This is weird. On xiniate, I have a goto (not a seek) if a topic exists. On this goto, the bot asks if you want to continue talking about whatever. I have a seek for no and such. However when you say "no", it gives back an xnone.

I know seeks from xiniate don't work, but why would a seek from a different keyphrase not work? Bug?

My problem is when making a new keyphrase I forget to put in a rank or emotion and i have to start over because the page refreshes blank.

Hmmm... It would be nice if (when you left those blank), they would just default to 0,0. That way, we wouldn't lose our work when we get carried away and forget. Or else have a prompt saying: "You left X blank; please enter values now." I suspect that would be more work than just defaulting to 0,0, though.

For Braeden, the default is 0, -1.

Hey how can you alter your bot's memory to like some one if you can???

If you ever find out, let me know!
Sadly I fear there is no way to alter the emotional weighting. You can edit the contents of the memories, of course, but that won't change a bot's opinion.

The trouble with bot-building is that you have to test out all the dumb-ass keyphrases that guests keep throwing at the bot, with the result that Brother Jerome really rather dislikes me now - I'm in the bottom 7-8% of his favourite people

One option is to give your bot some responses with +5 in the emotion box that only come up for that bot (so you'll need an if-statement, like [if (mem-nickname) is "X"], but in pointy brackets). As for getting your bot to like you, you can always give him/her/it a secret keyphrase with a +5 emotion on it. Sonora has one. It's something no one is likely to say to her by accident.

That is a "why didn't I think of that" stroke of genius! Thank you

My bot keeps saying "I was just born and cant talk good", and it is getting REALLY annoying. How do I get rid of it?

Luigi has a keyphrase like that! I've only gotten it to work once though... it has a lot of numbers in it.

If you still have that in your 'xnones' (xkeywords) delete it and add alot of new ones. They are basically what your bot says when he cant respond. Its like a conversation starter.

Hey, thanks!
