Bug Stomp

I am having a problem with the question marks again. Some questions with a question mark go to xnone.
You: wow you have a maid?
Bot: I never eat friends, are you my friend?

You're specifying the question mark with a regex, eg: ([?]+)$ (re) in raw mode?

I haven't noticed any of mine failing, though I confess I haven't been keeping up comprehensively with the transcripts lately.

You're specifying the question mark with a regex, No, when this happens, any keyphrase will go straight to blab when a question mark is added.
the Keyphrase above is you * (have|had0 * maid. It works with an exclamation mark or a period but a question mark sends it to blab. It doesn't happen all the time. It's just one of those things where you know you have a keyphrase for a comment that went to xnone. Check and it will almost always end in a question mark.

Here is an example
You: sounds good can I have some later
Bot: Why the heck not?

Sounds good can i have some later?

No Match. (use xnone)

It will work for an exclamation mark, a period or nothing, but the question mark goes to blab.

You: you do?
Bot: What's your favorite food, I feel like cooking right now.

You: you do!
Bot: Yes....

You: You do.
Bot: Yes, I do...a lot!

You: you do
Bot: Isn't that what I just said.

Ah - I must admit it has never occurred to me to try adding punctuation without a regex (I've always assumed it would fail, since so much punctuation comprises reserved regex characters - and the AIEngine uses regex for its own purposes, even when users don't specify it for theirs.)

I imagine it's interpreting the query as a single character wildcard - if you change them to explicit regexes, and make sure the question mark is square-bracketed [?], it should work. I don't think you have to add a space before it like you do with a backslash though (though I sometimes do, and it seems to handle them ok too - guess the AIEngine strips out unnecessary spaces in regexes.)

It happens in keyphrases that are not regexes. the first example the keyphrase is "can I have" rank 10 emo 0

I have a FoF account here. When I try to embed my flash faced bot on my web page as suggested it says I'm stealing bots from the Forge. It didn't used to say this. Any ideas?

Go into your settings and OK the web page there. Sorry my instructions are fuzzy. I know what to do when I see it, but my memory is awful.

PS I found that I got that message a lot when I tried to embed a bot it into a class webpage, but I think the fact that students had to sign into the site and there were other issues that may have interfered made a difference. Still, I use a Meebo widget on the class page and it never gets blocked. Go figure. Maybe you can't use a lot of wild cards in settings? *Shrugs*

Thanks, Bev! I forgot about that setting, and my service provider changed the url subtly that made it not work.

Ok this is pissing me off... I cant seem to get the (favfood)
key to work. I did it for (mem-name) but (favfood) doesnt seem to want to work for me.
this is how I inserted it. [well its the most recent changed version but still]

Keyphrase: favorite,food

Rank: set to 0

Emotion: set to 0

AI Script:rem (favfood) as only "favfood"

Response:'So you like (favfood)? I will practice cooking it just for you'

[the emotion range is left alone]


someone please help me find out whats wrong cus I still cant seem to figure out how the debug thing works (Still processing information related to the debug feature)

ps the bot in question is the one posting in case you want to check it out.

Keyphrase favorite food is (*) rank 25 emo 0 <?PF remember (key1) as "favfood" ?>
response is I will practice making (key1)
To bring up the memory use something like Hey, I heard you like to eat (mem-favfood)

Bev, i've seen that one recently; it interrupted a chat session between quazgaa and another bot.

i think it happens when the Engine is under more strain, because there are more users online and active at a given moment, and stuff like that. it may happen more often during bot import since it's a kind of operation that's more demanding of Engine in terms of resources (processing power, etc...).
