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.

You are one sick sad puppy asking if it was a poof :banana: :lol:

Going to try installing this to our test box now, and we're going to beat Tim at his own game .... a demented pyscho bot on the way (wonder how long it will take to work out the profanity filter isn't huge)!

#**577** 03-01-2003, 06:07 AM

Ok anyone else tried installing this on a Win2k Pro system, all l'm getting back are smilies from the AI Bot

When l ran the botloader.php it told me 0 catagories created at the end of the load, wondering if something works slightly differently under windows.

Cheers

Okay just re-read the instructions and didn't run the sql statement (d'uh), where the heck do l run this on a win2k box

No way, Matthew. I'm very interested..... just don't have the programming expertise to be any help with the sort of development we all need.

These hacks are awesome. We have two bots running in separate (private) test forums. For now, both bots are sharing the same data files..... but we'll make a new database for the second one after we're able to customize it/her/them well enough.

Ultimately, we want to have two conversational forum bots running (separately)....... along with a third FAQ-bot to personalize that function. So anything we can do to make it easier to train them is truly important.

Thanks to all who've been working on these hacks, so far!!

Talis.

What I would really like, is a way to stop the bot responding on the forums, unless it was triggered by a keyword (eg: "Alice"). The I could run the bot as a propper chatbot/FAQbot via the popup, but also have it as an "on demand" bot for the forums.

I think that would be the slickest way if integrating this hack. [/B]

I am new to hacks and what not. But why not just add a if statement in the tomstalkerbot.php.

Something like.

if ($ttb==1 AND rand(1,100)<=$ttb_weighting AND $forumid==$ttb_forumid AND $bbuserinfo[userid]!=$ttb_memberid) {gottb();};

take out the $ttb_forumid and replace it some how with a search in the $message string.

If this was visual basics i could do it in a minute but not sure on how to in php.

Just an idea..... Hope makes some sence.

insanctus · #**582** 03-04-2003, 08:11 AM

Ok I got mine to do it... that was to easy... I hope it helps.

In tomstalkerbot.php

Find

PHP Code:


			
if ($ttb==1 AND rand(1,100)<=$ttb_weighting AND $forumid==$ttb_forumid AND $bbuserinfo[userid]!=$ttb_memberid) {gottb();};

and replace it with

PHP Code:


			
if ($ttb==1 AND rand(1,100)<=$ttb_weighting AND  stristr($message,"$ttb_username") AND $bbuserinfo[userid]!=$ttb_memberid) {gottb();};

Now it searched for its name in a post and reacts on it. Name can be any place in that post.

Such as "hello bot name how are you"

it will answer

If you still want it to only one thread. Then replace the above with .

PHP Code:


			
if ($ttb==1 AND rand(1,100)<=$ttb_weighting AND  stristr($message,"$ttb_username") AND $forumid==$ttb_forumid AND $bbuserinfo[userid]!=$ttb_memberid) {gottb();};

insanctus · #**583** 03-04-2003, 08:49 AM

Ok I am trying to work on it so it only looks at the beginning

PHP Code:


			
 // END CONFIG

$usernamelen = strlen($ttb_username);

if ($ttb==1 AND rand(1,100)<=$ttb_weighting AND  $ttb_username=substr($message, 0, $usernamelen) AND $bbuserinfo[userid]!=$ttb_memberid) {gottb();};

$message=substr_replace($message, "", 0, $usernamelen);

For some reason it is not working.

Like I said I am new to php but prior one works fine. Just this one does not seem to.

If you can figure it out please post it.

Automated · #**584** 03-04-2003, 08:56 AM

well thats a great addition, but it didnt work for me

I am not sur if that is because i have the Multi forum version of tomstalkerbot.php but could you have a look at this please (here it is https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...353#post345353 )

I would also release this as a stand alone hack it is amazing.

Okay trying to get this running live now, the infamous only posts smilies problem for us as well. Tracking through the problems encountered so far.

We get this when we try to run the botloader

If it says Inserted 0 categories into database its not added anything to the database

Aha knew that was our problem. Okay to sum up where we are at in both testing and live

1. Testing on win2k box, how the heck are we meant to run the sql file (has no one attempted this on win2k yet). Okay going to have a stab in the dark and try and run each command from the sql file manually.

2. Live database, Cannot set time in safe mode. Am presuming this is a setting we need to get our host to have a look at.

Well that's where we are at :dunno:
