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 )

It would be an excellent automated help bot if you could make it learn stuff. Even if it was a manual process to add things it would be better then it is now.

That would be truly awesome.

Are there any coders who could work with Tim and make the learning system and split the rights to it or something.

An automated help bot, and being able to remember normal conversations would make the addition of it being able to learn and fantastic hack which I'm sure would bring both parties a great deal of business.

Take the opportunity someone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like you did'nt let it finish loading, takes about 30mins and runs through all the aiml files. @Having said that, i got a similar reply at first but it seems ok now..

I installed this about 2 months ago and made absolutely no changes to any of the files, and it works exceptionally well. It now has the ability to associate my members with what vehicles they drive. I recently had a regular member just say hello to the bot and it replied by asking her about her cobra mustang. (which is what she drives)

I think what the problem is that you guys don't give it enough time to learn. It has to have frequent interaction with other members in order for it to learn. It learns very slowly, but it does learn quite well with no modifications made to any of the provided files. Also, if you isolate it to one forum it seems to work better.

Sorry , you are wrong. I run it on a 60,000 member site and it has had plenty of time to learn. It does learn , but not for long. You can come back the next day and it wont recognize you or anything you have taught it.

Support is zero and the author doesnt even have decency to make any further posts in this thread. I have seen him do the same thing with previous mods , so its my own fault for thinking he had changed his ways.

I am more interested in uninstalling this now , its a very much pointless addon that could have been very good. I would be interested in hearing from anyone that has uninstalled and removed it as to exactly how they went about it and what they removed.

any idea ?
thanks in advance

I'm getting the following message running the botloader.php script:

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
The script had an error or it did not produce any output. If there was an error, you should be able to see it in the error log.

I've verified that all of the files and folders have been chmodded to 777.


Any assistance would be good.

that is interesting. it works just find for me on vb 3.6.5

it learns and retains the data from day to day. and you can see where it adds responses to it's file.

I was not able to connect to my database. Please try again later.

Is there still something like this TalkerBot Add-on - Learning System https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=60429 ??

I know when i completey redid my forum that's when she started giving me that message as I deleted all the info on all the threads that she was selected to learn from. could this be why she is not working.

I would really like to know how to teach her stuff. ^_^ or have her learn.

come back Tim and help us all out. here.

I am having the same error before. Try to CHMOD it to 755.

It works! vB version: 3.6.7 pl1
