Yes you can. I would suggest making a new aiml file, naming it custom.aiml, and upload it. Run botloader.php and your custom aiml will be included.

Mike Gaidin

09 Feb 2003, 15:59

Awesome! I'll do that. Does it reload all aiml files, or just new ones?

Thanks Martin64! :D

Martin64

09 Feb 2003, 16:49

Yes, if you run botloader.php it will reload all the aiml files again, and it will also empty your old patten and templates tables.

If you just want to add that extra aiml file, read the guide I wrote about 10 pages ago:

I am still having a problem with the fopen....

My server said that for security reasons they have disabled "remote" fopen()
functions on their servers. Until these security issues are resolved they
are not enabling remote fopens() function. However, fopen() will work for
all local files i.e. if you are including or opening something locally,
it will work.

Can someone please tell me how the $ttb_alicelocation should be coded to read as a local fopen in tomstalkerbot (line 46). I have tried the following:

$ttb_alicelocation = "/forums/upload/alice/src/talk.php";

and I have also tried the more involved link that shows in my FTP..

OR,

since I do get the talk.html up in the browser and the talk.php with the reply... is there some way to "just" include this in the header without messing with fopen?

I suspect you'd need the exact path for your vhost account. Ask your host about this, as it depends on where their vhosts are located.

The evolution of "Hal 9000"
I was having a hell of a time trying to get tom bot and the plugin to teach it working properly. so I had asked a friend with a bit more programming experience to look at it

this was the resultant thread
http://www.tech-lounge.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=668&perpage=15&pagenumber=1
notice the progression
around page 6 or so "Hal 9000" finally starts talking. It was like a minor miracle.

My buddy, name is kitzke is now bot master. :)

on a side note, I had a thought
2 bots running in one forum
pinky

if I can only get the ai to respond properly

In tomstalkerbot.php find this code:

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

Change to:

Code:
---------------

Change X and Y to the ids of the forums you want to use in addition to the one you already set. Add more OR clauses as needed (or subtract as needed) in order to include all the forums you want.

I have not tested this, but it should work. If you don't understand the code I pasted, don't try to do it.

16 Feb 2003, 14:45

Maybe you can make the bot an admin or moderator and give it permission to place html. That mod is somewhere around here but i'll attach that short effective hack. ;)

In the mean time i'm buzzy to translate all the alice aiml files into Dutch. A tremendous job but i use a prog that does a 'search and replace' and that makes a huge difference.

trilOByte

18 Feb 2003, 05:29

Installed perfectly first attempt - excellent hack, thanks. ;)

It does seem to learn dynamically.

Me: what is your name?

Bot: My name is Scully.

Me: How can I teach you new things?

Bot: If you want to teach me something say it in one sentence. Then say "Remember that."

Me: My name is Martyn. "Remember that"

Bot: It's good to meet you, Martyn. Don't worry I will remember it.

Me: What is my name?

Bot: Your name is Martyn, seeker. :baaa:

...then later in a different thread, she remembered my name and included it in a sentance without prompting.

Bot: Yes I sure am alive, Martyn. It's great to be alive, isn't it?

I think the bot certainly does learn, though the plethora of casually inflected English confuses the AI to bits. Basically, the bot just cant make any rules out of the way we usually gibber at each other in forums, it's way too complex. I think you have to start simple, with plain English and work your way up to it. Scripted answer/response bots have been around for ages, but are dull and uninteresting. What makes ALICE so different, is that it actually learns. It constructs it's own sysntax rules based on the input it gets. Sure, giving it a database full of pre-scripted responses, gets you halfway there, but the quality AI comes from it structuring rules, rather than following scripts.

At least that's the way I understand it.

I would *love* to get my hands on the ALICE aiml files used for the current (silver) version on the alice website. Ironically, to make it more natural straight off the bat, you'd have to feed it a huge database of questions and answers as well as a bunch of rules for using them. You'd basically have to remove the Intelligence from it, in order to make it *look* smarter.

Where it's going to fall over time and again, it with lengthy posts that contain several salient comments. It will never be able to pick out rational points and answer them in such a way as to produce a logical discussion. It can fool you briefly, based on simple Q & A, but complex rationale is decades away.

Once the novelty has worn off, I think by far the most useful thing for this hack is as an interesting interactive FAQ.

What I would like to see, is it be silent unless triggered by a keyword or command like "bot, what is....". You could work out some method of an occasional random reply, just for interest sake, or a welcome message for new members etc. But giving it totally free reign, will probably just produce a flurry of novelty activity, resulting in a garbled AI.

This hack has huge promise and could be one of the greatest ever.

I do agree, right now the poor bot on my forum is being used alot, though I know eventually the novelty wuill wear off and being able to do something along those lines will make this great bot one of the best and most enjoyable I have ever added to my forum.

19 Feb 2003, 01:26

Exactly Wolfman, this is a great hack with a ton of potential, but as it stands at the moment, it's only value is transient entertainment. It *will* get boring and I would think most people will end up turning it off. That would be a huge shame and a waste of an amazing piece of code. We need to make it useful, to give it a purpose. Imagine if the bot would only respond to you if you addressed it directly by name.

e.g.

