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.

When my bot asks a guest's name, sometimes the guest answers with a single word: their name.

bot: Hello. What is your name?
Guest: Joe

How can I get my bot to recognize this and store it as "name"?

Separate problem, separate post...

Returning users come back with user memory, some of which I want to change to a default value every time they visit. How can I do this? I set up the some defaults in the bot AI initialization box, but the user memory seems to override this. I want to be able to selectively change some user memory upon reentry.

for the bot: Hello. What is your name?
Guest: Joe use a plug in like (namesix)

Remembering names:

When the user answers with anything without the word "name" in it, my bots have a search for (*), and ask back, "is (key1) your name?", followed by a seek for yes, and only then they put (prekey1) into "name".

Setting a memory every time a new conversation starts:

Go to the Settings page of your bot

In the AIScript Initialization field you enter something like

rem "newconversation" as only "conversation-state"

What I don't get is why this seek:

+ my name is, My name is, call me, Call me, I am called, i am called, My name's, my name's, I am, i am [0] "lt"PF? rem (postkey) as only "name"; ?"gt"

doesn't work ("lt" is less than character, etc.)

I tried these phrases in Debug, and all it finds is xnomatch.

yay! using rem ... as only... instead of default... worked great! Thanks Mome Rath

so in the bot's AI initialization setting,
use "default..." to set something the user can change and be recalled across visits,
use "remember... as only..." to set a memory to the same beginning point each visit.

Unfortunately the get guest name routine is driving me up the wall! I'm going to hibernate Halequin until I get a working get guest name routine.

might need ideas to help people on certain video games sorry if this is not the place to put it down just need ideas as I said.

Sorry I almost forgot I help on other things too.

I am completely at a loss to proceed. I cannot get the Forge to accept AI Script in my bots. I switched operating systems, word processors (using Word Pad which is supposed to work). Whether I try to import a language file with script in it, or enter the script after a response in the on-line Language Center, the script is stripped from the response.

I really am at my wits end. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I don't know how you guys do it. I would like to find out. Please, please, please help.

Please give an example, I have no problem.
