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

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 )

Yes for those that didnt notice I released version 2.2.4 of the talkerbot here which is the latest current copy of the script.

[sonichero]

I just installed this. how weird. Few Questions.

How can i get him to post General tips, or create the format of his posts?
Can i get him to post news from some place?
Can i get him to be an instant banner, such as a post contains this word = Ban?

Thanks!

[NuclioN]

Tried it after the update and this is the same error as usual:

Loading data aiml file: C.aiml
XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 36

All of this: éëá etc. will stop the aiml with an error.

Also the amount of data shuts down our database for one hour because the limit is exceeded. I hope this will be fixed.

Think I'll wait for this release .. any ideas on timescale !?

[eXtremeTim]

That release is a good 2 months off at least.

Did you get anything done about getting him to wait before posting? He's posting now as soon as you reply.
