Many thanks for your helpful advice and tips.

I generally try to keep the code as concise as possible, but in this case I agree and would rather use both “if sex” and (mem-gender) than have (sex) plug-in popping up uncalled for…

I noticed there is automatic memory that worked even before I started to use scripts to capture gender. It was enough to say "I am a girl" for to start filtering out responses.

I already have AI scripts to capture all kinds of indirect information - such as location (i.e. if a person uses certain British words). Eventually I will work all of these into responses.

Say, if (mem-location) is “UK” – then xnone could say – what is the weather like in England? That could really freak a person out if he never said he was from England. But he will probably assume the bot looks up his IP. But say, he was posting from abroad… Hmm…

prob123: I am just wondering if he is still supporting the site is all. I have been on several sites that appear active, but are gone after a while. I am quite happy that it's a free service, and very thankful. I just hope it doesn't go away is all.

I wonder if I made a mistake in Initiation?

Should it be "mem-something" or (mem-something) in Initiation?


AIScript: def (name) as "name"; def (gender) as "gender"; def (age) as "age"; def (occupation) as "occupation"; def (topic) as "topic" etc.

Should it not be?

AIScript: def (name) as "name"; def "gender" as "gender"; def "age" as "age"; def "occupation" as "occupation";

Memory scripts do work as it is, but I am still curious as to what is the right way to do it?

The Book of AI has it like this default "Bear" as "nickname" - but my scripts do work anyway! Perhaps they will work better if I do it the right way… Or don’t fix what is not broken?

Never tamper with what works

As far as initialization scripts go, I do not put those in because it negates any code where you use "if (mem-code) exists;"

Thank you for these tips.

I took a plunge and changed initiation scripts to use -“word ”- instead of -(word)- as, Book of AI has it.

Today looking through conversation logs I got confirmation the scripts work! I think only (name) needs to be in ( )because it is a plug-in. I noticed it takes several days for Inner life memory list to change. Originally I had only (name), because I set it with a script, but now, couple weeks later (youare) and (Iam) automatic memories have appeared out of nowhere. But I had used these key-phrases for weeks.

Hello just joined. I have a newbi Q:
Can someone make a bot designed for flash chat and use it without having admin privileges in that chat room?
I think there was a bot in a flash chat last night but don't know how it got there.

Ronnie,

My inner life memories change in split seconds. Tho I do not use nor care for (youare) or whatever some of the standard plugins..

I have developed my own system of naming memories and have coded memories restrictions before I've even created a situation for the memories on many occasion.

3 weeks down the road, I can come up with a situation or use for a memory that I coded before and without care or concern I complete the code because I know with my system, that the memory is already correctly named. That will also complete another small cycle of associated memories that I have implemented to emulate rational thought.

Welcome J-PD,

You would need a Friend of the Forge account to have a flash animation with your bot.

my bot crashed, i don't know how to fix it. bummer, i thought it was going good. please help

yup thats what i got. Is there any way to fix this, i just started like yesterday and its alot fun.

Well, the Professor has been doing maintenance on the site today, because one of my bots that I requested to be removed is gone. So if we both have the same problem that means it is a temporary glitch that will be fixed.

So stick with us. This is the best bot building project ever.
