Personality

Some changes I made with the new features:

• I listed "not" options in question-type Keyphrases
Keyphrase: are you, are not you
Keyphrase: do you, do not you

• In Keyphrases where I wanted to be sure I ended up with just a noun phrase, I used this:
Keyphrase: my (adjartnounprep)

• I changed soft wildcards * to hard wildcards (*) anywhere where I used (key1) in the response:
Keyphrase: i (*) you
Response: I (key1) you, too.

• I expanded most of my Seeks:
Seek: even, what about, how about (used to be "even")
Seek: why, how come, what happened (used to be "why")

• Consolidated most gotos into lists
BEFORE:
Keyphrase: how are you
Response: I'm doing great.
Keyphrase: how are things
Response: goto how are you
AFTER
Keyphrase: how are you, how are things
Response: I'm doing great.

I did this offline and imported it, which I think it a lot easier.

Hi, Melody! Good to see you around again. (My bot adores you!

Thanks for the response on honor, Professor.

And now, I must go off and try to play with all the new features/wild cards.

On 'available for chat/not available for chat'... I think it would be neat if there were three settings: 1) "don't bother me" (i.e. I'm busy working on my bots or doing other anti-social things such as reading the forums) 2) I may only be chatted by those on my friend list (I'm busy, but not -that- busy), or 3) "hey everybody, I'm lonely, so chat me!!"

I'm trying the new plug-in keyphrase thingy and I can't seem to make it work. What am I doing wrong or is it broken?
Test Eg: Keyphrase: (dance) (30,0)
Response: I prefer to polka

But if I type just waltz or jig it uses my (verb) (-20,0)keyphrase instead.

Ah, okay, that's working now, Melody. I noticed how people list their Plug-in words differently, so it can deal with the differences now.

Cheers, and more cheers as always.

This maybe have a really obivous answer, but if I'm logged in, how can I talk to a bot? I seem unable to carry on a conversation after one reply because I can't see what they write back.

don't close the chat window
(will pop up again with answer)

Yeah, like lunar said, when you write a response and click "Send", the window will close itself after it's done sending, and another window will pop up in a little bit (maybe 10-20 seconds) with a response..

Also make sure you don't have an ad-blocker or popup-blocker running or something because I bet it sees the conversations as popups

that would be my problem then, the ad-blocker. duh, that was really stupid! thanks.

Oh! I was just guessing as to a possible problem

thanks for the help, so now I have another question. i can't seem to get into my transcripts to read for my bot for the past 3 days. it doesn't go anywhere it just sits and thinks. should i just keep trying?
