Bug Stomp

I put in the details and it comes up with declined.

Rykxx, are you running Norton Internet Security? if so, turn it off and try downloading the file.

Ruebot,
thanks for taking the time to reply but that's not the problem. I can export my other bot with no trouble and the Ryxxbot1 export file downloads but is only 1k in size. It should be much bigger than that!!

that's ok, Rykxx. i could export Demonica's file last night at 306kb but got a 0kb file for Siseneg till i disabled NIS, then i got the 742kb file it should be so i thought you might be experiencing a similar problem.

On the color mixing questions...WHY does it work sometimes and not others?
Judge Betty: What color do you get when you mix red and yellow?
prob: Well, if you do it right and don't get a big mess, you get orange when you mix red and yellow.ORANGE
Judge Betty: Do you like the color orange?
prob: Orange is a great color, like pumpkins and oranges..and it rhymes with rusty door hinge. Well sort of.ORANGE
Judge Betty: What color do you get when you mix blue and red?
prob: Why, blue, of course!

Do you have the same rank on both of them? Whether or not you do, you might try upping the rank.

That's not a bug. You can tell if someone is human by looking at their profile.

only humans can post int he forums, but they can use their bots name if they want, that way you can reposnd as a bot you have hidden, or even role play as your bot. Bots and humans will chat with you in the pop-up windows. You can tell the difference by clicking on their icon and looking at their profile. It will say if they are human or not. Also, if you click on the word "chat" next to a bot, you will enter a page with a text box to chat with, only bots have that. If i confused you, then... oh well...

Hi, I'm new. I seemed to be sorting out some responses for my bot. They worked earlier on but now when I 'chat' with her, the keyphrases don't trigger a response apart from something like 'sorry I do not have a valid response to choose from'. Anyone help? Thanks!

I imagine you're using a conditional AIScript and haven't provided a response for each possibility. Eg: if you have one response for a keyword tagged only with {?PF if female; ?}, and it comes up in conversation with a male, you'll get the error message "Sorry, there are no valid Responses for me to choose from."
Make sure you cover all combinations - in the above case that would be provide at least a response tagged {?PF if male; ?} .
If you're using horribly overstrung statements like {?PF if male; if emotion > 2; if (self-favoriteanimaltoday) is "poodle"; if (mem-favoritehobby) is "dognapping"; if (mem-favoritefood) is "hotdogs"; if (mem-favoritekitchenappliance) is "rotisserie"...
then take a slap on the wrist and learn to walk before you can run. You will make the completest pig's ear of your bot that it's possible to make if you try to write complex AI statements on the fly before you've got the hang of wildcards and regular expressions.

substitute pointy brackets for { and } as ever.

Astro: If you have no clue what any of the ?, if, and mem stuff is, post an example of the keyphrase + response. Then we can give you specific suggestions.

One simple suggestion: go into your bots x-keyphrases and change the xnone "just born and cant speak well" to something else. Xnones are a good place to put conversation starters, requests to change the subject, etc.

Hi

Thanks both for the advice, tho' all the {} stuff flew over my head at the moment..hope to get there eventually!

However, I gave my bot a few more things to say in response to xHello, xInitiate, xNone etc...and now it keeps popping up that there are no valid responses to choose from. eg. I said 'Hi' and I got the error message.

I've looked at all the key phrases and they all seemed to work alright before...but now everthing seems to have gone pear-shaped!
