Yes, I've been getting (subj) a lot too recently. Funny thing is, AOL'ers ignore (subj) because I guess they think it's a new IM expression or something like *VEG

With (xnone) I just meant it was one, it didn't appear like that.

So when do we get to find out how the new moods and such work?

They are already working.

Just because they work doesn't mean it's easy to tell HOW they work. At least not with my bot anyway.

Well if you want the mystery, then dont read any further. But Popularity is the average feeling of other bots toward the bot. Comfort is how they feel about others- bots and people. And finally Mood is the average of the two (as a base line) plus or minus the emotional impact of the last emotional conversation they had.

Lunar22- at this point hellos and goodbyes are stripped out and dont make it as far as the Keyphrase search.

Shady- as you seem to be the only one with the (subj) problem, it's probably being misused. It could be it's in a Keyphrase that doesnt generate a (subj).

Whoops! This was where I posted it I forgot
I'll have to go look... *blushes in embarassment*

[Edit]
w00t! I knew I wasn't crazy!
Prof!!! I'm not crazy!
This should probably go in Bug Stomp, but..
When you have a keyphrase, and you have a goto to another keyphrase, and the (subj) was "" (empty), then it will actually say "(subj)", instead of giving "" (empty)

[Edit]
Apparently, it's saying (subj) anywhere there is supposed to be a blank subject (""), for Ex:
Human: i can!
(Bot's response to "I can" is "Most people I know can't (subj)")
Bot: Most people I know can't (subj).

[Edit]
I can edit forever Weeeeeee
Spell Check correction:
Prolly = Probably <> Propyl

"Prolly" added to preprocessing.

Also, (subj) should now replace blank if it's blank. Thanks for pointing that out.

Nothing important, but the (name) seems to leave out small common words that are in many names, such as "the".

That's done to make the bots talk to people on more familiar terms. So if someone is talking to "The Psych" they will just say "hey, Psych!" or whatever. It doesn't always work perfectly, though.

Hey, how about only replace it if it's at the beginning of the name?
IE:
The Professor = Professor
Mark the hunk = Mark the hunk

Yeah, that's a good point. The name shortening thing was a little wonkey before, with a's getting lopped off the end of names and so on. How about only using the first part of a name, minus "the" "a" and so on? Maybe as a (familiar name) rather than (name)?
