Welcome to the Forge, Raking Leaves. Hope you enjoy your stay here.

Hi Raking Leaves. The Forge is lots of fun.

I am excited to learn more about bots, this is now an assignment in my college class.

heyyyyyyy!!!!

Well I'm new...so here I am. Hopefully I'll get the hang of the programming here pretty soon. ^ ^

Xinmone, it isn't that hard once you get used to it. I suggest you read the Book of AI a few times.

Hi everybody,

I have advanced AIML knowledge and a bot at Pandorabots I used to run AI bots in Second Life. But this site appears to have additional possibilities.

BTW, can I add a basic face (like mine above) to the bot? I see no option to do this. I may have missed this at setup... AI script is quite different from AIML in its syntaxes, and I make very, very slow progress. Also it would be nice if there had been default files to handle "hello", set and get name in memory etc. Ie: Alice-type bots have 10k+ vocabulary files already there. Otherwise I have to do a lot of hard work from scratch.

If anybody can persuade me this is more advanced than AIML and I might create a premium account.

Many thanks

It is very annoying. I just deleted a bot, so I can start again and THIS TIME add a picture. But now it says, there is already a user by that name. I had deleted that bot, so there is no "user by that name".

I relogged, but it doesn't work. So now I have 2 choices - work on a new bot with a name I don't like, or just give up and go back to Pandorabots.

The bot is refusing to use a reply I wrote for it, and uses some preset phrases. Even when I put ranking of the responce to 50 it still refuces to output it.

It is a simple keyward _ responce pair, does not rely on memory, script, wild cards etc.

Other responces work even with ranking 0, this does not work with ranking 50. I even reset the bot as original, not an existing character. Realy frustrating.

Hello Ronnie 075

I have zero knowledge of AIML so I can not help you there.

How far along are you on memory, scripts, and wildcards?


Onec you become an advanced AI Script user, you will be able to program bots offline at an amazing rate.

Soon you'll discover tricks that you never thought of with regular AI coding.

Good Luck

Thank you. I got past that hurdle. Don't know how. There is terrible lag. But one thing I noted is inconsistent behaviour with "seek" - I ask the same question over and over for test purposes. In the first "forking" "seek" works at 90% of cases, at second forking in 50% of cases, at third forking in 10% of cases. Never works at fourth forking - always default to silly. I have not mastered emotions yet, but this can be interesting. Managed to set (name), so if I say my name is Ronnie, it would call me that. Otherwise it is always Ronnie075, even though it should recognise me. My name is stored in bot's logterm memory.

I am sorry for terminology, I am not a programmer.

Thank you again for good wishes.

Are you using debug mode for these tests?

It's been awhile since I really tested anything. Everyone else here will tell you to test in debug mode, so I will do the same.

People will also tell to keep re-reading the book of AI until it makes sense.

All of my questions or problems are no longer found in that thing so I must make things up as I go.

I've only been here a year, but I am sure the seasoned members here have easier answers than I do
