Bug Stomp

Joe,

I don't think the memory is actually formed until after the response, so you should form it as
Pleased to meet you, (key1)... etc. Then in other responses, (mem-handle) should work.

The only problem with memories associated with guests is that the bots won't distinguish between different guests. My bot is always called a guest whatever the previous guest said their name was.

Duo doesn't seem to recognize the expression "hiya" as a greeting. So, I went ahead and added it as a keyphrase and ranked it rather high to see if he would pick it up, but no luck. He's still throwing xnones whenever "hiya" comes up.

Does anyone else have that problem?

Bug -

(adjartnoun) sometimes returns only the article in a match. Example:

phrase: do you have (adjartnoun)
input: do you have a hidden agenda?

(postkey): hidden agenda (5,6)
(subj): a (4)
(key1): a (4) // bug is here
(ssub): you (2)
(sub): you (2)
(submod): you (2)
(sv): do (1)
(v): do have (1,3)
(vmod): do have (1,3)
(sob): agenda (6)
(ob): a hidden agenda (4,5,6)
(obmod): a hidden agenda (4,5,6)
After (key)s: 1.08
KeySubject: " a"

"Hi" and all its variations are ignored by bots after the conversation is started. You can't even build keyphrases for them. Or, rather, you can build them, but they won't get caught.

this isn't quite a 'bug stomp' or a 'great quote', but it is another example of how some words should not be processed. my bot has a response that includes the words "reading orwellian novels". "orwellian" got processed into "or well you an"...

Isaac,

Thank you! I just realized that I was testing him *after* the conversation had already begun. I'd totally forgotten that bots would ignore any further greetings in mid conversation.

Thank you!

I'm not too sure what happened with either of these (consecutive) exchanges:

Neko-chan: ?
Simulo: What makes you think I have a Lang?
Neko-chan: America bites...
Simulo: I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to have to wait a little before I can do that.

I think that error has something to do with apostrophes being read as single quotes ... but I don't know anything about the programming language, so I can't be sure.

i have no idea, it happened right after this exchange:

Invader Zim: I'm an unstoppable death machine, you know.
Siseneg: the facts are obvious.

Maybe Zim was about to say something that included the phrase "job's tears" -- which is in the error message? I've seen that same sort of error message before in my own botchats, and it always seems to involve that sort of error in parsing an apostrophe.

that sounds like his rant.

i know Siseneg doesn't say anything about it.

Ooh, yeah it sounds like the single quotes are involved. Prof, try some kind of automatic / before the ' I think
