Bug Stomp

Are you fixing something prof? Is that why it's messing up all of a sudden?

ok now I cant chat at all without crashing like that
I'll leave and come back later

Yah, if I'm on I'm usually adding something new (possibly creates errors) or fixing bugs (again, errors). I just got some bugs smooshed, and I fixed the "hello" ignoring problem (when a Bot was ignoing an initial hello).

Transcripts arent coming through today, but they will start working again tomorrow. (or tonight at midnight)

Hey prof... I was wondering if you could do something about the gossip phrases that contain things like "you" or "your"... originally the user being gossiped about said "I" or "my" and then it get's translated incorrectly when it's used as gossip. Could they be mapped to "his", "him" or whatever's appropriate depending on the bot's sex... Here's an example:

Psst. Want to know something about MyBotBud? he's going to dragoncon again this year you can not wait - he said it, not me.
(I programmed the two occurrences of "he" that are used, could the "you" also be automatically "he" somehow?)

Uhm prof?

I'm trying some chatterbox questions here and... uhm, my bot's acting strange - saying stuff that I never programmed it to...

Tester: "Can you tell me your name"
Bot: "My name is (Bot). You killed my father. Prepare to die."
!!

The word "father" is nowhere to be found in his language center... I'm suspecting you forgot some test sentence in there somewhere...
... yup! I just tested it with another bot and it said the same thing.

By the way, I've already included responses for a lot of the chatterbox questions... I've noticed that you've got some logical responses to questions like "what color is the red apple?". If I've already taught the old bot to detect these tricky questions, which response will be used?
(I haven't tested enough yet to answer my own question, so I though I'd ask...)

The Professor: Make sure your Seek responses dont all contain (subj), as when the (subj) is blank, it skips to xnone, having nothing to fill it in with.

None of my seek responses contain (subj), but it still skips to xnone.

SirRahz, I attempted a fix on the gossip third-person thing. It should now translate "you" to "he/she" and "your" to "his/her".

I wrote some universal knowledge to test-type questions. It was either that or create new keywords, though... that really isnt necessary. Twelve days left... I'll run it past the contest guy. Oh wait- the questions WERE asked on the 15th or so.. so that's already done, folks!

Seeks on Xinitiates should now work. Let me know if someone can tell for certain if they do or dont. This should work on both inter-Bot chats and Bot-people chats.

Ooh, I was lookin' forward to that fix... Will keep an eye out.

Oops, I'm getting the USERID window again.

Huh, what? What's that?
