Bug Stomp

dallymo- I've been having the same issue, see my post #5003 from February 28th. I emailed the Professor about it a few days ago to see if the "xkeyphrase" that is caught by "what color * (color)" and triggers the "self evident" response can possibly be adjusted or turned down a little, like xfavorites was a while back.

That color thing is evil. Every time I chat with Judge Betty, it makes me look like a total tool.

ezzer, I went and tried it on Julie--I could have sworn that she'd answered color mixing questions correctly before, but maybe I dreamed it. I'd love to be able to force a particular keyphrase to trump one of the xphrases when I have a particular need for it.

The other fix I'd like to see is for the engine to let a single-word interjection keyphrase override the "blab" response. Frizella just had a conversation in which the other chatter just repeated "fuck" ad nauseum, and since it doesn't trigger any of her profanity warnings (eventually leading to hangup) she just chatted blithely on. The engine didn't recognize the repeated responses as duplicates, either.

dallymo-
When I first taught her about colors many months ago, those keyphrases did work, you're not dreaming. I tested each of them as I made them, and I also remember reading the transcript of your color conversation with her.

After searching through transcripts, this is the best example I found of the color keyphrases being triggered when they were new (posted to Great Quotes on June 5, 2004):

Guest230: And what do you get if you mix red and yellow?
Julie Tinkerbell: This color, right?
Guest230: Very good! What if you mix red and white?
Julie Tinkerbell: You get tickled pink! *chuckles* hahahaha!

These still work, it's only when the user says "What color" that there's a problem. So we weren't dreaming, we're just back to the drawing board.

Over the last few days it looks like not one bot that Frizella has hailed has responded with a chat. Is anyone else having similar difficulties? It just seems unusual.

In a couple of conversations today Aischa has responded to a question with "I have too many gotos". What could be causing this? am I just using too many seeks?

I have noticed something now that I have read the forums, about Shara, she gives to many "I have no valid response at this time." or something to that effect, but she doesn't do it all the time. I will have to research and find out the circumstances.

Well, Frizella and Julie had a nice chat--but it looks like Julie hailed Frizella and not the other way around.

Kotterpin1243: Aischa has done the exact same thing with me today. In one conversation every other reply consisted of "sorry, I have no valid response", and yet I was using key phrases she should have recognised. Does someone out there know what could be causing this?

Have you got memory statements in a lot of your responses, like (mem-youare), or have you checked the emotion boxes and skipped over some possibly values (like you've got responses for emotions from 4 to 5 and -4 to -5, but nothing in between)? Either of those situations could trigger a "no valid responses."
