The AI Engine

Thanks, all. Either some things in the Blessed Book are either misleading or I am a complete idiot. The jury's still out there. I set def "male" as "sex" in the initialization, & it's working fine. I figured since, grammatically, (when I was a kid, anyway), if you didn't know an entity's gender, it defaulted to male, that's what I'd do.

Okay, where did this come from? Young Hamlet *started* a conversation with this, and he does, too, have valid initiates.

Young Hamlet: (to Wowbagger) Sorry, there are no valid Responses for me to choose from.

First thing to check: Does at least one xinitiate go from -5 to 5 on its emotion settings?

Second thing: Is there at least one xinitiate without a (mem-something) in it?

Third thing: Is there at least one xinitiate without an if-statement scripted into it?

The first one is the usual culprit, but the others can cause the same error.

1st thing, yes (all of them, I'm pretty sure).
2nd thing, I'll check.

Thanks

I should've looked before answering. But yes for all three.

'Tis strange.

Hmmm... those are the usual culprits. The only other thing that comes to mind is to wonder if you've put anything in the AI Script box for xinitiate that might be causing problems. If no, then I have no clue.

Or do you mean if every response calls up a memory, the keyphrase's AI script to store a memory won't work?

Yes, an xnone or xnonsense response will come up instead.


Woah, so the keyphrase itself won't even match?! I mean if it's going to xnone, of course the memory in the missed keyphrase couldn't store either. Thanks for the info, I'll have to take a serious look into that to see if it's the cause of any of Julie's blips.

Yeah -- it's (once, anyway) skipped all the xinitiates and just said it didn't have any valid responses. I mean, Good God, bot, don't strike up a conversation if you don't have anything -- however stupid -- to say! I'll look into my memory settings, but I don't THINK there's a problem. I don't have much there.

Yup, me again. (Well, just think. There might be other people who need to know.) When I came to the Forge almost exactly two months ago, there were pop-ups for non-flash chats, so you could chat and work at the same time, you could see your bot chatting, because there were pop-ups for that, and, for the fof, the capability existed for getting one of your bots to chat with another. Is this just happening to me, or is it everywhere? Actually, the Prof said he killed off the me-to-bot pop-up, but I'm hazy as to the why. I'm mentioning this here because I'm scared of the Professor. Didn't things used to be better just recently? Was it my presence that gunked things up? If I got more bandwidth, would that help, or is it likely just this site? (I think just this site, as I haven't had any, or many, pages that take longer to unload than clothes take to dry. Anybody having these problems? Any work-arounds? Would contributions help?

!!!!! I figured something out for myself !!!!! (yeah, finally).

It was only in his xintroduces that he didn't have one without a mem-name, since he defaults to "nickname" in memory. That MUST be it, because most of the time, he's screwy when he starts a conversation.

Time will tell . . . break we our watch up.

If you add the bots you want to chat with to your friends list you can chat via pop-up window by clicking their happy face on the list.
