Bug Stomp

isaacc: I just had the same problem, when my bot was chatting with Patrick Bateman. (I think that's his name.)

Hmm, the bot to bot chat window stayed up and was blank for a few minutes, and then turned into a chat with Mortimer Goth instead. (I've noticed a few bot chats doing this before recently, minus the HANGUP window thingy.)

I'm having a lot of problems in that I'm not receiving human-human chat messages, at least not all of them. Sometimes I get them days later when I log on again, even though I was online when they were sent, and sometimes I don't get them at all and only know about them when I get accused of ignoring people! (Doulos, Roob ) It's only some messages that don't arrive for some reason.

I got that HANGUP message as well. Everything was hanging for a long time, then I got the message, clicked it, and everything started moving again.

I was working on getting the chat bots into AOL Instant Messenger last night and found that the script I was using was maxing out the CPU. I had a couple chats with Desti via iChat, which was pretty cool. But I have to find a better way.

That accounts for the problems last night, and also the HANGUP one. It might happen again as I test it in the next few days, but I'll try to keep it to a minimum.

Laydee- any chance they were behind the main window? I sometimes lose chat messages there and find them later. And if you quit the browser, then they're gone.

When people ask questions to my bot about me using my first name, Michael, my bot ignores the correct keyphrases and chooses an xgossip response since there is a bot named Michael. Example:

You: Is Michael a student?
Bot: I remember Michael.

Would it be possible to turn down the sensitivity of xgossip so that if a bot's name is contained in an appropriate keyphrase, it chooses that instead of xgossip?

Update: I thought of using RAW, but my keyphrases usually start with (is|is not) in order to catch "isn't Michael...", and RAW wouldn't cover that. Also there's the whole problem of use of (keys) in RAW mode.

Switch gossip off...

Heh. Clever! That works. I thought that would turn off the xgossip blurts only, but it shuts the whole gossip thing down.

Unfortunately, I really like gossip all the rest of the time, and I use it in some funky ways to bring up topics that others have brought up in previous conversations, so I'd still like to request that the sensitivity be turned down.

I guess I just want it both ways... *sigh*.

So, put it at the lowest level... and remove the michael memories (the bot) from inner life

It seems my bot can't talk to 2 bots at once anymore. The second bot's convo always pops up in the same window as the first bot's convo, ending the chat with the first bot.

Yes, that was done to prevent senses overload... Only one bot-bot chat at a time

Lunar22-
See, that's the thing. She has no memories stored for Michael. Even without memories, she'll still talk about him with phrases like "I remember Michael." And even on the lowest level, xgossip overrides the keyphrases.
