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.

Whats new in 2.5.0?
Cleanup of the code to allow better support for php5 users.
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.

Whats new in 2.2.4?

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
Improved bots sanity
Fixed alot of stuff.

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 )

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.

That's a problem for me also, everything seems to be running great, except he has blanks in alot of posts.

You are curious about .Ask me another question.

I haven't heard anything like that before:
said .
Oh those people.That was a long time ago.What do you have that is ?
Your purpose is .All of them?

Also when I'm using quick reply the page drags on as long as I keep replying until I go back to the forum, then the topic is in pages.

I have the same thing with some answer's. Will this bot actually pick up new saying's by itself or do you have to build aiml files for it?

I have a list of things i need to see about getting done.

OK, so it may be possible for me to get around the timeout part. It seems I can edit one or more of the files used to increase the time out.
Can I get some guidance of what file to edit.
here is the response from my host.

"Yes, you can set the timeout period to however long you want it to be. You can set this via coding. We don't have a sample of the code that needs to be included in your php file but you can search the Internet for this. Please be aware though that if this causes any issues within our shared environment, the site will be shut off."

About TimeOuts...

I just cheated.

1) Delete ALL the AIML files from the server, except the startup.xml.

2) Upload about 1 Meg of files from your hard drive.

3) Run the regular botloader

4) Delete the AIML files off the server

5) Upload about Meg more of files

6) Rinse, Repeat!


Took awhile, but got them loaded each time and I have seen a difference in Bender's (My Bot) responses.

Same here.

Tim, one more 'wish list' item... can you check about parsing HTML to BB code (or removing HTML) when posting? If you check this test thread you can see that I got some weird '<br></br>' in the bot output.

Thanks

[dilbert]

Ahhhhh,
Even this timed out on me.
Any chance you'd share you sql files?

I don't even know which files to send or how... I assure you I am world's most ignorant vBulletin Administrator! lol

*now, where did I leave my passwords*

[WritersBeat]

Is there a way to "delay" the bot's response?

Do the same thing but with boatloaderinc,boatloader empties the DB everytime you run it.
