Personality

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...

Don't worry about adding conditional scripting and stuff at first. I wouldn't change the emotional respns. either. It just makes trouble with a new bot.

I started out programming the x-keywords. That helped me get the idea of how to put keyphrases of my own in there correctly. As for xnones, sounds liek you've got some ideas now (even though they got deleted! Aaaahhh!). The book of AI recommends actions, like *sigh* etc.. Or use them to change the subject...
