Bug Stomp

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."

I know the prof made it so bots aren't having two different (and impossible to distinguish in the transcripts) conversations anymore, but is he aware it still can happen if one of them is a guest chat?

Hard to prevent that. The prof can control the bots, but not the humans. Also, they aren't impossible to distinguish. Your bot's reply to something always appears directly after what it is replying to in the transcript.

Re: message 5605. And 5608.

Hi. This is my common sense checking in. Be sure that if you suddenly notice a lack of chat windows popping up that you CHECK TO SEE IF YOU MIGHT HAVE INSTALLED ANYTHING THAT INCLUDES A POP-UP BLOCKER.

That is all.

*sniff* Frizella and Osiris are chatting. I'm so happy. Things are back to normal.

dallymo i think ur screwed...
