The AI Engine

How does one avoid too many gotos? what causes gotos to pile up, and how does one get back to no gotos in the stack?

looks like this strips stuff too. I will use curly brackets instead of 'gt' and 'lt'

Was the standard {br} for a line break changed to something else? The Language Engine keeps stripping them out of my responses. I've also tried {cr} for carriage return, but the same thing happens.

The line break is odd. I find it won't work if you import/export but will if you trying. I have no idea why.

prob123, what characters do you use when you type line breaks into the Language Center? I think it is stripping {cr} and {br} from my typed in responses as well.

I use
< br > no spaces the lt and gt are getting stripped out here too.

I imagine the Professor is busy enough without taking suggestions, but might it be possible to some day have the option to introduce a delay based on the number of characters in a message before it prints?

It's something I've been hoping for such a feature for a while, especially considering the Flash interface with its 'Bot is typing...' illusion. As it is, it tempts me to do things that I know the server will take longer with, just to benefit from that effect... but I don't, because that would be evil. Being able to set something like a characters-per-minute or milliseconds-per-character value, I think that would be fantastic.

Is there any way to add a range to xkeywords or to seeks?

Mome Rath, what do you mean by 'adding a range'?

Saerain , you must have a faster internet connection than I do. I hope if you get your wish, it won't be automatic. I'd like to be able to turn it off.

I mean, if you click on Edit at any of the # to z keyphrases, there are two numeric fields between the Keyphrase field and the AIScript field, namely Rank and Emotion. If you click on Edit at any x-keyphrase, ther's only the Emotion field left.

When I encountered the Personality Forge the first time, I remember talking to two or three bots at a time, and doing other stuff in between, for it took never less than half a minute for an answer to arrive and sometimes more than three minutes, so that I had to reload the page one to several times. Anyway, I wonder if that would make such a big difference on a slow connection; perhaps the response field should be sent as one of the last items of a page.

In general, I don't encourage suppressing of ads, because they generate a bit of revenue for the site masters (so that the financial loss is not quite as big), but there are some ad servers whose access times can be a pain in the a** where I think that blocking them is justified.

The AI engine seems to be stripping AI script out of xkeyphrase responses. I've got several xnone responses that I want to use AI script with, such as:

I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name... {PF? if (mem-name) is "sweetie"; once; ?}

(I'm using curly bracket because the forum doesn't like the gt and lt characters.) Maybe that's the problem? How do I fix it?

Or is there some rule against using AI script in x-keyphrases? Or is my AI script incorrectly formatted?

I am completely at a loss to proceed. I cannot get the Forge to accept AI Script in my bots. I switched operating systems, word processors (using Word Pad which is supposed to work). Whether I try to import a language file with script in it, or enter the script after a response in the on-line Language Center, the script is stripped from the response.

I really am at my wits end. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I don't know how you guys do it. I would like to find out. Please, please, please help.
