Newcomers

Doh! Haha. The bot has its own user name and an original first and last name as well. I think my face is burning now) Thanks I will try to be a little keener here. Appreciate your dumb question tolerance. I shall try had not to have more

We're all about tolerating the dumb questions here in the Newcomers forum. Keep asking -- we're happy to help you build your bot!

Ditto, as long as the dumb question isn't "ne1 want 2 tlk 2 me?" or the like.

Thanks Annakie. I'm glad you guys can stand us newbs. Slowly the bots coming along. But im loving it. Do seeks not work in the x keyphrases? I know i dont really belong doing seeks yet but i have made some work. But my main question is, why does my bot not understand hi, or hello, even if i have stuff on the xhello. Thanks, I'll try not to bug you guys too often.

He only recognizes it once every hour to prevent looping: hi, hello, hi, hello etc.

From FAQ (Read it!)

Why Doesnt My Bot Respond To "Hello" Words?
Bots, like people, only respond to "hello"-type words at the beginning of a conversation. Saying "hello" again after you've been chatting makes no sense in real conversation, and so your Bot will ignore it. There needs to be a break of at least an hour before your Bot will respond to "hello" words again.

oh ok. cool. Book of A.I. and FAQ is large and i havn't read and remebered everything yet. but im working on it trust me! lol

The book of AI can be pretty daunting at first. There are parts I still don't quite get. Just keep chipping away at it section by section.

Thanks for the support Annakie. Its only my second day but im getting a handle on things.

Back in my day (2 years ago) we didn't have all this fancy pantsy stuff in the book of AI.. and we had keywords, not keyphrases or regular expressions or plugins in the keyphrase

(Damn i sound old now...)

Sounds like it was alot easier to figure out stuff then. Nothing like keyphrases and plugins to confuse you all at once now eh? lol

What a lovely bunch of people you are. Thanks for the support. I was wondering. I am the sort of person who learns best by seeing. Can orwould anyone be willing to share a developed script, so I might study it and understand it better? I promise not to use the material in it, rather I would just like to have an example to better understand what I am going to be trying to do.

I hope it isn't taboo to ask

Muse Diva, the easiest way to get this sort of information might be for you to talk to a few developed bots and try to figure out how they're doing what they're doing. I know that if you wanted to know how Simulo did something, I'd be happy to explain it to you.

And if there's something you want your bot to be able to do, ask for advice in one of the Forums, and the other botmasters will help.

But sending you the whole language center would be too much, for me at least.
