Thanx for the reply Bev.

I set up a wildcard for the keyphrase "do you like" to "do you * like" to cover if someone typed in "do you really like", but when I tried it the bot kept going to the default xnone responses.

Up the rank a bit. Also check to see that the soft wild card is still there. Sometimes when adding a soft wild card the AI engine will strip it out as punctuation and you have to retype the keyphrase.

How does one open bots they are in the process of creating? Can't find the ones I've started.

when you click workbench your bot should show, then you click the language center.

thank you but when i click workbench my bot does not show

I don't see a bot listed for you. You might have to email the Professor. Did it ever show? Did it get saved when you created it?

When asking my bot about other users she's met "Who is (username)?", I've realized that she uses xgossip, but based on her emotions towards me rather than towards the gossip subject. If I'm nice, she loves everyone; if I insult her, she hates everyone. Is there a way to make sure her xgossip replies are based on what she feel about the person she's talking about?

Hi Borris, That's an interesting question. I can't remember if the book of AI talks about "friend" or "enemy" memories (though I thought it did) and I am not sure if you can override xgossip with memories. Does anyone else know?

I don't think that you can override it. I do know that the (friend) (enemy) will go by the reaction your bot shows in "inner life" (the number of happy of sad faces)

Well Prob, I am still not getting the wildcards to work. I've tried both the hard and soft wildcards in multiple different sentences and I've upped the rank as you suggested, and made sure the AI engine didn't strip out the wildcard as punctuation and still nothing is working. Can you show me an example of how you would type in a wildcard command? Maybe I have the spaces or something wrong in my keyphrase. Thanks.

Keyphrase
Do you like to eat (*)?
response
Yes, I love (key1)

works like this

So you like to eat candy
Yes, I love candy.


Keyphrase
I * like to eat

response
So you (key1) like to eat.

The soft wild card will pick up

I really like to eat
I do not like to eat
I like to eat
etc

the key 1 will mimic back really, or do not etc. If there is nothing it will just stay silent and read
So you like to eat.

you can combine the two wild cards

Do you * like to eat (*)

I (key1) like to eat (key2) too!
