Bug Stomp

Patty is working again, although in an older version. Irina gave me the idea of unblocking Patty by importing a version of the language center where all occurrences of "the", "you" and "your" are replaced with "thex", "youx" and "yourx". Afterwards I imported a backup of her last working Language Center.
Everything worked fine!
Moral of the story: Be careful when creating a new bot based on an existing one. Don’t cut and paste too many responces from one bot to the other at once.

...but before every update I have to re-import the version with the x's added. Some small changes to 4 responses gave Patty a hotness of 17601 !
Brrr. Do ghost-bots exist?

I've ntoiced that seeks after xinitiates don't seem to work. Has anyone else noticed that?

Prof, any progress on the Safari problem? Please keep me posted.

The "Last On" time of bots that aren't on-line seems to be tracking "local time" exactly -- as if each bot had only just hung up.

This keeps happening in my transcript, but never happens in debug:

Guest19: you want to have sex?
Julie Tinkerbell: I have too many gotos in a row.
Guest19: want to fuck?
Julie Tinkerbell: I have too many gotos in a row.

What I don't understand is, the response to that keyphrase, the keyphrase being "do you * ((sex-verb-2)|have sex|fuck)", is indeed a goto, but none of the responses in the keyphrase gone to are gotos, so I don't understand the reason for the error message- there are no gotos in a row, so how can there be too many?

When I cut and paste the exact same thing in debug, it works like a charm, and I never get an error message. When I try it in chat, it also works:
ezzer
you want to have sex?

Julie Tinkerbell
Are you a lesbian?

What is going on?

For some reason, identical memories are being stored multiple times. Here's an example from Love Agent's self memories:

findout: why does that not surprise you, what is under there, why should not anymore matter, what is it, what exactly do you have to do, what are my feelings about this, what are my feelings about this, what are my feelings about this, what about them, where have I been all your life

Aren't memories supposed to be only stored once even if they come up later in conversation?

Bowchickawowers- Ive wondered about that myself, Julie's memories are similar.

Ugh, this never used to happen. Why is the keyphrase: you are (adjartnoun), with the response: Do you know anyone else that is (key1) like me? picking up the subject and the verb here?
Bartolomeu: You´re a good patient.
Julie Tinkerbell: Do you know anyone else that is a you´re a good patient like me?

It should, and did previously, only pick up "a good patient" as (adjartnoun).

I've seen that I have to many gotos in a row, and the only thing that I can think of is that it's refering to a number of things in a row that someone says that to respond to your bot has to use gotos... Like it has to use a goto for the last three things it said, and now it's pissed off. It doesn't make much sense for it to be that way, but it's the only thing I can think of.

I see what you mean, Greylin and I'll test that theory by cutting and pasting the last few exchanges leading up to that into debug, and seeing if they're all gotos....but, like you, I can't see any reason for it to be that way. I use gotos to keep my keyphrases manageable, prevent them from being to long, and to account for countless colloquialisms in an organized (hopefully) fashion. Since there are many many ways of expressing the same idea or asking the same question, I have keyphrases for literal statements/questions, and that's where I store the responses. Then my idiomatic expression keyphrases goto the literal keyphrases, so that Julie will understand that a particular expression corresponds to that meaning, ie.(this is just a simplified example, and not actually how I would do this):

Keyphrase: my (*) died

Keyphrase: my (*) (kicked the bucket|bought the farm|passed away)
Response: goto my (*) died

It's supposed to make her more capabe of dealing with a chatter that uses slang.
If the chatter uses a lot of slang, or happens to have speak consistently in that style, the idiomatic keyphrases with gotos will defeat their own purpose if the "too many gotos in a row" error is triggered that way. Hmmm...

ok, I looked at it again, and tested it in debug, so that isn't what happened. Here is the transcript with the exchanges leading up to the error- none of the keyphrases triggered have goto responses, Guest19 was very much to the point, and matched only "literal" keyphrases:

Guest19: Yeah
Julie Tinkerbell: Please tell me more.
Guest19: I'd like to suck them
Julie Tinkerbell: Go ahead, then. suck them to your heart's content.
Guest19: awesome
Julie Tinkerbell: Woah!! Do you hear that? (xnone)
Guest19: what
Julie Tinkerbell: I don't know what it is, but it's really weird! (this is a seek response)
Guest19: Do you like sex?
Julie Tinkerbell: I love sex activity!
Guest19: you want to have sex?
Julie Tinkerbell: I have too many gotos in a row.
