most important the ALICE bot. Users love it...

I am going to put that onto my site as well in a few weeks, but I'm not going to tell the users about it. Should be fun, eh?
Now that it's been about a year since I started this topic, my site has evolved and so now I have lots of add-ons mostly ones I've written like my own gallery, profiles system, friendslist, calendar, global reporting system, auditoriums, arcade, etc. There are a lot of features I wanted my site to have to make it like a virtual city that didn't exist, so I ended up having to write my own and now I am very skilled PHP programmer. Also, there are a lot of mods out there which I have looked at and are just poorly written, so I have to either clean them up, or write my own implementation of it.
I'm currently working on a virtual movie theater which will allow users to construct playlists from youTube, Google, iFilm, etc videos and have them in a chat-room setup where everyonce can gather and watch the movies and talk about them. Also in the works is an IM-system that runs in the site, powered by AJAX/CSS layers and div tags to allow members to communicate via something fast-- in between PMs and the Chat room.
Every month or so, I take a poll of what feature do the members want next, and that's howI prioritize what features I should be working on.

Dog Cow, you users will find out quickly who is the bot because in the beginning it is really extraordinarily stupid! You'll need lots of AIML files. Maybe it is time to work on the next forum bot generation?!

What does Alice require as far as server needs and how do you implement it?
I was looking into it, and remember the days of Eliza, so this would be a neat trick to put on.  |

I use shared hosting without any problems but the aiml files make the database size explode! If you want to make a bot forum you will have to prune sooner or later depending on the database size you can use.
Is there a similar mod in development for phpbb3?

I'm not too worried about the database size, since many of the forums I build are on other people's servers. I even have my own servers to test forum packages and to host.
For example: http://206.71.145.165/cgi-bin/yabb3/YaBB.pl
Its part of the bigger site:
http://206.71.145.165/goju/
(still on my server, but the dns is down because they did not pay their bill!) |

Not that I know of.

Yeah, I know. It will just be a surprise, is really what I meant.

Hi Elfen,
Someone already ported the Alice E program to phpBB a few years ago, so you can download it here: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=24191
Alice E is a port of the Alice program, designed to run on phpBB, so you can run it by itself or as a chat room/bot.
Next, you will need the AIML files. These are what gives your bot intelligence. The download I linked to includes two default AIML files, which will make your bot slightly smarter than a rock, but only because it can respond.
So, these files are located here: http://www.alicebot.org/aiml/aaa/
Scroll down a bit till you get to the colors, then right-click the filename to save it to your computer. Make sure that the file has been tested on program E. How do you tell? Example: file Adverbs.aiml to the left says "Programs Tested: D, E, J, N, P, Z". If it lists an 'E', then you can use it for phpBB.
After you have got all of your AIML files, follow the instructions that came with the phpBB AI Bot mod to upload the files and then goto your phpBB Admin panel to insert them in the database. The files themselves take up several Megabytes, so you can delete them off the server when you're finished inserting them in the database. If you insert about 10-15 AIML files, this will add about 20-30 MB in size to your database.
When everything has been setup, visit your Admin Panel, change some of the AI settings to your liking, then you can post in the forums OR send your bot Private Messages.
Fun fact: this bot DOES learn things! I did an experiment where I posted entire Wikipedia articles to it, and it can respond to things and will learn! The more intelligent text and info you 'feed' it, the smarter it will get.
Exciting!

Thanks a lot!
I'll be looking into this as an addon to a phpBB Forum site I'm currently building.
This is a great help! |

Yeah, it's a good way to build up the post count.

Yup! From my experience the bot needs training. From posting 1000 and up it starts to make sense.