Me: Bot, what is the capital of Russia?
Bot: IIRC Martyn, it's Moscow.
Me: Thanks, Bot.
Bot: You're welcome.

Triggered by it's name, it responds, but the rest of the time, it's totally silent (well, maybe you could program in for a few random replies throughout the day, just for interest). If we could do this and had a good database of Q&A stuff, you could let the bot have acess to every forum. You would never hear from it, but it would monitor the forums 24/7 and as soon as it was triggered, it would respond.

As it stands at the moment, ALICE is designed as a 1 on 1 chat bot, so it responds to everything, all of the time. It will always have 50% of the postcount in any forum open to it. Entertaining for a while, but eventually, it's just gonna be spambot!

It needs to have it's rules tweaked to be more appropriate for an open forum, rather than a 1 on 1 chat scenario. Poeple could still chat with it, but they would need to address it directly in order to trigger a response. You could also set it to monitor for other "keywords" that trigger a response.

21 Feb 2003, 12:43

OK, I've spent a little time looking at this and think I understand a little better how this thing works.

One thing in particular it would seem that the extent and breadth of the AIML files determine pretty much how smart the bot is. I think most people are a little dissapointed with the default set. But... looking at the aiml set, I notice there are a couple of files that do not seem to belong to the default set.

std-65percent.aiml
std-pickup.aiml

The rest all begin with either numbers or the alphabet. It seems as though these two additional files add something to the personality of the bot.

Well, I checked out http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43190 which is the download url for the original PHP program e, you'll see at the top, there are two sets of aiml files. It would seem that the two files I mentioned above, have been taken from one set and combined with the other. The interesting thing is that there are another 33 files in that set. I'm wondering if those additional 33 aiml files can be simply added to this hack to make a bot that is halfway clever.

Does this make any sense.

I'd really appreciate someone who knows what they are on, checking this out.

These extra files look a helluva lot like bolt on topics, or personality enhancements.

trilOByte

21 Feb 2003, 13:46

Here's the extra aiml files I mentioned. I've just added em in ADDITION to the original ALICE aiml files and re-ran botloader.php.

First impressions are that the bot seems smarter - or at least knows more.

I have absolutely no idea what these extra files do to the server load, or db size. But they do seem to work (I think).

wolfman

21 Feb 2003, 19:08

I have a question that is only partually related to the bot.

My users use the "new posts" link alot and during a switch of styles I had to re add that to the board. Well since then I have added this bot and my post count has more than trippled. This means when they click on the "new posts" link they will be getting all these posts in this one forum I have the bot in. Which so far is only people having fun and does not really offer any real info.

Is there a way I could limit the search of new posts to everything but this one forum? if so what is the easiest way to do this. I just prefer simple over complex.

21 Feb 2003, 23:46

For the original source of Program E including more AIML files - see http://www.rydell.com/programe/

Would be interesting to know what version this hack is based on.

Latest release of Program E was 0.08 which was released on August 23, 2002.

trilOByte

22 Feb 2003, 00:06

Yeah, Webdork, that's where I got the files above from. I followed the download links from rydell.com to sourceforge, which offered two sets of complete aiml files. It would seem that the aiml files in this hack, are a cut-down combination of those two sets.

You can exclude forums from the search, this is from a hack request I submitted a while ago...

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

There are two instances that need to be changed.
50, 63, 71 are the forum ID's to be excluded, just change to your Forum ID's

23 Feb 2003, 06:19

The interesting thing is if you use the java client included, the bot seems *much* smarter. It's the character length limitation which dumbs down the conversation.

The bot *seems* much smarter when the conversation is a quick succession of brief exchanges. It seems as though it follows the conversation.

I'm gonna run the bot as a popup java box, with custom aiml files for a FAQ.

REQUEST
What I would really like, is a way to stop the bot responding on the forums, unless it was triggered by a keyword (eg: "Alice"). The I could run the bot as a propper chatbot/FAQbot via the popup, but also have it as an "on demand" bot for the forums.

I think that would be the slickest way if integrating this hack.

Part of the problem is that in a chat, the conversation is linear.

In a forum, with multiple threads happening at once, the bot treats it all as one linear conversation, so it gets confused with names and topics, and comes across as dumb.

I suspect that if you restrict the bot to only 1 thread he may appear smarter.

No way, Matthew. I'm very interested..... just don't have the programming expertise to be any help with the sort of development we all need.

These hacks are awesome. We have two bots running in separate (private) test forums. For now, both bots are sharing the same data files..... but we'll make a new database for the second one after we're able to customize it/her/them well enough.

Ultimately, we want to have two conversational forum bots running (separately)....... along with a third FAQ-bot to personalize that function. So anything we can do to make it easier to train them is truly important.

Thanks to all who've been working on these hacks, so far!!

Talis.

I think that would be the slickest way if integrating this hack. [/B]

I am new to hacks and what not. But why not just add a if statement in the tomstalkerbot.php.

