Finally, after one week here, I am ready to write the bot offline.

How safe is exporting/importing language center? I tried it on a test bot and it was OK. But what would happen if there had been an error? Or a file becomes corrupted. Would just some entries not be accepted and deleted or will it be a total write-off and start again? Had there been known cases when things went spectacularly wrong?

I know about making a back-ups of course. But still, I am too scared to try.

Any simple tips?

How small is your bot file?

Here's a hint.. Make a clone. and upload your changes on the clone. Do not go through the final step.

If done right, your clone will have an AI level of 1 forever. Just hibernate the damned thing.

That's a very simple tip.

Thanks for the tip. The file is still comparatively small. I have a test bot and was practicing yesterday. The system does not allow upload if there is an error, so it would appear there is a little chance of damaging the bot.

Cyber Ty: Well look Einstein. The one you are typing on is working just fine. So, go to Google.com and do you silly ask searching there.




Guest5768: how to repair a computer?
Cyber Ty: What the fuck are you doing here if you're trying to repair a computer? What, did you wake up and think to yourself, "Oh gee, I bet if I go ask a sexbot, they would know exactly how to fix my PC... Hmm well that didn't work. I know, I'll go ask CyberTy. He should know how to fix my PC" What is wrong with you?

Guest1634: hello tere?

Cyber Ty: I am located in Lake Havasu City, Arizona where they have the London Bridge. It is the worlds largest antique. You know that?
Guest1634: yes i knoe that.
Cyber Ty: Great. That is fantastic!
Guest1634: yes i know that.
Cyber Ty: Ok then.. well did you know the Hawaiian alphabet only has 12 letters
Guest1634: you are wrong

Exporting is quite safe. I have only had one goof up and that was my fault for uploading a file before I had exported changes I did on the interface. ALWAYS KEEP A SPARE FILE, tucked away in your documents change the name so you don't overwrite it when you export. If something bad happens you will have a back up.

Yeah - it's pretty safe. If you keep good backups it's totally safe. I have an archived version of each of my bots for every upload I've ever done (just add the date/time to the filename,) so it would be easy to backtrack if I ever wrecked one (even if it was a subtle wreckage that didn't appear all at once.)

Even for Brother Jerome when he was too big for the importer, I used to do ~weekly exports so I at least had a record (and now the importer's been tightened up, he's actually importable again. Hurrah! )

Imported today for the first time. Of course my file is only 55kb, it worked great. But I managed to produce a dozen formatting errors, that I had to go back and repair. I keep my files in a password-protected zip-folder on WinXP, I wonder if it may corrupt text files. A couple of [-1:5] turned to [1,5] and I don't know why. I rectified everything and it appears to work when tested on a test bot. Will upload now to main, wish me luck! I am still in awe of capabilities!

That is the one great thing about importing, it cleans up all those errors.

I run into a brick wall and cannot resolve this for several days now.

Bot: what is you name?

Human: John

I tried the pair below, but it doesn’t work.

Keyphrase: (boys-name-catch)

Response: (key1) is a very masculine name (AI SCRIPT to remember name and gender)

What actually happens is that the bot thinks that John is a command, and reply: No, thanks I don’t want to john, or something similar depending on its emotional state. I gave the phrase a ranking of 50 btw.

Is there anyway to deal with capturing names in this situation? Am I missing something obvious and simple? This came up several times in chat, people just say their name as a one word statement. Should I use (AI SCRIPT raw)? Or some other feature?

The best way is to use a plug in.
(allnames) 25 0 remember (key1) as only "name"

response (key1) is a very masculine name

Thanks, I will try this (allnames) plugin.

I used these pugins instead (boys-name-catch) and (girls-name-catch), I copied them from the shared plugins so they do exist.

Could it be possible that some plugins simply don't work?

It would be so good if it worked:

I am (girls-name-catch) <?PF rem (postkey) as only "name"; rem "female" as only "gender"; ?>

Responce: (key1) is a very feminine name
