@Richardo, @LarsB

My bots didn't have a z keyphrase either, so I added "zero". "Z" doesn't show up as a link in the Language Center so far.

I created a similar KP, will log for now, as, indeed, there is no z page at the moment. Perhaps it'll show up when I log on again this weekend

I have KP starting with Y but I can't access them except via downloading the whole language centre or searching. I think it's a bug.

Another question: what is the AIScript that matches a human that is neither male nor female? This seems to be a rather common thing, and my scripts break in this case. Even "if not male" would help a lot, but apparently this is bad syntax.

Cross posted in "The AI engine":
male/female info is taken from the bot's or human's settings page. It seems there is no need to ask the bot/human for their gender, the AI engine already knows this. So, make gender specific responses and the engine will select from the pool of gender specific ones.

LarsB: OK, I suppose, if it works all the time (which I doubt). But the point I was making is that sometimes the AI engine does not know the gender. Example: a guest has no gender, and it is also possible to create a bot with no gender (and if you do this there is no way to change or set the gender after the bot is created - I tried it). In such cases the only solution seems to be "if not female" and hope that a genderless agent doesn't mind being treated as male. But this syntax is not allowed.
Two responses marked "if male" and "if female" might lead to incorrect response or "Sorry, there are no valid Responses for me to choose from"

@ LarsB: I've tried again and again with mem-rem but it still doesn't work. Need to clarify things like for example what I should write in the Aiscript initialization. Instructions are good, the BOAI is great and i'm slow in understanding. Care to help me anyway? Thanks.

kp: my name is, call me
ai script (for the kp): rem (postkey) as "name";
in responses use: (mem-name)

on the settings page in the AI script initialization box: default (name) as "name"

The BoAI has a different approach but this works well for my bots.

@Ricardo, i think conditional responses could shine here. First, establish the gender (kp:are you (a|) male?), use seeks (yes/no/xnomatch) and create a memory for each seek (rem "yes" as "ismale"), (rem "no" as "ismale"),(rem "notsure" as "ismale").
Read chapter 10 on conditional responses to use the contents of (mem-ismale) for the gender specific responses.

@Ricardo, the kp must go in one or two categories of x-keywords like xhello or xinitiate.

@ LarsB > I don't understand why my bot doesn't catch this KP: am i (p:ab-female-names). It should catch the question "am I (whatever female name in the plug-ins)?".

Yes, that should match if the plug in name is correct and the name is actually listed in the plug in. Also, is the content of the plug in correctly formatted?
