Many questions are answered in the FAQ.

The indentation is messed up in my previous message, but you get the idea, I hope!

Can we manifest positive friendships that have gone bad???

Can friendships that have gone the wrong way, be manifested to become positive ones?? Any input would be most appreciated it, thanks everyone.

It depends. I am not sure what you mean by manifest. If a friendship or relationship has issues, you can try to work it out. You can reflect on what happens and what you want to take away from it either way. If by "manifest" you mean sitting alone trying to psychically control the other person, I think not.

Hello, I am new here and had a question. Why does it seem that my chat connections keep getting dropped. After maybe 5 minutes or so I lose the chat window and then the site will not load and then I need to log back in.

Perhaps we should sic Glindar on him if he comes back

Hi dendem. Welcome to the Forge!

It could be that your ISP is dynamically allocating you IP numbers (don't worry, you don't actually need to know what that means if it sounds like gibberish.) Try unticking the "IP Security" box in the "My Settings" section, and it should cure the problem.

Thanx psimagus, I wil try that now. Not gibberish to me. I am a database programmer and former Tech Support for 1&1 Internet Inc.

good luck! And I look forward to meeting your bots.

You might be interested in some of the material on Brother Jerome's website (hosted on 1&1 coincidentally ) - http://www.be9.net/BJ/
There are some code examples and other resources, as well as links to the PF Wiki and other stuff that (I hope) might be helpful.

By the way, I have created a plug-in, (obscenity), which everyone can use, which matches common obscene expressions. To get rid of most obscene users, just write:

(obscenity) [127,-5]
hangup

As you know from the book of AI, there is a built-in plug-in, (iam), which is triggered the keyphrases

you are
you are (adjartnounprep)

[I presume that the first one stores (postkey).] There are several others like this. But you can create your own variants. For example, a memory (guest_thinks_x_is_good)
could be created from the keyphrase,

(*) is good [0,0]

Thus:

(*) is good [0,0] <?PF rem (key1) as "guest_thinks_x_is_good"; ?>

[The AIscript shouldn't be wrapped like that, it's just the way this text box works.]

Then in xnone, you might write,

Do you still think that (mem-guest_thinks_x_is_good) is good?

Or, you could ask yourself what questions the guest is likely to ask. If you think he's going to ask, "What is my dog's name?" then you ask him first, and remember it.

What is the name of your dog?
+ (My dog's name is|) (noun) [0]
Your dog's name is "(key2)"? <?PF rem (key2) as "guest_dog_name"; ?>
+ yes [0]
Got it! Thanks!
+ xnomatch [0]
Please write the name of your dog on a line by itself! Thanks!
+ (noun) [0] <?PF rem (key1) as "guest_dog_name"; ?>
So, your dog's name is (mem-guest_dog_name)?

[and so on]


and/or wait for him to bring up the subject of his dog:

My dog [0,0]
What is your dog's name?
+ my dog's name is (noun) [0]
Your dog's name is (key1)?
+ yes [0] <?PF rem (key2) as "guest_dog_name"; ?>
Got it! Thanks!
+ no [0]
goto my dog
+ xnomatch [0]
I don't understand. Do you want me to know your dog's name?
+ yes [0]
goto my dog



This way of doing it runs some risk of an infinite loop in a conversation with another bot.

I presume that this text box will mess up the indentation as usual. Does anyone know a way to avoid this?
