To prob123 and others interested in the problems of importing huge bots:

Well, I was just defeated twice running in importing 'Irina Khalidar'. I got to the "proceed with import" stage, but that seemed to time out.

This is rather perplexing; one would suppose that the process of hunting for errors would take more time than simply writing the file into the language center. Yet I got through the error-hunting phase, but not the final import phase.

The one time I got prob to import was on the normal import setting which takes much more time listing every line. ???

I think importing is a bit hit or miss, though I've done well at 3 AM central time. I tried for days to import Gabibot, and though I never got a successful import message, I did notice new phrases and changes in her language data base. She was not "warm' and did not appear on the bot list. Later, I spell checked Spikebot and uploaded him successfully (after a few tries). He had fewer improvements, but I got to the successful import message and he was then warm and on the botlist.

I am guessing that partial imports affect your bots (once you hit the proceed button) but I am not sure if everything is updated without the full import process.

Bev: Oh, that would be nice! Thank you for mentioning it!
Prob123: You know, it's paradoxical, but my experience too has led me to at least suspect that the normal import is actually more likely to succeed!

Importing has become such a tedious process for "Irina Khalidar", even when it succeeds, that I am calling a halt to major revisions; I will make fine-tuning revisions at the Forge.

Working on the web interface isn't that bad. If you haven't tried it, give it a go - you might find you like it. The last 4Mb of Brother Jerome all went in through the web, rather than by importing, so it's not hopelessly impractical.

To SETKEH regarding plugins. They aren't really 'plugged in' so much as referenced. For example you've got a bot that's a jazz musician. You might want him to say something like "I once played a gig with (jazzmusician)." Each time that response is called a name will be selected randomly from the plugin (jazzmusician). Piece of cake. Mmmm, cake.

Hi ...I think I may know already but I want to be absolutely sure here. Where is the keyphrase box?

I am not sure if this is what you mean. but click my bots, click language center. there is a Add New Keyphrase box..there is a white box for your Keyphrase, then rank, emotion and Ai script. then six boxes for responses.

Yeah, and if your on the Keywords page click on the alphabet link.

hello i am becky

Either I am misunderstand something or xnomatch isn't working.

As I understand it, if you have the seek "xnomatch"
after a response, then, whatever the guest says next, the bot should respond with either whatever follows the "xnomatch", or with whatever follows some other seek at the same location. Are the x-keywords (e.g., "xcompliment") supposed to override this? Is there anything else that can override this? If so, is there any way to override the override?

Oops - I forgot to add, that in my bots, xnomatch is apparently constantly being subverted. Control goes somewhere else, destroying the continuity I am trying to create.
