## New to v0.2.0:
## o various bug fixes (esp. blank posts fix)
## o some degree of coding clean up, but needs more work (I got bored after about 3 hours :P )
## o SRS (Salient Response System) - makes bot give far more salient (succinct and to the point) responses
## o response for private messages to bot's username
## o waaaay better variable tracking
## o customisable welcome message from bot to newly registering users
## o much, much better AIML updating from admin panel
## o move away from various traditional ALICE systems to better suit phpBB/forum systems
## o repositioning of files to better fit phpBB standards
## o improved installation procedure in install.php (now loads initial aiml files at same time)
## o added some intergration mods (note the ChatBox intergration mod - this is REALLY cool ;) )

Many, many thanks to parad0x for this. Instead of having to wade through some 50 pages of replies you can find all the info you'll need here. You can find the latest version of this [here] to see if there have been any changes.

Just trying to consolidate everything since the release of Version 0.2.0
I may (and most likely have) left things out, as this has turned out to be a fairly large task. If you spot something that I need to add or change, please let me know. I will keep this post up to date as best I can. I hope this helps.

[edit]: For a quick reference see the very useful Topic Consolidation thanks to parad0x

Interested, tell me more.

[sj26]

Yes! I am definitely interested, but not for replying to topics, rather for being a boss of a battle system. Would it be able to be programmed to battle a user? I am creating RPG Mod and would be very interested to talk to you more. Follow the link to the RPG Mod Forums.

[morpheus2matrix]

yes! i'm also interesting ! !

[Kajun]

Sounds like fun, I'm interested. If it was configurable to operate only in specified forums, this would be great fun.

[Killah]

iam intrested...would love to have it....will be much better if u can configure it to work on specific forums and stufss...nice one..so when u relasesing it

[RMS]

...how would this be? Would it be specificially made to be a sort of interactive FAQ bot kind of thing that works from a rough, but building database or what?
Well so long as it is looks reasonably intelligent, and maybe I can get away with passing him off as another member for a while that would be awesome.
WOuld you be able to assign his name, and profile stuff like the other users?

[Kage Musha]

hehe sounds good. This one could be fun as a member

[RMS]

hrm, if one could be created, could perhaps two be made? ...maybe even with slightly different "personalities" or even if not, have them still be able to look like they talk to each other sometimes

[Joshua418]

I am very interested.
Would it be configureable so that one could limit the sections it can respond to?

mad hotness

[zemaj]

I'll make it so that it will only respond to forums which are choosen. I'm also looking at an aproximate percentage of posts which get responses. I'll posts up a list of stuff it will do later in the week.

It should be out in about 3/4 weeks. I can't start work untill the end of this week, but I'll have a lot of time 2 weeks from now which means I should be able to get it done in afew nights then.

If it could have a male/female personality would be the kick.
I also agree if it could be passed off as a member with nick and a profile would be a good thing.
Since it is AI, it would have its own database to learn from if it could be set to respond to certain topics. Also making it global so that it can be place on different hosting servers.
If you are talking something simular to Alice that would read post, this would be so KOOL!!!!

[zemaj]

Actually it uses ALICE technology, which means, while it's hard to edit (basically you have to learn the language whihc it uses) after that you can basically define all the basic responses.

Also there will be options to define:

• name
  gender
  master
  birthday
  birthplace
  boyfriend
  favoritebook
  favoritecolor
  favoriteband
  favoritefood
  favoritesong
  favoritemovie
  forfun
  friends
  girlfriend
  kindmusic
  location
  looklike
  question
  sign
  talkabout
  wear
  website
  email
  language
  msagent

Straight from the admin panel - thus no advanced knowledge needed.

Right now the brain doesn't really have a good "remembering capacity" - it doesn't really record things well, but I'm working on this for a more advanced version.

Finally about storing it on one server - this could be ok, but it does take a while to process each comand, so the server would have to be fast. Also, it is a little hard to do with php, but it can be done.
