This is just a very quick post to announce that I have updated Kon Offline to version 1.1.1 on 1/1/11. :)

There’s only one change in this version and that’s an updated LB Brain that I’m testing out. The biggest change is that when constructing sentences it can go look backwards as well as forwards through the brain files. Previous versions of the LB Brain only looked forward. What’s the difference? Consider this:

“empty as your soul!”

vs

“Your words are as empty as your soul!”

In the past the first line is what Kon would spit out. Now it will try to spit out the second line by going backwards and looking to see what “empty as your soul” is connected to. Sometimes it will mix things up and create hilariously weird lines. Sometimes it’ll be just right.

Anyway, this is long enough. Go download, test and let me know if you like the changes.

7.4c has been released just in time for New Year’s Eve! It’s a little bigger than 7.4b. Download links and full information on this patch after the jump.

This is a small update to the bot that I thought I would release as a Christmas gift to anyone who still uses this program.

ADDITIONS

• Upon the very first run the bot will now attempt to help the user set everything up.
• Added !accesslevel to eventually replace !newlevel.
• Added the ability to sell items. Max amount a player can sell an item for is 80 zeni (92 with haggling)

CHANGES

• Changed a few minor things so that bot owners wouldn’t be reset to a basic user upon setting up their character for the first time.

FIXES

• Fixed the possibility of having negative HP/MP when using a boost if the boost was set up to take away HP/MP. Now if the player doesn’t have enough it will simply not let the player boost.

Kaiou 7.4b Patch
Kaiou Popups version 3.3.1

I debated on whether to put this on my website or not, but since I am an active player of FFXI and I have been trying to update this plugin for the unofficial Windower, I figured I might as well. It’s also on my FFXI Blog.

With that said..

Whether or not you agree with it, the unofficial FFXI Windower does have some handy little add-ons. One of which is something I use: Infobar. If you’re unfamiliar with it, it basically just adds a bar at the top of your screen and when you scroll over something (say a monster) it gives you information on the subject. It’s mostly used to look at monsters without having to run to the wiki. It can tell you if a monster aggros, what level range it is, if it’s by sound/true sound/etc etc etc. It’s handy and I don’t think it’s really “game breaking” like some of the plugins that some people use.

Anyway, the database has been out of date for over a year now and it doesn’t seem like it’s ever getting another update. I’ve decided to take it upon myself to start trying to update it. I know this is going to be quite a task, as there’s tons of new monsters in this game, but I figure..well, why not? If someone else comes along and beats me to it, I’ll gladly just give the link to their work but until then I’ll try to update it periodically.

One of the biggest updates to the bot in years, Kaiou version 7.4 steps up to the plate with a bunch of new additions, changes and bug fixes.

I’ve been busy working on new versions of Kaiou and Kon.

Kaiou 7.4 will be one of the biggest updates to the bot in a very long time and will introduce three completely new skills, one skill that has been revamped completely, the ability to sell unwanted equipment for zeni, a new tech status type, new and updated jobs, and at least ten error fixes. There might be more in the final release so please stay tuned for that!

As for Kon, well it turns out that Twitter decided to axe their basic authentication. In short it means that the current public release of Kon was unable to connect to Twitter any more. I’ve managed to partially fix this in the version I’m working on, but I’m still having a bit of trouble with the !twitter command to display the current tweet. Hopefully I can get a workaround soon so the update can be released.

Kaiou should be released sometime next week. Kon is still up in the air. But in any case, please look forward to them both. :)

In an effort to try and improve the offline version of Kon, I’ve updated to a new version!

This version fixes a minor lag issue that was appearing when text was entered to when it actually appeared in the chat box. This version also re-introduces the conversation logger (it’s on by default) as well as a config file to save your options (including your nickname now). There’s also some very few basic colors to give it more of an appearance of an actual IM program.

So please check it out and enjoy. As always, if you find any bugs or errors please let me know about them and I will try to fix them for the next version.

I sat down and decided to try and hammer out a better version of Kon Offline and I’m almost done with it. So far I have eliminated the lag that was present when you typed and hit enter to when it appeared in the chat box, added some basic colors for the chat window (to make it look more like an old-school IM program), added a logger so that conversations can be logged, and added a config file so that various settings can be saved.

This version will be uploaded in a few days after I do some more testing to ensure everything is working right. Until then, be patient. :)

Hey everyone!

I know there’s a bunch of people out there who have taken interest in my C# Chatterbot, known as Kon. And I know that not everyone is able to hop on IRC and go chat with him. Watching it post on twitter is interesting at first but sometimes you wish you could just interact with it. Well, today I have the solution for you!

This version is just a version to prove I’m still alive and that the project isn’t 100% dead! With that said, it should be obvious that this is not a very big update. In fact, it only does two things.

* I fixed a very minor mistake in which the LB Brain wasn’t actually searching the entire sentence for the key word like it was supposed to.

* I made it so Kon can now search for two key words to create his response with. For example, if you type Kon: Count Dracula, it will try to find both “Count” and “Dracula” in his brain together to create a response. This is not going to work as good as it sounds though. Because if the words “count” and “dracula” are not very close to each other, i.e. on the same line, in the brain it will fail. But for two words that actually belong together and are generally next to each other, it will help a little bit.

And with that said.. that’s it for now. Next version, whenever I get around to it, I need to try and clean up the code a bit as it’s getting way out of hand and is pretty sloppy.
