The AI Engine

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

I think you can have a FOF and choose not to use flash interface. It may be in settings. I know I took Gabibot off of flash when I started trying to put her on various pages (the dastardly hosts keep screening her out, and least as an embedded flash bot)

Yeah. I don't use the flash-thing. It just doesn't interest me that much. *shrugs*

The engine still sees names as commands, example:

What will you be doing while I mehitabel?

How about this for the name thing?
Was a (typeof-grandmother's-n) my name.
I got that today.

The ai engine made a funny...I guess it's not to well read
Took a classic as an insult
Guest162: k its called moby dick
prob: You must lead a very dull, boing, lonly life, talking like that.

Does anyone know what gets picked up by the definition plug in? I know it should work with "what does * mean" but will it work with "define" as a key phrase? Would "define (*)" work better?
