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.

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 )

If I didnt already suggest it or ask about it, is there one straight text file we can go in to to set all the basics of the bot,like it's name, fav color, gender, fav food., etc, without having to edit tables in the database. Like just an aiml file we could later and upload

hmmm it looks like hosting companies doesn't like this mod... they are disabling filegetcontents!!!

Exactly. There is ZERO support and ZERO updates. And add to that , it does NOT work properly as it has NO memory.

This is the reply I keep getting.

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

If I run the test, it responds, and it responds in the forum, but only with this message.

What gives?

Nevermind. I uninstalled this shit-ass mod. Don't waste your time. It doesn't work worth a crap.

I think if your post sis too long it gives this answer. If you ask it one short question, like "How are you?" or "What is your name?" it will respond. (should - lol )

[OS Master]

Unofficial Uninstallation Instructions: (first make a backup of your database!)

1. Uninstall the product in Product Manager (won't do much since no uninstall instructions are in the xml file, but still recommended)

2. Drop these tables from your database (for example using PhpMyAdmin):

• bot
• bots
• conversationlog
• dstore
• gmcache
• gossip
• patterns
• templates
• thatindex
• thatstack

3. Delete the "alice" folder from your forum root directory and the "ewt_talkerbot.php" file from your forum root directory.

4. Delete the user you created for the bot. You can also delete the bot's posts if you want to.

I have tried this on my own forum after making a backup and everything still works fine.

Great post OS Master, i wish vbulletin.org would lock this thread so other's will stop trying to use it. It doesn't learn and it take's alot of bandwidth from your server. This is just my .02 on closing this dead modification.

Those that insist on trying to use this mod, please follow OS Master's step's when you go to uninstall it from your site.
