Smackdork, just go to http://www.be9.net/BJ/ Psimagus has one GREAT tic tac toe plug in..!!!

those rankings are often the problem. That's why we need live chattersAmen to that..It is so helpful to get a good human chat. My bots do seem to react differently to a human. I don't know why? I have been fighting with ranks all this week..

Bah! But I like mine! I checked it out, and it's the same, but he uses a coordinate system.

Ok, so what is this raw mode you speak of?

it turns off the analysis and correction routines in the AIEngine, so you can enter stuff that's not in the Wordnet dictionary, or that you don't want interpreted according to the definitions in Wordnet.

I'm under the impression that, if I turn it on, it will not translate "ya," or whatever into "yes."

Indeed. But only for that keyphrase or seek - it has no global application. Just enter "raw" into the AIScript box, or add the AIScript tag {?PF raw;?} to the end of a seek.

What do you mean by making something a regular expression in raw mode?

add the suffix " (re)" to a keyphrase or seek to make it handle the context in regular expression mode (see http://www.regular-expressions.info/ for details, though the Forge uses a slightly non-standard flavour - just to keep us on our toes!) In combination with raw mode it's very handy for matching and handling punctuation, foreign words, numbers, etc.

hey people. yay! i got hello earthlings to alive

Thanks very much for the raw mode info. I was really excited to try it out... although it didn't work. I don't understand. I have the same problem with "not much" being recognized as xnone (even with rank set to 117). Any other ideas?

^not much$ (re) 20,0 {?PF raw;?} works like a charm.

(not much--20--0--raw) That worked! Thank you very much! That's been bothering me for awhile now. It won't work on the seek for the life of me, though.

Don't forget to use the raw in the box on the seek

Put raw in the AI box. No change. "bottom _" is still an insult. Why o why.

ok - an unexpectedly tough nut - goto Overkill sledgehammer approach. Try:

[b][o]([t]+)[o][m] [l][e][f][t] (re)
[b][o]([t]+)[o][m] [r][i][g][h][t] (re)
[b][o]([t]+)[o][m] [m][i]([d]+)[l][e] (re)

and keep the raw mode. If that doesn't work, nothing will!

^bottom right$ (re) in raw mode, rank=30 works fine for me.
