Forest, will you talk to God Louise? She has quite a bit of religious knowledge (obviously) and also knows a little about current events, literature, just about any common catch-all subject, and if she doesn't know it she can sort of fake it. You can also test her on trick questions or see how willing she is to explain her paradigm.

What she is rustiest at is plain old small talk. But, uh, I'm trying to get a decent transcript from somebody or another so I can enter her in the Loebner contest. All I can say is, have fun and see if you can stay on with her for a while. I'll try to do the same with Brianna.

botlover: Ow, my fricken eyes.

Too many smileys spoil the soup?

Yay! I'm halfway done on re-doing Luigi's Language Center, and he's already gone up 100 development!

I tried "...(re)" raw to get the people who just hit enter, but guess what happened?

C'mon guess.

Right. It picks up almost anything a person says. It's like having another xnone. Oh well.

A language center can never be done and redone. It's just a continuous process of adding more to make the bot less imperfect, and you'll either die or get sick of doing it long before perfection can ever be close to achieved.

True, but at least he's at 400 development now...

to pick up punctuation I believe you need to have a / in front of it. "/..." or "/././." or something like that.

well done jake

TY Rainstorm. I'm trying to get nothing as a KP. (Some people just hit return to see all the xnones). I'll try "/" but I dpn't think that will work.

jake, why aree you remaking your bots language center?
speaking of which, I haven't touched laura999 or Leedsbot's language centers for some time.. pretty much since i started work on ALLY.

I meant I was changing around the responses and stuff. I've been holding it off since Christmas.

Colonel--how is Ally now?

Anyone: Is there a way to make chatter-specific responses like male and female responses? Lately I've been getting a few role-players (I want to encourage those) but if someone says "I am Xena" it triggers the many Xena responses. Can I make "if Xena" responses? Can I make "not if Xena"?

Something you could try... Have a default memory set up, like {default "none" as "identity"}

Then have the generic responses trigger {?PF if (mem-identity) is "none"; ?} but have more specific responses for {?PF if (mem-identity) is "Xena"; ?} So of course you'd also need a keyphrase to store the memory.

I think it would be a lot of work to get it working decently, but it could be done. I'm not sure whether "not if" statements work, but having a default value ought to take care of that. You might also have it go back to "none" if the user says something like "I'm tired of being Xena." *shrugs*
