Website: www.extremechatforums.com
Original: by: C-birch
Credits: Rapid Gaming (for porting it to vb3)

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.

I've had this mod on my board for awhile now. I disabled him for a couple months, but upon bringing him back to life, he returns errors regarding his talk.php file that should be located here. Has this file been removed for any particular reason? And if so, could you provide me with a copy of this file to have on my server so I can get it running again? I find it to be somewhat amusing because he seems to respond about half the time to a certain group of members.

Thanks.

Er that file is in the attachment which you can download. But when you installed the hack, you should have copied all of these files to your server anyway.

I noticed this. But the original file I downloaded for this hack had that talk.php link to his website and I wasn't quite sure if he had a hack for other people aimed at a file on his website for a particular reason. I became more curious of this once I saw the file didn't exist at that address. I almost have it. One more kink, but I know what it is. Thanks.

<br />
<b>Warning</b>: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer.
