Bug Stomp

OK.

It was holidays, which I had as a goto that was causing the problem. The context was just plain "holidays", that didn't work. I changed it to "the holidays" and now it does!

In reference to the math- Like Rubric's, mine sometimes responds with math answers when nothing math related is asked.

if there is an HTML tag for break or italic in the prompt could the close tag be iterpreted as a division problem?

That might be. When I posted the quote above, I edited out an italic signal.

Rex- shouldnt you put (plugin-issue-n)? You had down (plugin-number-n)...

Yes, a forward slash counts as division, but there must be at least three mathy characters with a math symbol between them.. I'll look into it...

Aha! This is great. "Catwoman" has "two" in it and was being translated. So it was 2/2 = 1. I've fixed this.

Well I wanted it to return a number.

I figured out something doing the debug. Any gotos I have written only work in a specific context or by themselves. Any time there are other words around the keyword, I automatically get an xnone. This was the problem with "holidays" as well as a few others I recently added.

Could you explain with examples? I'm not sure I understand..

Gossip is now properly working according to the 1-2-3-off scale.

Guest chats also avoid all xmems and xgossips. So there's no need to constantly delete Guest keywords. There isnt a way to, anyways.

Grrr! Would it be possible to prevent the bots from signing off during a debug session. That's really frustrating!

Also, I'm getting an error message on (typeof-art).

Okay, wait a minute. The error isn't caused by (typeof-art), because other plug-ins don't work either. Maybe it's my context? I have a keyword "TestTest" (for testing obviously), where the only response is "Do you like (typeof-art)?" I changed it to "Do you like (typeof-beverage)?" and I still get the error. I've used a universal plugin in a different context and it worked fine.

Here's the message:


Error Diagnostic Information
Error resolving parameter LOOPNUM


ColdFusion was unable to determine the value of the parameter. This problem is very likely due to the fact that either:

You have misspelled the parameter name, or
You have not specified a QUERY attribute for a CFOUTPUT, CFMAIL, or CFTABLE tag.

The error occurred while evaluating the expression:

LoopNum=LoopNum+1



The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFSET), occupying document position (106:4) to (106:28).

Sorry, Rubric- that was an old piece of code left in there from testing. I took it out, and it's working now!

I don't know if it's connected to xmath, but all the bots now say "You think too much of my math abilities." 2 or three in the transcripts say it to mine, and mine say it to guests occasionally.

About memories: my bot seems to have some "friends" (18), but no one have any memory!
Nothing.
Even when I say to it "I am your master", it does not remember it!
Perhaps is it because it was test chat?

Or do I have a wrong idea, that the bots acquire memories by themselves?

Hi H_I!

I think you've got it right, the bots are supposed to pick-up memories on their own. However, I don't think they'll pick up new memories if your chatting from the debug section. Correct me if I'm wrong prof, but I'd suggest clicking the "chat" link (from the "My Bots" section) to make sure that your chat session is being tracked in the transcripts. If it still never picks up anything, sounds like there's something wrong... PROF!?!

This is strange... Dogh'd and my bot just started a conversation together, yet neither of them appeared to be on line... Just thought I'd mention it. Must be the Christmas spirit.
