To Upgrade from 2.2.4:

Upload all files import the new product.

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 )

Got the error "I'm not feeling very well at the moment, try again later."
Guessing problems with aiml although that was fixed. Anyways will completely uninstall and try a reinstall. See what happens.

I get that same error and I have re-edited my dbprefs so many times I can't see straight....

I be confused now.

"I'm not feeling very well at the moment, try again later."

Uploaded ewt_talkerbot.php and "src" directory as well as edited database settings.. I'm running PHP5 btw.

you need to change the root path to your personal forum settings from extremetims local paths. There's no reason for you to get an error with his forum address in it, you know? I think this should have been noted in the upgrade instructions, but overall - cool hack

Unfortunately, when trying to run the huge process involved in botloader.php, I end up with a blank page instead of a success message.... I can't make full use of this till I get it figured out, and a lot of other people have the same problems. I'll gladly nominate this as MOTM if I can actualy use it, but a 30% chance of the response "Said I." or "I have 28735 categories in my ...." or ""What you said was too complicated or too simple...." does not a good bot make. I think the main reason for this is because I cannot complete the botloader process.

Said I.

There are still some php5 issues.

This is the exact error I am getting before the post completes and the Bot replies it is not feeling well...

I does not matter what I put in dbpref file...

Yea your servers not allowing the use of file_get_contents for http urls. I will work on a work around for that in the meantime see if your host can allow them.

Okay. I'll look into it.

Thought something must be funny. Is this a change from the earlier version, cause I don't remember getting this error before?


Can contact them later, but searching their forum, lots of people are posting scripts using that and none of the staff are suggesting you can't ?!?! ?!!? ?!!?
