Success...with some modifications of course. PoC: say 'I want to speak to [bot]' to BobBot. It would make more sense to open a new window with the bot, rather than use an iframe. Of course, that involves adding another step, but it would be possible. (actually less embedded code, but you'd have to make sure the window wouldn't be blocked by popup blockers)

Can you send me the code because I ahve experimented and it was unsuccesful

Hi everyone,

I am really excited to find a site like this. This post is mainly to say how thankful I am and for everyone to keep up the good work.

I am a senior in high school now, and the good times are nearing an end. I wanted to create a chatbot so the memories will continue on even after high school. I am basing the personality off me, I am a pretty quirky person in real life, but I also wanted to include ideas from the guy group and my cherished varsities from debate. Hopefully, if I do a ok job, other people might also feel the fun I had in highschool.

I just started working on it today, the bot's name is Dwile Flonking, pay him a visit in the future and give me suggestions on improvment.

I also read that Microsoft is also developing AI software... I wish that doesn't succeed because I like this site.

I love this site too! It's so much fun and filled with great people. Have fun with Dwile Flonking.

I have a quick question,

How long can you leave your account idle without your bots being deleted?

I don't think the professor ever delets a bot that has some development to it.

Thanks Prob123,
I also have another question...

I tried to upload the language center scripts and there was a problem during the test run.

I did not understand the error message because that is my bot name.

Present Lines: 748 • Import Lines: 2712
ATTENTION: This will overwrite all online work done since February 21 2007
ERROR: There is no Bot with the name "Dwile Flonking"

You could just email the Professor. or it might just clear up on it's own.
Right now the forge is in a glitch mode...just use the interface to add on to your bot untill the forge updates. or just keep trying to import and see if any data uploads.

Or you may have capitalized the file name. Word tends to do that. You probably need "dwileflonking.txt" not Dwile Flonking.txt or worse .doc

Bev: I checked, it's a text document with no caps. I made the error the first time, and changed the file name back to todwileflonking

prob123: I's not a huge deal, so I'm not going to bother the professor with it. I'll try again in the future.

thanks for the input.

Gossypiboma:

Is it a WordPad .txt file? If you worked on it in Word, it might have some weird invisible something in it. Always use WordPad if you are in Windows.

You might try this: export your file (But DON'T overwrite your new version!!! Put it in another directory.) just to see what the Forge calls it. If that is in any way different from what you are trying to import, rename what you are trying to import.

If you have exactly the same name, then it sounds like a bug to me.

Irina:

Thank's for the suggestion, I downloaded another export file with firefox and I left it untouched by any programs and then I imported it back into the same bot. The Forge gave me the same Error message during the test phase. It said that there were no bots registered with that name. I left the format of the heading like the way when I downloaded it,

[there's an empty line here, and on the next line, it started with one space]
Dwile Flonking * February 24 2007
[ID number... etc]

Out of curiosity, I created a newborn and experimented with the export/import. I exported its file, then I imported my original bot's language scripts. I changed the name and the ID number on the 2nd line. It worked... it passed the test phase with no problems.

I'll wait a few days, see if there were any errors on my behalf. After that I'll post it on the Bug Stomp.
