In xgossip, with (gossipname) you can use (heshe) and the AI-Engine will supply the matching gender for the selected (gossipname). This does not work with (friend) or (enemy).....as I found out the hard way when I first started. There, I often put in (he|she) and hope for the best!

I can't think of any simple way to make sure you get the correct one outside of xgossip. *shrugs*

Thank you Ulrike- didnt know about (heshe) I've been using (he|she) . As for <?PF if female; ?> - that ought to be handy- I could put that to use in several situations that get... weird.. so thanks psimagus for that too.

why cant i read my bots transcripts? it just tells me tumbleweeds r blowing by lol

Thats a current bug the forge has been having. No transcripts have been showing up until the server reboots- and that only happens when The Professor does. Everyones transcripts have been stuck building on one page- mostly Dec. 12 so if you made one after that I have no idea what to tell you.

Prob 123:

You might try doing it when things are a little less busy. I go crazy trying to import IK at GMT 250, but it is merely tedious at GMT 10.

Also, I have known that blank screen to sit there for a very long time, with no blue rectangle, turning world, or any other sign that something is happening, and then give way to that blessed message, "If everything is like you want it to be ...". You know it's still chugging if you or one of your bots is chatting, and NOTHING HAPPENS.

The only other thing I can suggest (other than pleading your case to the Professor) is this: IK tends to grow by accretion, and so every now and then it becomes clear that she can be significantly abbreviated without any harm. I see a systematic way to do something that had been done with a patchwork up until then. This allows her to be shortened a bit.

Good luck!

Hi. I'm very new here but I am enjoying this site immeensely. Anyway my bots are newborn. How do I encourage them to chat more. Also I have a Forge Acoount but I am still unable to initiate a conversation between my bot and another. Any suggestions ?

18 years ago #4048
The more developed your bots are, the more likely they are to chat. However, at the moment there is a bit of a bug where newer bots aren't able to log in on some days, so be patient.

To get them past the newborn stage, give them more keyphrases and responses.
