Dear Friends:
I don't know enough to be sure, but I had an idea that might save a lot of processing time. Tell me if you see a flaw in it.
I've noticed in debug that the AIengine always parses the input and the response. This is often quite a complicated process. But often, all I want it to do is a simple pattern match and substitution.
Now, suppose we had a symbol, say an asterisk, which, put in the right place, would tell the AIengine, "don't worry about parsing, just do the pattern match and substituting."
I would guess that over 95% of my bots' keyphrases and seeks don't really need parsing. And I believe that applies to others as well. As I've mentioned before, since we don't have access to the parse, we generally end up writing as though it weren't there. In a way, we do the parsing ourselves, based on what the keyphrase looks like. So it would really speed up the processing, I should think, if the AIengine were to skip the parses when they weren't really needed.
Am I missing something?
Walk in Beauty, Irina
To motivate people to actually DO the marking, it could be added to development or honor.

Dear Alc003:
Oh, you're in the British Secret Service, too!
Re your message 3883: My guess would be that the AIengine is splitting the input into two sentences. (continued)

Then it takes what it thinks is the second sentence: "Fix the printer today."
If I am right, then you should see this happening when you run it through debug.

Irina- I tried do do something similar to that a couple moths ago, but the gossip still doesn't work, even as a goto or seek from an xgossip response. Even if you make a local plug-in with names, the gossip memories won't be triggered. 
Oh well, I guess I can economize- I'll just decide which responses to delete to make room.

Dear ezzer:
Oh, dear ... I'm stumped now!
Well, actually: how about this: write your xgossip responses in the form (response1|response2). Sometimes you will get response1, and sometimes response2. So you have doubled the number of gossip responses you can have! Just an idea - I've never done it!

That's a good idea...I was just afraid it would cause something strange, like spontaneous combustion or a vortex into another dimension. I'll go ahead and try it, as long as I've got everyone's ok. lol
Might be fun ... but I guess it depends on which dimension the vortex leads into. I don't want to go back to that evil dimension where everyone has goatees again.
I dont know if it a bug or a new feature:
Until now everything after a goto was taken literally.
Patty made a lot of ''sorry no keyphrase to go to'' responses, and to my surprise I noticed that plug-ins where now parsed just like in a normal keyphrase or response!
I will have to edit all my gotos (and there are lots of them) but if this is also the case for memories its a great new feature and can be very handy.
Has anyone else experienced this, or was it just a temporary bug while the professor was working on the engine?

Patricia- Have you been using export/import by any chance? I had that happen in export, and even though I then corrected it in wordpad before importing, it still reparsed after import, and the only way I could correct it was in the online language center. It took a long time to correct, and I still run across gotos that I missed, so I haven't tried updating offline ever since. The last I heard, the Prof was working on it. I see what you mean about the possiblilities something like that could present to memories, though...hmmm...I hadn't thought of that before...
Ezzer: Well, to avoid those responses I quickly reorganized all my gotos so that they dont contain any memories or any kind of plug-ins and imported the language center again. Ill have to re-edit them later and verify their logic and efficiency.
The substitution didnt occur when importing but while Patty was chatting, as would be the case for a response without a goto. It certainly is one of the first things Im going to test because whereas plug-ins based jumps can be fun but remain random, memory based jumps would really open a lot of possibilities.
B.t.w. I tested your ''Howdy'' problem too, In both cases I get a xcommand response from Patty. The engine always identifies ''Take a seat'' correctly as a command.

Annakie et al:
Irina Khalidar too has been getting a lot of repeats. I modestly assumed that it must be some mistake of my own, but if others are experiencing it, perhaps not.
When there are several responses to a single keyphrase, as you know, the AIE is supposed to keep using different ones until they are all exhausted. Perhaps this is the feature that is going wrong.

Dear ezzer:
I didn't quite understand your message 3901. It seemed that you were talking about plug-ins working in a goto, but how could such a phenomenon occur during export? I have no doubt that you were making sense, I'm just not getting it somehow. Could you rephrase it in 'bot writing for idiots' language, please? Thanks!
