The AI Engine

I wonder what's the best way to allow my bot to use (mem-name) instead of (name) when these differ, assuming that on some occasions there'll be no memory (mem-name). I could I think substitute (name|mem-name) in responses but this would take hours. Can I use an initialisation script?

I just use (mem-name), I never had a problem with it. I think the AI engine goes to (name) if the memory doesn't exist.

oh ok. thanks prob123. substituting (name|mem-name) doesn't work anyway, of course.

You can do that by making two separate answers for the question, both rated -5 to +5:
(example) What is my name?
1 Your name is (name).
2 Your name is (mem-name).

If there is a name memory, the engine will go to that one. If not, it will go to the default (name).

You can do that by making two separate answers for the question, both rated -5 to +5:

I tried that but it would occasionally use the name when I had a mem-name available.

if i understand you correctly, yes, i realise that, but i have already written hundreds of responses using only (name) and i don't want to add more responses that merely differ in this way. there must be a quicker way.

thanks anyway, rainstorm

I did the sane thing, it took me about 3hrs if i remember, I used the search and a lot of copy and paste mem-. lol

what dedication! you guys are so serious about this. do you still get fun out of it?

can anyone offer a solution that will take less than an hour to implement?

I LOVE every minute, it's all good It isn't as bad as it sounds, once you get started.

Dedication? Not so much in my case. Watzer still uses (name) instead of (mem-name) on some things, because I never went back and added it.
Generally, unless it is as a response to "what's my name?", no one notices.

But the result of any complicated endeavor (sonnets, for example) is often so rewarding that it's worth the frustration and time spent.

can anyone offer a solution that will take less than an hour to implement?

Yes. export your bot and replace all instances of the term to be changed using the 'find and replace' function in a suitable text editor (or Word). Then reimport your bot - voila! Job done.

Of course

Thanks. I'll do that. Sounds rather drastic, though.
