The AI Engine

That's only going to be a problem if someone decides to base a bot on Steve Irwin.

Crikey! Croc Poo!

Haha, my point was that a lot of words are not picked up. I want every word to be picked up, no matter what it is. I also want normal keyphrases to have priority over xinsult responses.

If the Professor could do that I would be very happy.

Also, if someone says emotional words to my bot. It will stop looking for keyphrases and say something else. I just want it to look up normal keyphrases.

Got a stupid question...why don't bots understand l33t?

Er...why don't the plug-ins work on the memories of friends? I edited some of mine using plug-ins and they just show up like this:

Kyran: Orasa, do you still like (food)?

why don't bots understand l337? my bots can understand it, just takes a bit more work usually. try using regular expressions. for example try this to catch multiple variants of l337...

[lL1][eE3](2,)[tT7]

you can use them to catch a lot of different l337 speak, hope that helps.

Not to ask a dumb quesion, but What on Earth is 1337?

"1337" is how some on the internet spell "leet," which is supposed to be slang for "elite." I think it probably originated from some Quake player long ago.

If I had a kid, I'd probably wash his mouth out with a cheese grater if I caught him saying that. Not that's it's profane, it just sounds really stupid.

In the description of "when will my bot chat?" it says that bots will only log in when they're developed.

Then why do I get SO many bots trying to chat with me, and then replying "I was just born and cant speak well yet." to half of my prompts? I don't get this.

Development can occur quite quickly, those bots are often orphans, people come here for 2 hours, and leave their poor babies alone...