Something like.

if ($ttb==1 AND rand(1,100)<=$ttb_weighting AND $forumid==$ttb_forumid AND $bbuserinfo[userid]!=$ttb_memberid) {gottb();};

take out the $ttb_forumid and replace it some how with a search in the $message string.

If this was visual basics i could do it in a minute but not sure on how to in php.

Just an idea..... Hope makes some sence.

Ok I got mine to do it... that was to easy... I hope it helps.

In tomstalkerbot.php

Find

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

and replace it with

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

Now it searched for its name in a post and reacts on it. Name can be any place in that post.

Such as "hello bot name how are you"

it will answer

If you still want it to only one thread. Then replace the above with .

Code:

Aha knew that was our problem. Okay to sum up where we are at in both testing and live

1. Testing on win2k box, how the heck are we meant to run the sql file (has no one attempted this on win2k yet). Okay going to have a stab in the dark and try and run each command from the sql file manually.

2. Live database, Cannot set time in safe mode. Am presuming this is a setting we need to get our host to have a look at.

Well that's where we are at :dunno:

04 Mar 2003, 18:07

All righty!!!!!!!!!!! Problem 1 fixed, AI running on our Win 2k test box :thumb:

For anyone else toiling with this sort of setup. Open the sql file in notepad, drop to a command window and go into your MySQL bin directory and get a MySQL session under way.

use databasename

Basically type in each of the commands from the MySQL manually :(

Probably a faster way, but what the heck it will get you up and running. You could also probably knock up a pretty quick php script to do it for you :)

Two things we did to overcome this (and yeap it's a warning about running in safe mode) :)

1. instead of running botloader.php run botloaderinc.php which loads the aiml files one at a time.

If still not getting the category loaded figure above 0, check the additional files have been created correctly :)

Call your host and have them remove safe mode then install the hack

You were right, although I had safemode turned off in some places I called the host and it was on somewhere because not botloader works...thank you....awesome!!!

My host will not shut it off but awhile ago they made a special cgi-php folder for things that go wrong with safe mode and that is where I have been trying to install it from.

where you have the DB connection change "localhost" to the address of the server your DB is on and then add the user/pass details.

Test it and if it doesnt work contact your Server admin and tell him to allow remote connections.

Then it should work :D

here ya go sorted it to work in SAFEMODE

what i did was edited some of the files and changed a bit of code

also what you will need to do is upload the alice folder after following the instruction then delete all the .aiml files apart from the startup.xml

then reupload them 1 by 1

like this

1.aiml

run botloader.php

then deleted

then upload

2.aiml

run botloader

then delete

etc

do this and it will work perfectly also i have choped the 1MB W.aiml file into smaller ones also uplod 1 by 1 and get back to me if you come across any errors

I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if anyone finds a decent soloution to this (or maybe releases a SQL dump of data to be loaded manually). :)

I had that problem. My bot was just posting smilies. I deleted all the tables the SQL file makes, restored them, then tried again with the modified file in safe mode (uploading one file at a time, deleting, uploading the next one, etc). Then it worked fine. His variables could do with some tweaking though, but he uses about 15 MB of database as it is.

Anyway, the tables to drop are;

bot, bots, conversationlog, dstore, gmcache, gossip, patterns, templates (NOT template!), thatindex amd thatstack. Just drop them then re-run the SQL file.

My 'bot' table in the database keeps getting more rows. I have about 1000 entries now.

what if all your bot is doing is the smileys but when i got to look at my tables i dont see any of those tables you mentioned

My botloader seems to run ok until it gets to A.AIML (or any that are slightly bigger than very small), then it just's drops out.. no error message, just says "done" in the browser.

I'm guessing it's some sort of timeout setting.. any ideas ?

I have read just about every post and still dunno what is wrong. I have the same problem as everyone that it only posts smilies and also takes around 2 mins to post (just in that category). I have yet to see anyone complain about taking so long to post, but has anyone else had that prob?

C.Birch

07 May 2003, 14:59

it posting only smilies is due to your aiml files not installing right in to your database, check that your database hold's the tables and they have data in them eg:

you have the table 'patterns' and it as 287,772 (13.7 MB)*will not be the same file size but you get the idea) of data in it.

Also check in yout bot table that the bot part of the data is set to 0

Its defo to do with your database and its only posting smilies because thats in the hacks php codeing where the replys are in the database and that it is not finding so it can only reply with smilies.

mADmAX`

07 May 2003, 15:01

I have 26 records in "bot"

They are all pointing to "0"

Is "bots" suppose to have any tables as mine is empty.

Patterns has (273772 total) records but nothing makes sense as alot is NULL etc. (dunno if thats right).

Nebby -- Well, that depends on how much your members chat with it, and how often you set it to reply.

BrAinZ -- My bot has gotten slightly more intelligent since I installed it, but not by much. I think you just have to have nice, long talks with it, and it'll pick things up.

Anyone -- I installed the "Teach the bot a Question" hack, but it doesn't work. I typed in the questions, generated the .aiml file, and ran botloader after hacking it, it successfully loaded custom.aiml, but the bot doesn't respond any differently to the questions I tought it than it did before.... why?
