Website: www.extremechatforums.com

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.

Whats new in 2.5.0?
Cleanup of the code to allow better support for php5 users.
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 )

To get rid of these errors is easy (I assume you're using PHP 5.x.x too?)

Edit graphnew.php

Find in line 125:

PHP Code:

            $newword=fastforward($word,&$ffremains); 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

            $newword=fastforward($word,$ffremains); 


Then find in line 231 the same thing:

PHP Code:

            $newword=fastforward($word,&$ffremains); 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

            $newword=fastforward($word,$ffremains); 


Fixed!

[Mr Chad]

anyway you can hook me up with the fixed one

So sorry ... i have the same problem.

"Click here to talk to the bot" works fine, everything controlled more than twice. Permissions set to 777, options set to post and read in forum #58, he shall write as user #193 (called Hubert), which is the one who worked for us yet in the last version of talkerbot.

The rate of bots posting in #58 is set to 100. Also we tried it with "Use Rate Of Posting System" set to "no". Of course "Talkerbot Active" is set to "yes" and the plug-in-system is enabled.

I think, we have done everything as described in the TalkerBotInstall.txt ... but what happens is nothing. No reaction ... neither a post nor a error ... absoluty nothing.

I'm so sorry for bothering you with posts like this one. But i will be very glad if you have an idea what could be wrong.

Thank you in advance!
