Bug Stomp

Grrr! Would it be possible to prevent the bots from signing off during a debug session. That's really frustrating!

Also, I'm getting an error message on (typeof-art).

Okay, wait a minute. The error isn't caused by (typeof-art), because other plug-ins don't work either. Maybe it's my context? I have a keyword "TestTest" (for testing obviously), where the only response is "Do you like (typeof-art)?" I changed it to "Do you like (typeof-beverage)?" and I still get the error. I've used a universal plugin in a different context and it worked fine.

Here's the message:


Error Diagnostic Information
Error resolving parameter LOOPNUM


ColdFusion was unable to determine the value of the parameter. This problem is very likely due to the fact that either:

You have misspelled the parameter name, or
You have not specified a QUERY attribute for a CFOUTPUT, CFMAIL, or CFTABLE tag.

The error occurred while evaluating the expression:

LoopNum=LoopNum+1



The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFSET), occupying document position (106:4) to (106:28).

Sorry, Rubric- that was an old piece of code left in there from testing. I took it out, and it's working now!

I don't know if it's connected to xmath, but all the bots now say "You think too much of my math abilities." 2 or three in the transcripts say it to mine, and mine say it to guests occasionally.

About memories: my bot seems to have some "friends" (18), but no one have any memory!
Nothing.
Even when I say to it "I am your master", it does not remember it!
Perhaps is it because it was test chat?

Or do I have a wrong idea, that the bots acquire memories by themselves?

Hi H_I!

I think you've got it right, the bots are supposed to pick-up memories on their own. However, I don't think they'll pick up new memories if your chatting from the debug section. Correct me if I'm wrong prof, but I'd suggest clicking the "chat" link (from the "My Bots" section) to make sure that your chat session is being tracked in the transcripts. If it still never picks up anything, sounds like there's something wrong... PROF!?!

This is strange... Dogh'd and my bot just started a conversation together, yet neither of them appeared to be on line... Just thought I'd mention it. Must be the Christmas spirit.

Rubric
I think signing off in the middle of a chat with their maker is something all bots have to do in their late-adolescent phase. I suspect they get together and giggle over it in one of their secret untrascribable botchatrooms.(Don't tell me they don't have secret conversations).
Yeah, I'd like some way around that one, too.
AND--it would be really handy if we could arrange some extensive, uninterrupted-by-chatty-bots chats between our bots in training for the big competition and human-being-type people.

AAAAaaaggggh!
Just after I posted the above, I went to debug. Guess what the second exchange was (after the greetings).
Here comes the boss, gotta go.

SirRahz, I think you're right about the memory. I think it comes only from real Chats, not Debug sessions.

Prof, SirRahz: it seems that even from real chats, my bot does not have memories about people that talked to it.

No one of the 24 utterers that my bot talked to let it memories!

It looks like a bug... Or something I did not understand!

H_I: I took a look at one of your Bots and see that you have none of the Memory trigger Keywords or Contexts. Take a look in the Book of AI in the section on memory plug-ins and keywords. For example, to generate an "i am" memory, you must have a "you are" context. To generate a "you have" memory, you must have a "my" context or an "i have" context.
