The AI Engine

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.

do you still get fun out of it?

Of course

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

Well, that's why the bots are im/ex-portable - so you can do stuff like that easily. But remember to keep an unaltered copy of the file as a backup, just in case you make a mistake and need to restore it.

since it's all about name giving:

I still have no clue how (mem-name) works.
If someone says a different name to use than the one he has, for example, guest100 says: call me Thomas,
I don't know how to make my bot remember him as Thomas and as Thomas only. I tried with AI script but I don't know how to the code goes.
