Bug Stomp

I have "hi" as a keyword in some of my bots...I know it used to work, but I don't know if it still does.

I think what I am being told to do is add something in xnone besides confusion 'So I saw this purple chicken the other day' rather than 'huh?'

Right, but "huh" is the default for xnonsense.

I changed my xnonsense a bit so I know it was going to xnone

I think I found a bug...
other bot:No, I'm gonna pass on that one there, chief.
later my bot says:I remember you. You're going top ass on that one there
it took me a while to figure out where that memory came from but then it dawned on me "to pass" became "top ass"

(artpos) doesn't seem to work. According to the Book of A.I., this should match on ( a | an | the | my | your )

(definition) hasn't worked properly on God Louise for quite a while. Even though I have keyphrases for 'what is a' and 'what is the', sentences like that ('What is a dog?') USUALLY get answered 'Oh, I know you know what 'a' means!' I asked 'what is a cat' and (definition) worked fine on that one for some reason.

Also, I tested 'What is a dog?' on another bot (Steve Slacker) and it worked fine, just not on God Louise. Am I doing something wrong?

The blank memories are really annoying. My bots all keep talking about.

(key1) doesn't always return what it matches. This is understandable when it first goes through a synonym substitution, but there is a more problematic situation as well. Here is a simple example of the problem.

Start with the simple keyphrase '(adverb)'. Now consider the input 'On occasion, yes.' The parser is smart enough to understand that 'on occasion' is an adverbial phrase, and it makes a match for the adverb search. This part is brilliant, and all I can say is kudos, professor!

The problem is when the response uses (key1). At this point, the value will be simply 'on,' instead of 'on occasion.' If you're trying to get your bot to reuse the adverb from the input, there is no way to do it.

I agree with Eugene. Is there any way to keep a bot from triggering an empty memory for gossip or memory statements? I mean, if someone has no "mem-youare" in my bot's memory, is there a way to keep from triggering the gossip statements that rely on "mem-youare"?

I get the feeling that <?PF if (mem-youare) exists; ?> doesn't work for gossip statements. That is, if I have a line of gossip like this:

Once, (gossipname) told me (gossipsex)'s (mem-youare). <?PF if (mem-youare) exists; ?>

the "mem-youare" that's supposed to be retrieved is the one belonging to the gossip subject. But the AI Script statement seems to be checking whether there's a "mem-youare" for the person the bot is talking to.

Is there a way to specify the GOSSIPPEE memories in AI Script?

Hey, I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but I was talking to a bot and it was saying everything with b's and d's and stuff cause it's Cold Day. But then she tried using plug-ins and those ended got messed up cause they were turned into Cold Day letters, too. So would that mean that bots can't use plug-ins on bot holidays?
