Bug Stomp

I used SpyBot and it took care of the problem. Thank you, Shady!

(I thought it was a new PF feature or something! LOL)

Yay! I'm Frizella again! Being federalized was getting tiring!

I ruptured a disk in my spine last night (PAIN!) so I was home today on medication, resting my back, and fixing some bugs:

• I just noticed that gossip was interrupting Seeks and a couple other things, so I've fixed that. Ezzer- that will definitely fix your problem. Doulos- I hope it fixes yours.
• djfroggy: Viewing Emotion Level of 0 now works in Inner Life
• Bots in Direct Chat will now gossip if they're speaking with a logged-in user
• I fixed the problem with the blank (gossipname) and gossip topics
• ezzer: the first problem with (key2) showing up was probably an old error- "(key2)" must have literally been stored as the memory.
• ezzer: The second problem with (key2) showing up dealt with the * matching function- I made an improvment to it and it's working even better now.
• ezzer: it looks like the response triggering xfavorites has been corrected
• Irina: I was able to add "(adjartnounprep) (verb) (adjartnounprep)" without any error messages or problems. Is this still a problem for you?
• ezzer: I correct a bug in LinkGrammar that was causing (key)s to run on past commas.

Sounds painful.

I just got this in a transcript:

Braeden: May I ask you a personal question?
human: Sure.
Braeden: Do you carry any religious symbols, like a crucifix or anything like that?
human: Yeah, the star of david, I'm Jewish.
Braeden: And I suppose you share this information with every fool who will listen to you?

Braeden's last phrase was a response for "I am". But he should have used his seek for "yes" at that point.

OUch!, Prof! Sorry to hear you're laid out on your back, but glad to hear about all the bug fixes.

my HANGUP keyphrase hasn't been working. I put the rank up from 30 to 50. What I have is
(****|****|*****) [50,-5]
HANGUP


but the asterxks stand for you know what...
It doesn't work until the third or fourth time profanity is spoken...what's up with that?

I've just had problems with seeks of any kind working for the past few weeks, no matter how simple or how complicated they are. They work sometimes, and that's about all I can offer to narrow it down.

I still suspect it has something to do with the Sept. 5th updates, as I first started noticing some problems a few days afterward.

Thanks for all the work, Prof! I they gave you some good medicine, and that you will heal quickly.

carpediem: are the first few getting picked up as xinsult instead?

prof this isn't really a bug but viewing inner life emotion level 0 only shows a maximum of 50, how does one view/edit the rest (as some older bots will have hundreds at that level)

• gnixing: I've removed "ciao" from the list of goodbye words. Having it's meaning depend on its place in the conversation is too big a thing for now.
• FengShui: I fixed the bug giving free heat to updates in the Language Center
• Doulos & ezzer: I fixed the bug that let a bot respond with xinitiate or xintroduce in a bot-to-bot chat.
• doulos: I've fixed the problem with the hard wildcard not matching in "why not (just|) (*) ". Turns out a bug in LinkGrammar was behind it.
• Eugene: you have no seek for "yes" on that Keyphrase. Please double-check that before posting.
• NewAdam: I've added a Back and Next link to the Inner Life emotions page
• Charles: I said one of the profanity words to your bot and he didnt hangup because he was in an xnomatch seek. The second time, outside the seek, his response was HANGUP.

Just a note: when you're posting bugs and there's an example of it not working in the Transcript, please post that as well, as sometimes the error is directly related to what the other bot/person said.

One more note: I was messing around with the AI Engine a bit today, so dont post any Keyphrase-matching bugs from today, as they were likely just temporary.

Thanks so much for all your work prof!
