TomBot v1.1 vB AI User Bot · **Released**: 01-22-2003

Hi after reading the forums i have seen many people after a hack like this so here it is.

This has been installed and testing on a busy live server and it worked fine thats why im posting it in here right away.

I can not hack that much if theres a prob but i try my best to, i also add this is my first time so i have tryed my very best to make the install file easy to follow.

all the files you need are in the zip file just unzip it to your pc keeping the lay out how it is in the zip file and then following the install text file.

What does this hack do?

Basicy it add's a chat bot to a forum on your board that will reply to users posts.

if you wish the bot not to reply to a post inside of the forum its set up to reply in just add ### anywhere in your post and it will stop the bot from replying.

You may give the bot its own profile on the board eg av and sign to make it fit in abit better.

The bot will also learn things has it gets used more but if it gets to a point where it trys taking over the wrold please dont sue me.

I installed it all to directions, but it doesn't appear to be any sort of an Artificial [i]Intelligence[i/], more like artificial stupiditiy.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Okay I figured a way around the timeouts. Group your files together, and move all the *.amil files to the alice directory. Move like 5-7 files into the aiml directory and run botloaderinc.php

After you are done loading that, there is a link to continue processing...

From there, you move those 5-7 files back into the alice directory and move the next 5-7 files into the aiml directory. Run continue.

This will pretty much prevent timeouts. Keep repeating until you are done.

Note: KEEP STARTUP.XML in AIML NO MATTER WHAT.

Then the bot will show as the last poster, and newreply.php after:

PHP Code:

} else { $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET lastpost='".time()."',replycount=replycount+1,lastposter='".addslashes($postusername).$ } }

I did as you advised NTLDR, however my bot isn't showing as the last user posted on my forumhome. However it is showing up as the last poster on my forum itself.

EDIT: Stand corrected...it is only newreply.php that it doesn't show. Newthread.php works.

EDIT 2: Okay figured out how to make it work. Instead of adding

PHP Code:


			
include "tomstalkerbot.php";

after

PHP Code:


			
        } else {

          $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET lastpost='".time()."',replycount=replycount+1,lastposter='".addslashes($postusername).$

        }

      }

in newreply.php, add

PHP Code:


			
include "tomstalkerbot.php";

after

PHP Code:


			
      // update forum stuff

      if ($visible==1) {

        $DB_site->query("UPDATE forum SET replycount=replycount+1,lastpost='".time()."',lastposter='".addslashes($postusername)."' WHERE forumid IN ($foruminfo[parentlist])");

      }

in newreply.php

This will make it show up on the forumhome

now if someone could just update the install file...

N9ne · #**276** 01-26-2003, 08:45 PM

This bot is amazing...almost 800 posts in the bot forum I made in about one hour...

CeleronXL · #**277** 01-26-2003, 08:54 PM

The bot is just smilie spamming everything...

IE: a post will just contain ":baaa:"

okrogius · #**278** 01-26-2003, 08:58 PM

It will post only smilies if you didn't run the installer file, as directed by the readme file.

Radgam · #**279** 01-26-2003, 09:02 PM

Worked for me but i have 2 questions

How can i change the smiles is trys to use? I don't have the same ones installed, and what order are they meant to run in in the $emot array?

2) The bot doesn't reply to short sentences, anyway to make it?

Thanks, and this is awesome!

Although I haven't tested this, I think you would have to edit this file in tomstalkerbot.php and reduce the 10 to a 5 to make it reply to 5 character sentences:

if (strlen($ttb_message2)>10)

CeleronXL · #**281** 01-26-2003, 09:24 PM

Agh, that's all it's doing now.. Picking out of those smilies but not saying a single thing.

The most we got out of him was "Interesting :indif:"

EDIT: I did run it..... the botloader file right? Yeah...

You see, I used a method similar to ManagerJosh's.. I think every time you rerun the startup script, it deletes the old inserted data to redo it. Therefore, moving the *.aiml files and rerunning that script shouldn't work... :-/

Also, botloaderinc.php does NOT load the files individually, it loads them all, what's with this? Is there a modification I can make to make it really only load one?

Edit tomstalkerbot.php and right near the top I'm sure you'll notice the smilies... If not, search for :xmas: and you'll see them.

Platinumgamer · #**282** 01-26-2003, 10:07 PM

**Edit: Never mind this, it works perfectly

Hi,

I have installed this hack as was stated in the install file, yet when I try to run botloarder.php all I get is the following:

Loading startup.xml

Warning: fopen("/platinum/public_html/forums/aiml/startup.xml", "r") - No such file or directory in /home/platinum/public_html/forums/alice/src/admin/botloaderfuncs.php on line 508
could not open XML input

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Everything is CHMODDed to '777' and all files are uploaded properly, but all I get is the aforementioned error. Sorry to be a bother.

Thanks!

Any ideas how I get rid of this?

Here's a pic of the problem I'm having. Everyone of the bot's posts has this. Any ideas?

Well that's suppose to be calling a smile, at least the works for most of us lol.

To address the problem that some get for fopen, this is most likely do to one of two things:

Either your host don't have the fopen option enabled in php.ini

or

Like me, im running htaccess and its blocking access to open the talk.php file.

Im still trying to get a work around im happy with, but its begining to irk me. I like this hack alot and would appreciate any help from a htaccess guru?

thanx

Thanks but actually I am getting the smilies just fine. This one is always an extra:

<img src="" alt="" border="0">

...at the beginning of the post.

See the new pic.

Steve Machol · #**286** 01-26-2003, 10:46 PM

Here's something weird. If I edit the post there is no img code in it. If I twen save it without making any changes the <img src="" alt="" border="0"> disappears.
