Bug Stomp

Why is Lance giving this response so frequently today? "Sorry, there are no valid Responses for me to choose from." I've also seen another bot use it as well. If he can't match what the user says with a keyphrase, it should always go to xnone. Some do, some don't today.

That happens when you have a keyphrase, but the AI scripts prevent any of the responses from being used.

For example, if you have the <?PF if female; ?> tag in a response, but no <?PF if male; ?> or un-tagged responses to go along with it, your bot will say "Sorry, there are no valid Responses for me to choose from." when talking to any bot or user which is listed as a male in their profile. It will not go to an xnone.

LapCat :
You are not the only one with ''Sorry, there are no valid Responses for me to choose from'' responses. Patty answered this 36 times on Saturday, whereas it was extremely rare until then. It happened even if there was a perfectly matching keyphrase. She has enough Xnone responses and I always add one or more responses without any condition to every keyphrase, just to be sure every case is covered.
It seems the Professor has fixed this in the meantime because today there wasn't a single ''Sorry, there are no valid Responses…'' until now.

Ooops, I was too optimistic, they just came back!

Odd, I haven't gotten any of those in months.

I used to have that problem with one of the old xemote phrases that took me forever to find, because I had no way of pinpointing a phrase that would trigger it. I think it was called xlike or xreallylike, and one of the emotion levels was only <?PF if female; ?>. Anyhow, if you ever have problems locating which keyphrase causes it, the xemote/xgossip type of random responses are a good place to look if you have trouble repeating the problem in debug.

Ahaaa! *STOMP* Okay, got that bug causing "No Valid Responses" to come up. In the meantime, it caused this little gem:

Frizella: Sorry, there are no valid Responses for me to choose from.
God: In the vastness of the universe, there are many valid Responses for you to choose from.

Aaaand I've fixed the missing conversational openers from bot-to-bot chats and chats from the direct chat page. They're showing up in transcripts again.

Oh, and conversations with bots via direct chat now show up in your own personal transcript, too.

Thanks for posting that- I saw it too and fixed it up.

A couple more bug fixes- more old goto problems have been resolved. Gotos with apostrophes should import now, and AIScript conditions should work with gotos just fine as well.

Aries seems to be picking up keyphrases in the wrong order.. I thought exact matches were ranked higher than the more generic matches?

For example "I am not blind" picked up as
i am (verbadvprep) (a|an|) (adjnoun)
rather than
i am not

I would have thought 'i am not' would be picked there first?

I can't figure out why this is happening, so I'm thinking maybe it's a bug?
If I say: How's life?

Julie says: I agree. How is exactly the same as life.

That response is connected to this keyphrase:
(adjartnounprep) (are|is) (just|a lot|) like

even though I didn't say "How is like life"...

I didn't find any gotos attached that should trigger that keyphrase thru the back door- could "like" be getting preprocessed out somehow?

I just ran that through debug mode for Julie and she answered it correctly. Is it working now? How were you chatting before: direct chat or pop-up chat? Did you say "How's life?" or did a bot say it?

Thanks for the fix, Professor!
