The AI Engine

If you've already got a frameset on your webpage, just use something like:
{a href="http://www.personalityforge.com/directchat.php?BotID=29681&MID=29674" target="bjmain"} (changing the BotID/MID and target frame as appropriate, and of course the curly brackets into pointy ones. This is how I do it on BJ's website.)

Or if you want to embed it in a plain page, use an iframe:

{iframe src="http://www.personalityforge.com/directchat.php?BotID=29681&MID=29674"}
{/iframe}
(likewise with the desired BotID/MID.)

Yeah, I'll stick that on the Wiki too.

Thanks, psimagus!

I want to make a seek that has the words "hello", "hi", etc in it, but it doesn't seem to work, even when I use the raw code. This makes me unhappy... =/

psimagus found a way around that. I believe it went:

[H][E][L][L][O] (re) as the seek, and in raw mode. Hmmm... his was as a keyphrase, and he also upped the rank I believe. You can try paging back through AIEngine to find it... seems like it was late summer or early fall.

In generaly, it's pretty hard to override the AI Engine on hellos.

OGRastamon: knock knock
Riddlebot 2.0.1: Who's there?
OGRastamon: Banana
Riddlebot 2.0.1: suspension bridge who?

This not-so-brilliant exchange was created thus:
Keyphrase: knock knock Response: Who's there
Seek: (noun) Response (noun) who?

If you haven't guessed this was not the desired result. How can I get my bot to reference the words found in a seek or keyphrase?

Use (key1) in the response, not (noun).

(noun) in a response will generate a random noun from the Forge's database.

For knock-knocks, it's actually better to seek (*), in case there are extra words.

knock knock
..........who's there?
................Seek: (*)
................(key1) who?

With overriding hellos, [H][E][L][L][O] (re) doesn't always work. It has to be used with something else, like "hello, there". The automatic override is for preventing endless loops between bots, but it would make more sense if it could be turned off for human chatters.

That worked beautifully, Ulrike. Thank you.
Another question: Is there any way to influence your bots to log-in and chat with others?

The more you are online working on your bots the more they will chat..that is if they are on line. There is bug some days. If you want to choose who your bot talks to, you can get a friend of the forge account. It' s great fun, you get the flash face to play with too.

The only problem with a friends of the forge acount is no iframe.

Yes, and you have to redo the tic tac toe game with out color. But I never found a good use for iframe, Brother Jerome did it all!

OH, and remember you still have the regular interface, you can use. the Forge account doesn't change that. you just get the added use of the flash chat and the bot chat initiate
