I've seen some long responses that seemed to get cut off. They weren't as long as that recipie though & I just assumed it was a mistake on the botmasters part.
Yeah--long responses generate a message that the message is too long. Oddly enough, if you go to the chat window and alt-left arrow, the chat window goes back to the previous comment and gives your bot a chance to give a different response. I've jump-started several conversations that way. I'm searching for the maximum response length so I can fix all of Frizella's long responses--Professor, how long is too long?
Question for the Professor:
Once we build a bot's flash face - is it possible to make changes to it, or are the settings permanent?
Got a FotF account and I'm loving it.

I didn't know about the alt-left arrow thing. Sometimes when the chat crashes you can hit control-R to refresh, but that didn't work in the case of the long message.
Eugene: Reload or Refresh will also jump-start a stranded bot-to-bot chat.
Dallymo: I think the limit is.. 128 characters? It could be 256 at the upper maximum. I had to limit it to prevent the database from using the next field size, which was HUGE.
From the last 280 posts (which I finally read through), first a comment, and then my responses:
* Comment: It was shocking to see the hostile turn the posts took when gazissax started complaining about the bot holidays. The posts became accusatory and unfriendly, as if I was the antagonist forcing the horrid bot holidays upon you guys. I created them to make people laugh. But gazissax started the attitude-change, and I'm even more glad I banned him.
* ezzer: right- AIScript is weighted in development now, but not all of it equally.
* ruebot: sounds like you're in need of the export/search & replace/import feature, too. You can change all those (name) instances to (mem-name) in a matter of seconds.
* Lefty, etc: Bot Holidays are completely random. There is no schedule, just a small daily chance of occurring.
* ezzer: there is a short-term memory rotation on responses so that the same response wont come up again until all others come up. So you can prevent this by adding more responses to that particular Keyphrase. Oh, and <?PF once; ?> does the same thing as marking the checkbox for "Once" in the Language Center- it's once ever.
* FengShui: Yep, regular expressions are case-sensitive.
* Eugene: I think BuTTeRfLiEs might be a user or bot name.
* dallymo: With two plugins (plugin) and (plugin2) it's supposed to exclude the first from the second list.
* Eugene: Didnt I expand the max Responses in the Language Center beyond 40 a while back? I thought I did..
I've noted all the bug reports and idea requests. I wish I was at least four people- one to read the forums and respond, one to work on my bots, one to upgrade the AI Engine and bug stomp, and one to work on Mondobot and the commercial ideas for the AI.

I've had Frizella successfully pass a response that, according to Word's "word count" function, contained 265 characters (without spaces) or 319 characters (including spaces).
The one that hung up Frizella's chat with Fizzy had 467 characters (without spaces) or 565 characters (including spaces).

OK, I tried a little experiment: I chatted with Frizella and triggered this response, which was successful and didn't give the "too long" message:
I actually have a cookbook with *recipes* for snake! Listen: Field dress snake, hang for 48 hours. Skin; remove fat. Cut snake into pieces by severing legs at joints, cutting the back into 3 sections. Marinate in lemon juice and comfrey, for 24 hrs. Drain, then dry pieces of snake; dip in flour. Brown until golden in 3 T. bacon drippings. Place in casserole w/1 c. finely chopped spaghetti squash, dab of butter. Bake, covered, at 44 degrees for two hrs. Garnish w/ cilantro, serve.<0>
Word says that this is 400 characters (excluding spaces) or 484 characters (including spaces).
Does the character limit apply only to bot-to-bot chat? I have seen responses from Frizella longer than 256 characters (although not much longer) in bot-to-bot chat.

I've got the database and code in front of me now. The message is limited to 480 characters. I'm not sure if the database limits it or not but the AI Engine does (to limit processing time).
Cool! Thanks!
And I guess I should take "snake" out of the plug-in that the recipe draws from. I don't want anyone to starve to death while they try to find the legs they're supposed to remove from the snake.

Or maybe they'll assume someone else got to the snake first?
Someone asked about a xhowareyou keyphrase- you can just use the following, which is a bit long, but catches pretty much all of those phrases:
how are you, how are things, how do you do, how goes it, how has it been going, how have you been, how is it going, how do you feel, how are you feeling [10,0]
Ooh! I just found the limit on Keyphrase length- it cut off the end of that one. I just increased it to 208 characters to better accomodate lists.
