Simplified the steps to get the bot working.
Improved the code in various spots.
Fixed sloppy coding issues that remained from the original version of the hack.

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

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 )

I still get a time out. I left just the 1.aiml file in the folder (and startup.xml too). That file is only 3KB, and I still get a timeout.
I wish there was a way to load these directly to the db.

Can anyone export Bot and Bots tables into an sql file so I can populate my database please?

The problem I have now is that the bot does reply in the forums but all he says is "I can't form a reply right now" and also every post made says it's a duplicate and that I have already made a post recently

[dilbert]

I think this would be great too, but...
There are supposed to be ~300,000 lines. How big of a file would that be?
I can put it on my site. If someone could create it I can give them FTP access to a folder, and then share that folder here.
This looks like a lot of fun, I'd love to get it added.

Nope. I'm on shared hosting.

So, it would seem... I used the inc.php with your change and only the same files uploaded.

My Bot is 6.2K and Bots is 1K
What other tables are associated with this?

I just installed this mod and it is pretty kewl.......One problem though, that i ran into and i know it is just an error on myside, but what exactly is needed here:

$rootdir= "D:/inetpub/vhosts/extremechatforums.com/httpdocs/forums/alice/aiml/";

require('D:/inetpub/vhosts/extremechatforums.com/httpdocs/forums/includes/config.php');

right now i have it set up: /forums/alice/aiml/ and /forums/includes/config.php

So when i ran the botloader.php, i recieved errors at the end of it, pointing to this function. The bot is working on my site, i am just concerned about how to set the dbprefs.php correctly........Does it need the "D:" and what is the first part of the call for?

:/inetpub/vhosts/extremechatforums.com/httpdocs

And the bot is kewl as hell, he is a smart azz too.........hehehe

@hotwheels

Mine wouldn't work right at all until I dropped the D: I am thinking that is for a Drive on a dedicated server or summat.

In any event, might help to drop the D:

[hotwheels]

K, i have the d: dropped......that's kind of what i was thinking........

This should just point to where it's located in my forums directory right? Like: /forums/alice/aiml/ and to my includes file, right?

[hotwheels]

I am rerunning the botloader and i will post up the errors i recieve...
