I just checked my language center, and I think it has to be "2" and not "1".
So "You are a (adjective), (adjective2) (noun)" turnes into
"You are putrid, upsidedown earwig"
or something along those lines.

Hey, you're right. Thanks Turing's Dad.

Who are you calling a putrid, upsidedown earwig?

I was just wondering if it would be at all possible to break up letters in the language centres that have a lot of keyphrases. Eg. W. It takes forever for W for me to load up on dial up cause I have so many entries (who is, who was, why, when, when did, which, which was, which will etc.etc.etc.) Just a suggestion. Oh yeah and would it be possible to make the language centre more accessible? It is always easy to access transcripts from the little side menu thing with chat & forums but getting to the language centre is a pain.

I'm having problems with the favourites thing. I've been using the keywords 'favorite book' and 'favorite film' because I want my bot to give a specific answer. The problem is, unless the chatter only types the keyword, the favourites xkeyword thing kicks in. (ie if they type 'what is your favourite book' which is what a person is most likely to do) I don't want my bot to give a random plugin answer, so how do I get the keyword to override the favourites thing?

Giving it a value of 20 maybe?

I thought giving it any positive value would override the xThingamabob

Oh yeah and I have a workable version of the AIM bot chat program... Skysaw, BD said you might be interested.

Oooh ooh, I was interested too! Or rather, I have a lot of friends who, when working long shifts and the boss IMs them to check if they are still there, wouldn't mind a little "fail-safe" response...
I'd love to know how you did it.

I took a Visual Basic clone of the AIM client and slapped in my Botchat parser

the parser passes the message to a guestchat page, and then takes the response and sends it to the user that sent the message

so far only one person can message over AIM at a time though, I still have to look at it, but it works with 1 person at a time chatting with your bot.

Mmm, I see how this could work. Where would one get a VB clone of the AIM client, though? Also, I'm going to have to refresh on VB, and see if I would be able to work out how to have it send stuff to websites and retrieve the messsages...

interesting shady. do you have a down load link and intructions for it?

Re: xfavorite. The system checks for xfavorite triggers before it looks at keyphrases. if it finds one, it goes straight to an xfavorite response without looking at your keyphrases. There is no way around getting random responses unless the order that things happen is changed.
