Not exactly sure how I would go about doing that but I will definately look into it.

[Meta]

Problem solved. Like a dummy, I failed to upload the ewt_talkerbot.php to the forums directory.

Yes ... that was the problem. Very funny. Silly me. Now it works, thanks a lot!

[hugh_]

How can I uninstall this hack? Is it just a matter of removing the product and dropping the two tables called bot and bots?

[Meta]

Hm ... works almost fine now. But there's another funny problem ... and it's hard to explain. Hubert (the Name of the bot) doubles his posts. Example:


me: Hallo

he: (something)

me: Hallo again


Result:

me: Hallo

he: (something)

he: (same something)

me: Hallo again

he: (something new)



Very confusing. Any idea?
