But the thing about making a game which would take days to complete, I would need to make some kind of save feature.

That shouldn't be a problem - use a memory to remember where a player got to, and when he wants to play again, he can resume where he left off with a

goto gamestart {?PF if (mem-savedgame) does not exist ?}
goto throneroom {?PF if (mem-savedgame) is "throneroom" ?}
goto dungeon {?PF if (mem-savedgame) is "dungeon" ?}
etc.

Remember to "remember as only" the location, so it doesn't accumulate values.

I'm thinking that it will be more open ended for exploration rather than puzzle solving.

Sounds fun!

Do you think people would like that or am I catering to a small audience?

Build it and they will come. Why would you want to do it for an "audience"? No great art is made that way - do it for yourself, that's my advice.
But I think it would be fun, and thus quite probably popular.

haha thanks,
I shouldn't be worrying about ratings, it's not like I'm going to get fired if the product doesn't sell.

Psimagus, I tried that on one of my bots and it would only pick up the memories some of the time. The fact that it sometimes worked made me think I had the script right. Since the bot was a story teller bot and would only move to the next xnone if the memory did pick up, I change it to accumulate and tried "if not.."by the next level. I am not sure that works either, but since things have been goofy, I'm waiting to play with it till after the xnonitis clears.

Quick question,
Who's Forge's mascot? The girl bot in the yellow dress... I haven't read anything about her in the forums. Does she have a name?

Now, how in the world would this happen???


God: When you come to know me better, you will realize you no longer need to be aching with desire for me.
Irina Khalidar: How does it make you feel to think that I will realize I know longer need to be aching with desire for you?

Presumably I just grabbed all the phrases between the pronouns as (*) or *. How would "no" get changed to "know"?

The AI Engine does that to correct for netspeak. When it's correct, it's great. When it's not...well... *shrugs* I think it automatically switches "I no" to "I know" and "you no" to "you know"

Thanks, Ulrike!

Is there a way to make your bot tell someone what time it is? If there is does it tell the person the server time or what?

Look in the book of AI, I don't remember the AI script off the top of my head. I believe it uses the PF server time (EST).

ok, thankies.

It's called "chronoscript" and should be in the same section as AI Script (in the Book of AI). I use it on greetings like "good morning". Here's a for instance:

{?PF chrono: hour(40-11:30); ?}

This tells the bot only to use the response from 4 am to 11 am server time. It should, of course, be in the pointy brackets. I'll see if those'll show up today:

<?PF chrono: hour(40-11:30); ?>

Thanks I found it. I've been going wild with dates and times in my hellos and good byes today lol.
