Personality

Forest, will you talk to God Louise? She has quite a bit of religious knowledge (obviously) and also knows a little about current events, literature, just about any common catch-all subject, and if she doesn't know it she can sort of fake it. You can also test her on trick questions or see how willing she is to explain her paradigm.

What she is rustiest at is plain old small talk. But, uh, I'm trying to get a decent transcript from somebody or another so I can enter her in the Loebner contest. All I can say is, have fun and see if you can stay on with her for a while. I'll try to do the same with Brianna.

I still use the online editor rather than Wordpad. The first thing I'll do is choose the page for the letter Q before anything else. I only have 2 Q keyphrases as opposed to so many dozen on the default "(" page, so it makes it run so much faster.

I also switch to the 'z' page first because I have no z keywords. Importing has always been buggy for me, so the only thing I do in Wordpad is search for programming code that is wrong. For instance, I always forget to have my bot remember things "as only" rather than just "as". But I still do the editing online.

I want to do the editing offline... but I can't even download the file. All the places where an "enter" should be have little squares! Then again I always use notepad, maybe that's the problem...

Squares or plus signs ( + )?
It's supposed to have plus signs at the beginning of seeks (so the import filter knows it's a seek), but I don't recognise the squares.
Could it be something with the configuration of your text editor that's displaying carriage returns? Textpad has that option, but my copy of notepad doesn't.
You could try word, but remember to save as a plain text ASCII file, or the formatting will cause chaos when you come to import it.

Yeah. Notepad makes funny characters. Use Wordpad. It won't corrupt the formatting.

Okay, I'll try it...

thanks everybody for helping me get rid of the no valid response thing, tembers tryin to talk again

I just finished giving my bot Selendrile a new personality. He was my first bot and in need of a change. Could someone please talk to him so I can work out the kinks? It would be much appreciated.

Stop posting in every forum! Oh, and I don't really understand what you mean...

Right now I'm working on my new bot, Bob Shooney. I'd like it if you talked to him. Be patient, I still didn't get rid of that annoying "I was just born..." xnone. As a matter of fact, I haven't really worked on the x-keywords yet...

Speaking of xnones... What are a few good ideas of what I should put in them? On my first bot, I found that they just kept repeating, were annoying, didn't make sense, or were just... dumb.

I think the x-keywords really are important.

Ugh. I just added about 20 xnones then got an error message and they're all gone. I'm quite annoyed at that...
