The AI Engine

I can never remember this, and the Book isn't really clear...can I use Custom Plug-ins in a Keyphrase?

you can in your xnone, etc keyphrases, but not in your normal keyphrases, as far as i know

I beg to differ. I use several custom plug-ins, especially for swear words etc.

Yeah, I use them quite a bit as well.

yes, custom plugins can be used in all keyphrases and seeks AFAIK.

I'm just gonna throw this out there, too, since it's been on my mind lately. If there was one feature I want more than any other on the Forge, it's a better search engine. My database is getting pretty big, and I'm having a lot of trouble remembering what I have and what I don't. Just the ability to search either Keyphrases or Responses would be a huge help.

I'll second that! And the ability to search seeks would be invaluable. A Forum search would be handy too.

I find that searching the export file with CTRL+F in wordpad is much easier. It's quicker, and the website search doesn't seem to drill into seeks.

right, it says in the manual you can use custom plugins in keyphrases

thanks for the correction

Does choosing whether your bot is friendly or hostile just lower the baseline for its emotional life, or does it make the bot more likely to be hostile regardless of its emotional attitudes? I'm not sure if tht distinction is described clearly. Anyone?

The bot that runs my washing machine doesn't learn either. Each time I press the button nothing happens, when each time I finally kick the washing machine it starts to wash. Sometimes bots need a kick I suppose... LOL

MickMcA: Nope, that's just for profile purposes. No actual effect on your bot's intelligence or social life.
