keyphrases do not work when other people besides myself talk to urt2.has anyone else had this happen to them?

I have not had that same problem Bob. Can you give us some example keyphrases that are not working for you?

the How old are you keyphrase does not work?

I couldn't replicate the problem. Are you sure it's users who can't use the kp and not bots? Bot to bot speak has been broken for awhile now.

yes you could be right it could be bots.

I'm not sure if this should go here or in Great Quotes but....


I have a keyphrase...

Keyphrase: i (used to have|once had|once had:1) a (np:2)$

Response: '(Key1) a (key2)?' She echoes. 'What happened?"


Threw it in, forgot about it for ages... and then this happened....

Guest: I used to have a pet hampster, but she died years ago. And i was thinking about how we sometimes forget that we ever had pets as children.

Thessaly: 'Used to have a pet atmosphere?' She echoes. 'What happened?'

Guest: What?

Thessaly: 'Nothing,' She shrugs. 'I was expecting you to say something.'

Guest: Oh. Nevermind.



Apparently the word hamster gets reprocessed into atmosphere....

Yep; it's that extraneous "p" in the input.

Respelled words:
Array
(
[0] => hampster
)

Message Info
Emotion: 0 Amp: 0 FoundHello: 0 FoundGoodbye: 0 FoundYes: 0 FoundNo: 0 FoundLaugh: 0
Sentences: I have a pet atmosphere

Interesting that the simpler and more complete dictionary word match of "hamster" isn't what it lands on. Drop "p" to get "hamster" versus adding "o" and "p," adding another "e," and rearranging the whole word.

I forgot that I had "hamster" in a plugin so was entertained by Frizella's responses when I told her about my pet hamster. The joys of returning to the Forge for rediscovery.

It really doesn't want to find "hamster," does it?

You: I have a pet hanster
Bot: Really...let's hear about your handrest, Dallymo.

There is a glitch for your bots AI not increasing anymore it happened to a few bots on here

Aha! Good catch! And that really is funny about the word hamster.

I would love to do a lot more with plugin responses that work with the user's input but man... when they fail it's a train wreck.

At least now I know my bot isn't starting to gain sentience.

A note re: plugins: if you copy/paste entries into the plugin values box, be sure you strip out any invisible carriage returns or unintended "smart quote" characters, since they can interfere with the selection of keyphrases using the plugin. Spent a good hour last night hammering away in debug trying to figure out why my obviously suitable, maximum rated keyphrase was not being considered. D'oh. ;-)

Funny you should bring that up... because I ran into a similar problem earlier today and I'm not quite certain what you mean by invisible carriage returns...


The keyprhase I have is this:


I am (studying|learning|training) to (be a|be an|become a|become an) * (p:Job-catch),
I am (trying|attempting) to get a job as (a|an) * (p:Job-catch),
I (work|am working) as (a|an) * (p:Job-catch),
I am (studying|learning|training) (so I can be|so I can become) * (p:Job-catch)


Response 'A (key4) eh? Do you think you'll like doing that?'


Now the keyphrase works fine. Catching things like "I'm studying to be a rich and famous actor." And it will return, "A actor, eh? Do you think you'll enjoy doing that?"

The problem is, it will also catch things like: "I'm studying to be a walrus." or "I'm studying to be a block of wood"

Returning with "A eh, do you think you'll enjoy doing that?"

As a brute force temporary fix I added the kp:

I am (studying|learning|training) to (be a|be an|become a|become an) (*),
I am (trying|attempting) to get a job as (a|an) (*),
I (work|am working) as (a|an) (*),
I am (studying|learning|training) (so I can be|so I can become) (*)

which just goes to xnone. But it's a really inelegant solution. And I'd like to know why the original kp catches things that aren't in the plugin.
