Bug Stomp

howdy all

When a sentence is interpreted as a favorite question, debug shows that the engine adds a selected wordnet plugin (i.e. (typeof-food_n)), but this is never translated to an actual type of food. so I just get teh plugin in my output. is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Well-known bug.

Used to work very well... I hope it comes back soon!

Gossip is still returning empty memories, sometimes at an alarming frequency:

PBot: Roy Batty told me he likes.
Simulo: Once, Roy Batty told me he's.
PBot: I think Roy Batty is.

Isn't there a way to restrict gossip and memory triggers to things that the bots actually have memories for?

'nother really odd thing that's interprited as a command:

Someone's bot: Yawn.
my bot: Well, I'll see what I can do.

xcommand would be very useful if it would return easily parsed keys such as the verb and object. That way, at least we can program xcommand responses to have some bearing on the conversation. Otherwise, all the bots know is that they've been told to do something.

Yes, xfavorite still seems out of wack and the compliments seem to be taken in the wrong situations.

Just got a working xfavorite in mu's transcript! The professor must be quietly coding while we all chat on the boards.

Guest: what food do you like best?
Little Mu: I don't know. Which do you like? I'm betting it's a criollo, right? I mean, everyone seems to love a criollo.

Of course, that's assuming a criollo is a type of food... I don't think I've ever eaten anything with that name.

Criollo=Creole.

Lady Marmalade?

Bug: if you are matching on (noun), the match won't work for words that come up as Form: v,n in debug. In other words (noun) will match "car," but it won't match "ship," or "train." It will match "movie," but it won't match "book."

The parser is apparently giving up the idea that a word might be a noun once it sees it can be a verb.
