TomBot v1.1 vB AI User Bot

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.

That does sound cool, banderson. I also checked it out a bit and noticed that there's another bot out there supposedly even more "human-like," and one that will (they claim) pass the Turing Test. It's called the AnnaBot, based on ALICE. Anyone know how we could maybe integrate that one into this hack instead of/alongside Alice?

tested, and yes, this bot does seem more intelligent. Works fine without many modifications either. sadly there are a few problems in one of the XML files (the "topics.aiml" file), so you need to sort out some tags, but asides from that, conversation is much better than with alice.

Installed and works perfectly!

Thanks...

What are the problems with the file? And what needs to be changed?

The other thing is. How do you go about installing it? I already have the other one installed on my forum. Can I just replace the AIML files and run the install script again, or should I delete the current tables and recreate them?

I was wondering this to, can we use those Anna AIML files instead of the ones with this hack?

My bot seems REALLY stupid...

[Brahm]

Works great -- Instructions were easy... Thanks!

@ radgam

you gonna give us some insrtuctions on how to do this

i love this hack, but my bot dont learn much, he calls members the same names all the time

do these bots originaly work in chatrooms ???
and if yes i would think that they could see names of people

please please please can someone try to work a way for the bot to remember names or see the user name of the members, it would make the whole bot experiance like 100% better, and i think the bot might even learn more that way

[Radgam]

To get annabot to work (roughly) - in folder alice/aiml:
download the annotbot AIML files only
delete all the files in the aiml folder (except startup.xml)
Move the annabot aiml files into the folder alice/aiml
run botloader.php again

Overall the bot is smaller in size (8mb) and the discussion does seem more human, but don't expect massive massive changes... it still gets confused from time to time!

A problem i have encountered though, is that the annobot won't remember information on people (none at all!) which i am working on at the moment to see where the problem is.

Also, I'm currently working on a hack to allow the bot to remember information on individual members. I'll let you know if i manage

The problem with the topics.aiml was the order in which the tags were closed (or not closed for that matter). I've uploaded 2 files i fixed to save you time. Nothing major

Edit: topic.aiml & d.aiml fixed download ZIpped wrong files last time

[NuclioN]

There is a problem with the D.aiml. It gives an error in xmlspy and it stops loading with botloader. Can't find it though...

--edit-- topic.aiml has a mismatch to somewhere

[Radgam]

is there a problem in the files i uploaded as well? I've reuploaded the files and tested them and they worked fine
