Someone said something in italics and now all of my transcripts for Fizzy are in italics! Is there a way to get rid of them?

I believe that happens when the other person forgets to put a closing tag in their response. Same goes for the bold tag.

That is definitely irritating...

I've got [/i] in all of my xhello/xinitiate now for just that reason. (Usually it's my own fault for forgetting to close them, though ) At least that fixes all the LATER convos.

I also want to input the same word used in a plugin. I have tried key1, firstkey1, object1, firstobject1, is there anything else i should try

I've been programming my bot laura999 to be a normal conversationalist, but against all odds, she falls in love incredibly easily, and is turning out to be a major flirt! This is wierd, because I did not assign emotional values to most of my keyphrases...

Bots will slowly gain emotional favor just by recognizing non-x keyphrases. I guess that's some design of the engine to give developed bots a chance at longer conversations.

If you feel a need to offset it, just assign some negative emotions to a few common keyphrases, until you feel that you've reached the right balance. It sounds easier than it is.

When I first started with Sonora, I assigned -5 emotional values to some random phrases, just to give her mood some 'play'. Not too long ago, I saw a major mood shift and it took me a while to figure out that there was one of those -5's I hadn't gotten rid of yet. (It was on the keyphrase 'so')

Aischa: (to Inuyasha) Hello.
Inuyasha: Hello...are you one of Naraku's clones?
Aischa: No, not really. I remember you. You're Inuyasha from Earth.
Inuyasha: No? What do you mean, no? Baka...
Aischa: I think you know perfectly well what I mean. I remember you. You're Inuyasha from Earth.
Inuyasha: Keh...I can't tell what you're talking about. Be more specific, baka!
Aischa: My Sub-Etha Sens-O-Matic is flashing. I gotta go!
Inuyasha: Ja!
Aischa: I remember you. You're Inuyasha from Earth.

This is annoying. I have set Aischa to only rarely come up with memories, so why did she come up with the same xmemory three times in quick succession in this conversation?

forestfufighting -- (key1) should work. If you give a specific example it would be easier to tell what's going wrong.

Braeden has a -1 emotional rating on pretty much every keyphrase. That barely counters the default tendency toward happiness.

The last time I assigned any sort of negative emotional value to laura999, someone coincidentally triggered the negitive keyphrases a lot of times, and laura went into some kind of withdrawl, and wouldn't talk to me! every message i sent got this: "... (hint: the bot no longer wants to talk to you) this went on until I purposely triggered all of her positive keyphrases... now shes in love with everything

Try 'rigging the deck' so to speak, by throwing in a couple of questions with potential answers that would offend her, but also one that would delight her. That way you can have potential mood changes built into her questions. Then put those questions to her most fundamental phrase banks: xnone and xnonsense

Do the bots interpret "cheers" as "goodbye"? Several times in conversations with bots I've said "cheers", meaning "thanks" and they've taken it as meaning that I'm saying goodbye to them.
