Fixed sloppy coding issues that remained from the original version of the hack.

quite a few minor random things.

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 )

Also.... The Centralized Training System Is Under Going Developement Testing. It is successfully working for my sites.

We need you the users to start sending people to this forum: http://extremewebtech.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=17 Where the centralized training system resides. The more people adding training material the smarter all our bots become.

ppl should note, if u take the "executionorder" commands out of the product file, this works a dream on 3.5........

[eXtremeTim]

If you edit the product xml file and find all instances of executionorder="5" and remove them you can install the 3.6 product file on 3.5 without errors. You then also use the ewt_talkerbot.php file from the 3.6 install package. This is all I have been doing to maintain the 3.5 release.

my quick reply no longer works on 3.6.0 once i installed this it posts, but doesnt refresh the page. any ideas?

[bashy]

Ah right ok, no probs i was just wondering if it made any difference with regards to the bot making better sense, as i have 3.6 this does not apply to me!!

Centralized Talkerbot Learning Addon Released: http://extremewebtech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37 Enjoy.

[Sparky_s]

My bot does not seem to respond to anything when using talk.html

As far as the forum posting is concerned, all it says is "Im sorry but I was not able to form a reply right now", I assume that's a generic responce if something's wrong.

I had worked when it was on 3.6.0 and I am now on 3.6.1

Would it be best to try and reinstall all again?

Cheers

Cool. That was easy enough thanks

Any way to remove this with the phrases or whatever it inserted? I like it in a way, but most are getting annoyed at it.
