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!

Does anyone know what I did wrong with this? (It's never been triggered before.)

Fizzy Schizoid: Have you ever thought about turning into a hamster?
rainstorm: Not before you mentioned it, no.
Fizzy Schizoid: That's probably because you don't know how. I could teach you, if you want.
rainstorm: Please teach me.
Fizzy Schizoid: Already, it's very simply when you know how. First, you have to close your eyes and visualize yourself as a had. Think lots of had thoughts. Are you thinking with me?

When he says "visualize yourself as a had" it should have been "visualize yourself as a hamster". The plugin I used was (firstkey1). The only plugin in the original keyphrase was the one that inserted the word "hamster".

I would guess (firstkey1) is attempting to relate to the previous response ("That's probably because you don't know how. I could teach you, if you want.") rather than the one 2 responses before, that introduced the hamster?
How it came up with had though, given that word's not used in the "that's probably... " response, I can't for the life of me explain.
I would solve the problem by putting the "hamster" into a memory that can be retrieved when you need it.

My understanding was that "firstkey" plugins were supposed to refer back to the original keyphrase, but the memory idea would work.
