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 )

This problem i have already identified and know why it happens and will update to cut down the frequency of it soon. I am still wondering why the last post isnt updating correctly since im using vbulletins datamanager to handle all the posts.

[eXtremeTim]

remove the D: thats for the filepath on my server since I run on a windows server.

I will be releasing another bug fix version tonight. Plus im going to see about getting the bot to show up online when she posts.

That's just a simple template edit. I've done that for a few years now with it.

[eXtremeTim]

Nah I want to make it so she will show up in the whosonline system correctly everywhere and even disappear offline after the timeout from her last reply.

If you're doing a bugfix version, make sure like I suggested each php file (and .inc file as they are included) starts with <?php not just <? to be compliant with PHP 5.x.x. And get rid of &$variable variables in your files (only found twice in graphnew.php - remove the & from the variable) to avoid the deprecated error.

The problem I have is that my bot has a lot of blanks in his answers.

For example "So you are talking about ." Or " said ."

Is it just me or is this a problem for other people.

Is someone willing to somehow make their database files available?
I've tried several times to get it to work, and keep getting timeouts.
