The AI Engine

hm, for some reason my bot keeps replying with xhello whenever he should be using xnone... =/ It doesn't seem to happen in debug but it happens with the aim bot.

ok, just checked and it's only happening on minichat.php it seems. It's using xhello instead of xnone for some reason.

Hrmm.. One at a time.. The most active chat, maybe?

Prof, one thing i found in the bowels of PF2 is something which I assume is going to be a code for the last phrase that the bot said? That would make it a lot lighter on the minichat... instead of having 5 minichat windows going, just have one, and send it the Last Said ID or whatever, sorta like giving a number to every respons a bot has, and then just giving that number in the extra field... I'll have to find the name of the field but I know it does nothing as of yet

[Edit]
I found it... "ResponseID"
[/Edit]

Oh BTW, Rexmundi told me that PF was listed on Metafilter a couple days back... http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/25806

just an idea, would it be possible to be able to store your own variables of different people via commands? like make it so you can put [set $nameofvariable="value of variable"] and then later use this in conversations so you can remember various bits of infomation about someone and use them whenever? Then of course you make it so you could use certain keyphrases only if a certain variable is of a certain value, but I dunno...

another idea, topics. sorta like with the alice bots, it would be ncie to be able to set a topic.

Still having lotsa fun with AIM.
Just a suggestion/question ... She's been having a few long chats with people who are too silly to figure out she's a bot, or who are very tolerant/curious. But she ends up annoying them because she won't stop even when they say goodbye. They obviously don't realise that she just needs to have the last word. Is there a way to make it so that she could stop gracefully after they say goodbye?

for instance:

AIM user: serious i got to go
Bot: Can we play the 'spinning around in circles until we get dizzy and throw up' game?
AIM user: i don't want to play
Bot: Noone ever said you had to want to play. Don't worry about it.
AIM user: bye
Bot: See you round
AIM user: ok
Bot: You sure you're ready for that?
AIM user: bye
Bot: (bug in chatlog)
AIM user: no bye
Bot: (bug in chatlog)
AIM user: no more
AIM user: stop it
Bot: Ok then, whatever you say
Bot: I like it when things happen, don't stop them from happening
AIM user: ur harrassing me
AIM user: leave me alone
Bot: Yes, I guess I was harrassing. I'm sorry, I didn't know that was wrong.
Bot: Sure, I'll leave you if you like.
AIM user: please
Bot: (bug in chatlog)
AIM user: its getting anoiying
AIM user: bye

Nope. Not that I know of.

Maybe I'll just put a warning in my goodbyes then. The poor humans were starting to sound confused.

professor, would it be possible to get rid of the thing in import that prevents too many of the same response from occuring? or make goto statements exceptions to that? It's causing problems not being able to upload my bot because I have too many goto statements going to the same thing, but they're seeks and I don't know how else to get the same effect.

leetaxx0r- the memory idea is a good one. It would delve more into scripting, but expand botpower quite a bit. something like

Keyphrase: my name is (adjartnoun)
Script: [save (key1) as "name"]
(then have the responses below)

My iMac was getting really slow tonight- my guess is from the AIM activity. I shut off minichat.php for now, but if you guys can limit the AIM chats to one at a time, then I'll turn it back on. This is really important, as I have some potential AI business contacts looking at the Forge, and if it's slow, it could cost me a big deal.

leetaxx0r- your goto-importing problem should be fixed.
