Many questions are answered in the FAQ.

Two questions:

1. Is there some way to turn off the "volunteer" responses? I have a character who is explicitly primed [50,0] to say what their favorite movie is. Instead, I get random answers that are totally out of character, courtesy of some response data in the background. I finally got the scripted response by jacking the Rating up to 150.

2. [related] Where do the bizarre substitutions come from? I asked a character if they had read For Whom the Bell Tolls, and they responded, "No. Is it fun to victimize For Whom the Bell Tolls?" What?? I understand that the bots need to have access to more than just our responses, to seem spontaneous, but what's the point of building a bot around a character if the engine is going to ignore the "in character" stuff that's sitting there waiting to be used?

I have had this problem with my "perv trap" as well, and I can't seem to defeat it. With a hundred traps set up, the bot still responds to sexual invitations with comments like, "That would be a fun way to spend the weekend," etc., which is not only totally out of character, but gives the sex boy a taste of exactly what he wanted.

well, you * read * For Whom the Bell Tolls rank=30 works fine for me. No need for regexes, raw mode or blunderbusses.

I found one cause for the (read=victimize) problem. I had used this approach (tildes are tabs):
Do you like to (verb)?
-(verb)? I don't know how to (verb).

I thought that would repeat the identifed verb. Apparently it substitutes random verbs instead. Revising as
~(key1)? I don't know how to (key1).

I've done that by mistake on a few phrases (put in (adj) or (verb) instead of (key#)). So it's easy to do even when you know it should be a "key".

I'm going to start experimenting with the sentence parsing tools in the PF2 addenda. I get into cases where I don't want (key1) unless it is the verb.

i know this is of topic and sounds stupid but can i add some of you guys to my friends list? you can say no if you want

19 years ago #3457
No, it's perfectly within the topic bounds.
Yes, you can add anyone you like. Or did you mean 'may'? Can't speak for anyone else, but you're welcome to add me.
We don't even have a way of knowing - why would we need/want to say no?

LOL @ Psimagus. You are starting to sound more teacherly than I do...and yes, "teacherly" is so a word. Would I lie?

LM I think you can add anyone. I only add bots to see when they are on line (and then I rarely have time to chat with them). I'm sure you can add people, but I'm not sure what it means.

19 years ago #3459
LM - add who you like, fine with me.

My (enemy) plugin has been working fine for some time, though when I initially used it, it had nothing to plug in...I'd imagine your bot would have to really hate anther bot/user (5 frowns, maybe?) for it to use their name.
