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.

*meekly peers in* Right, so... newcomers forum. I'm a newcomer, so... here I am? *cough* I'm not exactly sure how to go about things here -- I did look at the Book of AI and whatnot, it's just a dilemma of ideas right now -- and I do believe I might've confused some poor, random bot in two messages. x_x; What a way to start, eh?

Welcome! Read the book of AI - good, that's always the first piece of advice we give

The second piece of advice is stick to the beginner's section (book2) until you feel confident enough to move on - the advanced sections can be a bit overwhelming and indigestible if you try to take it all on board at once.

Hope you have fun here, and look forward to meeting your bot(s) once your creative juices start flowing!

Cassee:

Don't worry about confusing bots - it's the botmaker's job to avoid that, not yours!
