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.


Upgrading From v1 Instructions:
Just use the install.txt and do the forum.php in the acp directory edits.
Add the new phrase and run the query.


Todo List:
Move all settings to acp settings page
fix the floodcheck problem of bot still replying when users post is not made.
Clean up the code more
Figure out more stuff todo.

You don't have your path set. Look near the top of the page where your post is.

This here.

Fix that and it should work.

Now just to get my issue fixed.

I've gone through all the files and looked them over. I found one thing in my path for the talk.php, fixed it but the bot is STILL not posting. I have several of the forums set at 100 for posting rate. But nothing.

[Logikos]

strange. this works perfect at matrixmania.com. Been using it for 6 months now.

[Ski-Whiz]

Is it possible that this bot/hack could do something like this:

???

I don't want to add (2) bots, but am looking to see if this bot can create threads like this hack I listed! Thanks!

Did you replace the 130 with the bots userid in the _talkerbot.php file?

[Jaxx]

Yes I did.

Question I do have though is I see people talking about _talkerbot.php, in the directions it says to rename it to tomstalkerbot.php.

Was this wrong?

[LuBi]

Is there anyway to make this work with Google links? :up: :down:

[atxhorn]

how can u mannually uploading the file to the database...mine keep timing out.

[kalius]

I just installed this and it's working fine but how can I change so that the bot title isn't Guest?

Installed following instructions and no errors. How long before mr. bot starts talking?

[Gary King]

What does the alice/src/admin/botloader.php file do?

[PKassab]

Ok my bot is posting before the page even refreshes how can we delay this/

[Daremo]

I'm having trouble getting the bot to actually post anything. After installation I check the bots table as suggested and it is an empty table. Botloader seemed to work fine and got no errors. I have double checked all file mods and mods to _talkerbot. I have set tyhe forum to 100% chance of posting as well.

I can't see where I made a mistake. Can anyone assist? I'm attempting to install on vBulletin 3.0.6 with the 3.07 security patch.

Thanks

My bot was working fine for months, but it's suddenly started producing this error:

Warning: file_get_contents(http://forums.netbits.co.uk/alice/src/talk.php?vbid=4&input=testing+123): failed to open stream: Connection timed out in /_talkerbot.php on line 82

The bot ends up posting "I'm not feeling very well at the moment, try again later." every single time. I haven't changed anything so I'm not sure why it has stopped working. If you visit http://forums.netbits.co.uk/alice/sr...ut=testing+123, it works fine, and the bot responds.

Anyone know what's up?
