Alicebot addon?

[Trekkie101]

Hell yeah id love to see this  in SMF, if i could write in php i would write it.

[Chaplin]

Any updates on this?

This mod would be cool

[Trekkie101]

I looked at it in the mean time but integrating it seems a bit harder I cant seem to even find the right files.

i havent looked at any code relating to this but...
Sources\Post.php should be at least one file needed to modify

and make new file that Post.php wil call if it is posted in board that 'Alice' uses to chat with others

This is DEFINITELY one for the Experts! Chances are why it's not done yet, those that can are too busy with more important things, and those that have the time, don't have the skill.

Actually one apporach i didnt take was look at the phpBB code and see how it was sdone there but It is for experts thats for sure, the sad fact is I spend huge ammounts of time on TrueBasic and that isnt the best language, I wish i could donate all the hours of work on that into php and try and do something.

Yes this is. I'll take look when Arcade 1.0 Final is ready... as i dont have much time it can take long till i even start coding
But i hope that some one will make this

Actually I would love to have this as an addon or mod.

I had an Alicebot on my forum when I ran Invision 1.3 and it was really great and a lot of fun. I have a basic understanding of the AIML files and have been developing a set that would work on my site.

Simply put if you configure a proper AIML file you have have your AliceBot help people by answering basic questions (think of her as an automatically posting FAQ ) Or you can just have her chat around for the fun of it.

One of the options of the AliceBot for Invision was the ability to answer to her name OR she was limited to post only on certain boards.

I think it would be a great addition.

[Trekkie101]

I can do AIML, its the integration with SMF and the calls to make her work that are the hard part, the AIML is quite logical after a while, automatic support helper, fun friend, infact she could run a forum instead of an admin lol

[JRSofty]

I've got the files for the PHiliP creation of Alice that could be used for SMF but I'm still getting familiar with SMF and I don't think I could even attempt to write a mod for it. 

[AGMR_Rhino]

this would be bad ass please someone do it 

[Apnomis]

I'm confused, what exactly does this do? None of the linked examples work anymore

I've seen chatbots before, but how does this work on a forum? It posts a reply to a posted message? How does it "learn" exactly? And how do you program it in a specialist subject? Seems complicated to me! Like on this forum she would need to be able to answer questions about SMF, on my forum she would need to know about computers!

All seems very difficult to implement to me, but it would be very very very cool, I'd love my forum to have an AI!

[ryanbsoftware]

it would make posts, by running a query on the db.

I think this would be awsome, it might stimulate some activity on my forum.  Is someone working on this?

[JRSofty]

I have the actual source code for Program E AKA PHILIP which is the PHP equivalent of ALICE (most of the AI Chatbots are based on PHILIP).

If any one is interested in where to get the source code check here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/programe/

[stargazer_1017]

OMG. . .I'm waiting for this as well! Being, I don't know much about how to program, I would like to see this developed on SMF! I was also on an IPB forum when they had this bot, and it was so much fun. This is something I'd like to have on my forum to get more people to chat up a storm

Is anyone still planning on working on this?

It would be quite interesting, but difficult to translate

[hel8itch]

is there any chance of someone doing this one yet..would be brill

[JRSofty]

It would be quite interesting, but difficult to translate

Actually the translation could come in the form of XML files added to the bot's database. The Program E bot above can speak English and German and I think there may be others. You would only need to learn the XML format of the files that the program uses and build your own files upload them and then it would speak whatever language you wanted

[Snickers]

I want one!
