Simplified the steps to get the bot working.
Improved the code in various spots.
Fixed sloppy coding issues that remained from the original version of the hack.

Whats new in 2.2.4?

Start of php 5 compatibility fixes
Query errors
ajax cosmetics issue (should be fixed now but if not please let me know)
quite a few minor random things.

Whats new in 2.2.3?

Fixed a few bugs (didnt fix the php 5.1 issues yet till i have time to make sure they dont have an undesired effect)
Added code to make bot show up online.
Made bot show up as last poster correctly.
Fixed table prefix issue

Whats new in 2.2.2?

Cleaned up code a bit.
Fixed <br> problem
Improved bots sanity
Fixed alot of stuff.

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 )

Run http://www.yourdomain.co.uk/forums/a.../botloader.php this can take a good 30 min because it runs 300,000 queries

I'm having a slight problem, this part only takes 0.78 seconds and says it doesn't create anything.

Also, the bot only says: "i'm sorry but i was unable to form a reply right now"
I'm kinda new to MySql so i wasn't too sure but the 'bot' and 'bots' tables are in the db, and i think the bot id is 3?

Any help greatly appreciated. ^.~

Do you still need some place to test with php 5.1.5 available?

If so let me know. Thanks

[Snake]

Thanks a bunch for the 3.6 version!

[rob30UK]

Could you possibly let me know how I may add rules from additional AIML files to improve the knowldge?

I have found a lot of AIML files on many subjects and think I can get a good little bot going here

Just wanted to say, this is a novel concept. Congrats on thinking outside the box, or 'bot' as the case may be here. :laugh:

Nice thing is, I would assume it could be programmed to form replies specific to a forum's general theme. For instance, ours is Recumbent Bicycling.

Don't know anything about aiml files (yet), but plan to look into them a bit now.

Again, Thanxx for the very interesting MOD here!

FYI, I just tripped across this site with lots of AIML info on it:

For compatibility with PHP 5.x.x, you need to ensure you change all php files from:

PHP Code:

<?

to

PHP Code:

<?php

This should be done for \src\plugins\customtags.php and \src\tester.php

I'm getting a Quick Reply AJAX error for some reason... still trying to troubleshoot that...

i have quick tags enabled tho.

[Erwin]

Oh yeah, don't forget subs.inc - you need to also change <? to <?php for php5 to work properly...

[Erwin]

Yup, working for me on php 5.1 once I fixed up the <? to <?php issue, including the .inc files which are also included.
