What This Hack Does.

This hack add a userlike bot to your forums. You can set which forum he will post in and how often he will reply to poeples posts. He will try and build his replies off the text that they posted. This bot will learn overtime slowly from your users posts. I will also be seeing about porting over the teachbot soon.

Some New Features
acp controlled Rate Of Post
ability to post as bot and he will not reply
post count will not go up in forums where post counts are turned off
a few options to turn off and on a few things including the script itself.
Some other stuff i just cant remember

Fixed in 2.0.2:
Go advanced feature works for quick reply.
Bot will no longer reply when post is stopped becuase of an error. (aka floodlimit, to many images, ect)

Fixed in 2.0.1:
Fixed a few minor problems including using the wrong variable in the if statement for the random smilie check.
fixed the install.txt problem used a find code that was from one of my modifications sorry about that.

Upgrading From v2.0.1 Instructions:
These are in the v202 upgrade file

Upgrading From v2.0.0 Instructions:
To upgrade from v2.0 just make your changes to the new _talkerbot.php file and replace the old v2.0 one.

It does the same thing for me.

[Solice]

I'm having a slight issue with this. I installed it and double checked everything but it doesn't seem to be working. Everything is set to 777 as well, any ideas?

Edit: By not working I meant that its not replying to posts or through the talk.html file. I'm not getting errors or anything of that sort.

[milkmycow]

im having a mind racking problem.

when i goto botloader.php to run it, im getting a 500 internal error

Hehehe, how stupid can i be
gamerz2k.org, go to your forum manager and choose the forum(s) where the bot is supposed to post. If you edit them, you will discover a setting for the bot, the value is a percent to post for the bot. After i changed that it works fine
(if setting forumid=all in dbprefs.php)

Tell me if ya found it

[bigtime]

Has anyone successfully set this up on vb3 gold?

[Vampireli0]

great mod

got a question..

Phrases To Add:
Name: rateofbotposting
Text: Rate Of Bots Posting<dfn>Setting this to 0 will disable him and a number 1-100 will be his percentage of replying.</dfn>

i added it but where can i set it to 100 so it will reply to my posts?


ok found it :P stupid me..

love your mod

[weaver]

ChMod all folders and files to alice 777

I'm new to all of this... What does this mean?

**Okay I am proud because I at least know what the 777 does and how to find out what the current values are. I'm using an FTP program and when I right click and choose properties, I do see where I can change the CHMod Value. However, whenever I change it to 777 and click Apply, it doesn't change the value. Help! Also, am I understanding this part correctly... That the folder Alice and all subfolders and files should have a CHMod Value of 777?

****I have them all set to 777 now. It started letting me change it for some reason.

[weaver]

Login to phpmyadmin and check in the 'bots' table that the bot id is 0

Where do I find the 'bots' table?

**I found it, but have no clue how to edit them with things like favorite drink, etc.

****Figured it out. :ermm: But my bot still isn't replying to anything and I've changed the rate setting to 100 in each of the forums I want her to post in.

[weaver]

It's working now and I'm lmao... Great hack.
