ladydyke, you may want to concentrate on the "Keywords" and their "Contexts" for the time being. The plug-ins are a neat tool, but they're not really required to get a basic Bot happening. To answer your question, I don't think you can add the (subj) or (name) variables within the actual plug-ins. Don't forget to check the Book of AI and... good luck.

I have checked the book of A.I. and it lists all these "tools" and how to use them but not where to use them. the language center only has 2 options "plug in's" and new bot. It says you can read your bots transcripts yet when that link is clicked the only thing you get is the language center with the 2 options plug in and new bot so what gives? I do not understand. are we just suppose to make mindless lists of words for the bots to use or what?

After you make a new bot, give it a name, etc. you get acess to that bot's language center.

Dear Prof
A suggestion you might want to pick up on in your (giggle, snort) "spare" time. I like both the "Storytelling" and random aspects of the xnones...would iut be possible to have a "xstory" function.?

the bots have completely taken over. How long has it been since you encountered a maker on-line here?

Hey prof, Here's one... I think all the "aren't me" replies could be replaced with "aren't I".

SirRahz- Good idea, I added it.
jbry- I think if there was xstory as well as xnone, xnone would interfere with the story's progression.
Update! I had meant for this to be the case since the beginning but for some reason didnt do it: Gaia's transcript is always set to the present date, so you can easily read what's most recently been said with Gaia.

Glad to see you got some time for the important things in life, prof! 
This one would involve some work, I'm sure, but it's definitely worth it:
we need an xdate keyword!!! Where the context is some kind of date range such as : "02/10/*... 02/14/*" and would trigger the responses contained, in this case, every year between the tenth and the fourteenth of February. Likewise the context "*/01/*" would trigger the responses on the first for every month. The responses would randomly appear like xnones when they're "active" (depending on the date range specified).
I think this would greatly increase the bots memory. They'd be able to remember birthdays and occasions, as well as get excited or depressed for seasons and they could bring up current events for only a certain period of time...

Hey, great minds think alike! I had a similar idea a couple weeks ago.. My idea was xnone-morning, xnone-afternoon, xnone-evening, xnone-night, and then xnone-Jan, xnone-Feb, etc. It didnt seem quite right, though..
Your forumlation of it seems better, but also more complicated.. but as I think of it, is really the best way to do it. We'd need a new kind of page in the Language Center. But it would add a lot of relevance and more personality to the Bots..

I hate it when I get ideas like this. BUT with advancing age I find I often forget where I parked certain responses in the Language Center...I mean I just can't find them. Debug is helpful but some are still illusive. Would it be possible to have an internal "Search" function?
