TomBot v1.1 vB AI User Bot

Hi after reading the forums i have seen many people after a hack like this so here it is.

This has been installed and testing on a busy live server and it worked fine thats why im posting it in here right away.

I can not hack that much if theres a prob but i try my best to, i also add this is my first time so i have tryed my very best to make the install file easy to follow.

all the files you need are in the zip file just unzip it to your pc keeping the lay out how it is in the zip file and then following the install text file.

What does this hack do?

Basicy it add's a chat bot to a forum on your board that will reply to users posts.

if you wish the bot not to reply to a post inside of the forum its set up to reply in just add ### anywhere in your post and it will stop the bot from replying.

You may give the bot its own profile on the board eg av and sign to make it fit in abit better.

The bot will also learn things has it gets used more but if it gets to a point where it trys taking over the wrold please dont sue me.

[I forgot some important stuff earlier, so I deleted my post and am posting it here instead]

Here's a little guide I wrote that comes handy if you want to add extra AIML files without having to flush the old bot tables and without having to run the whole botloader process everytime you want to "teach" your bot something.

Do this.

Open alice/src/admin/botloader.php.

FIND AND DELETE:

deletebot();

Save and upload the file.

Open alice/aiml/startup.xml

FIND:

<learn>*</learn>

Replace with:

<learn>custom.aiml</learn>

Save and upload the file.

Now open notepad and paste this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<aiml>
<category>
<pattern>WHO IS MARTIN64</pattern>
<template>He is a vbulletin.org hacker.
</template>
</category>
</aiml>

Save the file as custom.aiml and upload it to your aiml directory. This is just an example of what you can have in your custom.aiml file. If you want to learn more about writing your own AIML files, visit this site: http://www.lfay.net/anna/aiml.html

Now, whenever you have added more information to your custom.aiml file and want to teach your bot more stuff, just upload custom.aiml and run botloader.php. This will add the extra AIML file to your database without flushing your old tables.

This means your bot will have 0 downtime when adding new AIML, as you don't have to redo the whole botloading process.

This hack looks pretty impressive, but how many queries will this add to my forums

It adds a couple of queries each time the bot is answering a post - this will greatly increase your server load - I'm on a dedicated server, and it's slowed down my site by quite a bit - we have almost 10,000 posts in my bot's forum alone now...
