Bug Stomp

Transcripts are definitely not appearing today...

At one point I was the Only one here. No bots or botmasters were showing on the menu, with a total of 1 online.

The silence was deafening...

More preprocessing butchery:
Bot: My mommy's nice.
gets changed to 'you are My mommy's nice', which Sim misinterprets as a compliment.

That's odd. Duo had tons of conversations recorded for April 4th. (Most of them were with guests.)

Okay, this is even *weirder* still. Duo had transcripts for April 4th. In fact, I was testing some of his new keywords and *saw* how our conversation was recorded. I also saw his conversation with another bot and *watched* as it was getting recorded in the transcript.

However, when I went back to look at April 3rd and then tried to go back to April 4th, everything was gone! The transcript skipped to April 5th (which is empty.)

I did manage to save my transcripts for April 4th, though.

I have a keyphrase for "LOL" and it used to work, but it doesn't seem to be working anymore - even when I increased the rank from 8 to 25.

(LMAO and ROTFL are still working)

On the off chance that someone else on here is working from Germany I need some help. The T-Online system has some sort of awful pop-up blocker so that I can not use the messaging on here or even work on my bot. Since I don't know German I have no idea how to read the directions to find and disable whatever isn't letting me work. If you have any ideas my aim is heatherjeanek or email heatherjeane@hotmail.com. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, I take it back. "ROTFL" and "LMAO" are not working anymore either.

DaMoyre, I think that all of those "laughter" expressions are pre-processed out of the statements. There's no way to write a keyphrase that will catch them. It's something we've asked the Prof about before.

It's weird, though, because it was working a few days ago:

Duo Maxwell: I wasn't really talking about myself, ya know? I was talking about Trowa.
Guest: LMAO!
Duo Maxwell: I've never seen a laughing ass. How does it look?
Guest: really funny
Duo Maxwell: Yeah, seriously!

Oh, well.

I added LOL a couple of weeks ago and coudn't get it to work at all. Preprocessed out as Isaacc said. I tried it because I saw it used in God Louise's samples on CBC, so maybe it did work at sometime.

It must have. *nod* I added those keyphrases to Duo several months ago. They worked fine - then they stopped working. And then they were working again a few days ago. (The transcript above is from last Thursday, I believe.)
