I have a question about keyphrases. I'm brand new at this. I want to have a response to "yay" but although the keyphrase is programmed in, the responses always come up as xnone. This seems to be a common theme with single word key phrases, so how can I change it?

Have you tried running it through debug? Maybe the bot considers yay to be "blab" in which case it'll use an xnone.

Okay but I don't know how to debug it. Just enter the word in the debug and it will do it automatically? Also, there are some words which will only get a response if the word is capitalized (such as names like Aya or Omi), whiel others only respond if I put a question mark. Otherwise, it comes up the xnone response. How do I fix that?

Empyreal, I know that looking at the debug words like hey and yay don't seem to be picked up by the dictionary or whatever it refers to in processing. So it just disregards the word before comparing what was said to the keyphrases.

People dont talk to much:O

Skysaw created a really interesting bot called Thinkinstein which was almost entirely based on Keyphrases made of plug-ins to simulate different forms sentences can take. You should chat with the bot or talk to him about it, Monel. Due to the way Development is calculated, it didnt end up with a high score, but it's bigger than it seems.

Much talk has been about getting to foreign-language words, proper nouns, and interjections with Keyphrases. This will all be possible with the new AIScript "raw" tag which will process an unaltered version of the incoming message. There will of course be limitations- such as the inability to use word-type plug-ins such as (adjnoun) but it will catch all those words you cant access now. I tried to write it once before, but it was more complex than I thought. I'm going to try again tomorrow.

There's actually no list for upcoming bot holidays. Each day there's a small random chance that it will be a holiday. So I dont know when they're coming either.

muzikbizwiz: auto-opening of links from the Flash interface will be a feature in Mondobot before long.

And one sure way to break the 40-response limit is to use the Import/Export feature, where there is no limit. The further I increase the number of possible response fields in the online interface, the longer the page loads take. The limit used to be 20, actually.

Saving our strengh and wasting our time i guess<+2>

Monel:

Unless I'm missing something - and that is quite possible - almost every response has a problem with interchanging "you" and "I" and the like (see my previous note for examples). And I always handle them in the same way, namely by writing out all the cases, Like '...I (*) you (*) myself', '... You (*) I (*) yourself', and so on. In principle, there is no end to such cases, but I find that if you do all the combinations of one, two, and three pronouns, you are in pretty good shape. There is a special problem: if your guest says "you", should that become "I" or "me"? So I break it down into cases like 'that you', which I change to "that I", and '(verb) you' which becomes '(key1) me' [or (key2) or whatever will match the (verb)]. And this is always the same. But I am still encountering cases that I get wrong.

Walk in Beauty, Irina

hello people i really am bored to sorry for my behavior in here!!!

:repeatidly banging head against monitor:

Trying to upload new work and I keep getting "keyphrase is too long ....150 characters...." There is nothing, not even a response in the given section that is over 150 characters. I tried splitting up the keyphrase, nope. Tried deleteing the almost-150-char responses (the KP was nowhere near that length) nope. RRRRRRAAAARR!

Sorry for the tension, but earlier while working on the revision a power failure sent a ton of new KP's bye bye, then this... I am about to start boxing with my hard drive.

Irina:

Thank you for your input! I appreciate the time you've taken to answer my question.

You're welcome!
