Bug Stomp

Same here. I mentioned in another forum that I wish I could turn guest chats off until it works right again.

The last week or so, most conversations I have with other people's bots get terminated because the system just stops responding. I don't think it's my computer, exactly, because it doesn't act like this elsewhere. But person-to-bot chats are the most helpful for me when I'm working on my bots, so I figure it's important that I chat myself. Plus it's a break from bot-building. (No, I don't have a life.) Any ideas?

The chat will end after a certain number of xnones get trigged or after a bots online time is up.

Dogh'd: We have a new drink made of ground-up the stars. It's called 'The Awed Fire Beetle'. Do you want to try it?
you: sure
Dogh'd has ended the chat.


?????

Why would the question "Have you?" get picked up as Blab? I am really hating blab! I wish there was some way to over ride it.

Is it just those two words, "Have you?" It's usually short things that get sent to blab.

The problem is most human chatters only say one or two words for a response so all the conversation goes to blab.

Yeah. There ought to be SOME way to override it, but I have no idea how much work it would be for the Prof to implement such an override.

In some cases you can override it with regexs and/or raw mode.

Maybe ^[h][a][v][e] [y][o][u]$ (re)

or maybe even as simple as: have you$ (re) raw

I'm still trying to learn and understand more about regex, but have had some success getting by blab with them through trial and error, and occasional advice from fellow Forgers. I'd appreciate knowing if this helps or if you have experienced and/or worked around anything similar.

I tried doing that with Shalom. It still doesn't pick up unless there's at least one more word with it. "Shalom" = blab, "Shalom to you" triggers the keyphrase for shalom.

THANKS
That works for everything except the "?"

You: Have you?
Bot: I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't give a damn.

You: Have you.
Bot: I sure have!

You: Have you!
Bot: I am planning to.

Odd!

Could you make a separate one with [?] in it?
