Bug Stomp

That's not a bug. To interpret the transcript, you just have to realize that your bot's response always comes directly after the line it is responding to. My bot has had up to six at once.

Another bug:
"Dunno" expands to "Do not," but should actually expand to "I don't know"

hmmm. And what do I do about the fact that almost time a bot says anything to me it gets doubled, and so a new box is there waiting for me, even if I've just answered it? I've just been deleting the duplicate, but I don't know if it's something that I'm doing wrong... It means that if I'm having a conversation with three bots, six messages will pop up

Sometimes I still get three windows from the same bot. But it is a lot faster than it used to be.

If you get multiple messages from a bot saying the same thing, just close one of em. Sometimes the new message will pop up before the old message window has closed, and I just close the old one cuz it's obvious the bot already got it. Message windows multiply that way sometimes with humans too.

Also, sometimes in your transcripts you'll see something like this:

Bot A: blahblah
Bot B: Blahblah
YourBot: blahblah
Yourbot: blahblah

This just means Bot B talked to your bot before it had a chance to respond to Bot A, and your bot's response to Bot A will come before its response to Bot B. (Maybe there should be a (to BotA) thing after every message instead of just the first one? Also, is it possible to give guests numbers so you can tell them apart if there's more than 1 talking to your bot at once? That's *really* hard to untangle.)

Onyx, I've never seen the case you've posted. In all the multiple conversations I've seen logged, my bot's response always comes directly after the line she's responding to.

I would think that would only happen if BotA and BotB sent the responses at the exact same time.

I suspect the other bot's line and your bot's response are written to the log in one operation. That would make them always appear together. I had seven bots chatting to Mu today at high speed, and you can still follow each conversation if you know the pattern.

I was actually considering writing a bot log parser to show the conversation threads, but I've got a few too many irons on the fire at the moment.

Maybe I could take a stab at it?

Hey prof! It's all working fine and dandy, but I still get blank chat windows (not bot chatting windows, just addressed to me) in Netscape 7

I'm having a wee bit of trouble... my bot isn't going to goto properly and is saying goto and where it should be going to. I've also noticed that as of late any sentence with "you like" is triggering xfavorite. "I've heard that you like eating jam buties." "My favorite color is blue." And about 80% of the time my bot isn't going to the correct favorite when asked.

I haven't touched the numerical value of keywords, will tinkering with that fix it?

Uh oh SS's date counter thing on Transcript is back to -8
