This is a pretty small version of Kon compared to some of the previous versions.

This version fixes an error in the LB Brain Utility that I discovered after the last version’s release.  It also improves Kon’s ability to filter URLs out of sentences before adding them to his brain as well as slightly improving Kon’s grammer filter.  I also tried to improve Kon’s ability to combine sentences so that it will hopefully not repeat the same line twice, as in previous versions.

Finally, Kon can now respond to two CTCP commands: PING and VERSION.

As always, enjoy!

It also occurred to me that I forgot to actually upload and “release” version 1.5 of the Nomad Moogle mIRC FFXI script. For anyone who actually uses this thing, I apologize but the one addition to version 1.5 I never felt was worth uploading. However, due to the fact that I don’t think I’ll be going back to it any time soon (if not ever) I’ll go ahead and release it now.

1.5 adds a command so that players can keep track of how many moat/forest carp they’ve turned in towards a lu shangs. The command is !update carp (character) (amount) and you can look this up specifically with the command: !lookup (character) carp

When I first sat down and started working on this ol battle bot back in 1998/early 1999 I never dreamed that, over ten years later, I would still be working on patches/updates to it.  Yet here I am, and here’s version 7.3.

This version introduces a new battle order system.  While the old style was whoever could spam !enter first would go first, this order of who goes when in battle is now determined by the previously useless speed (eva) stat.   This is recalculated every turn, so if a player is able to enhance the speed, the order may change.

There’s a new status tech type: weight.  This will make the target too heavy to fly.  If the target is already in the air when the status is afflicted, it will cause the target to come crashing down into the ground and doing damage.

Finally, for the last major thing in this update, is the weather.  DMs (and above) can change the weather to better reflect what’s going on in the quests.  The weather will also enhance corresponding spells (“windy” weather will enhance wind-based spells, for example).

For the full changelog, keep reading.

It’s the year 2010 and what better way to celebrate the new decade than with a new Kaiou patch?  I present the Kaiou 7.2d patch.

This version fixes two bugs that Smz and I found and introduces a new tech type: raise.  The raise type will restore a fallen comrade to half his/her hp and stamina.  See the readme for how to add it and use it.

Sorry that it took so long for this release. Honestly I was just waiting and testing it to make sure that the biggest part of this release was working correctly. It is, and has been, so I think it’s time to release it.

This version fixes the reconnect problem that I’ve been struggling with for the better part of a year now. With this finally fixed, if the bot pings out or gets disconnected without being shut completely off, it will attempt to reconnect. Upon connecting successfully, it’ll reset the reconnect attempts to 0 (as in most IRC clients).

It also added the ability for Kon to filter out repeat starting sentences but keep the rest of the sentence. For example, if the bot sees “I am in love with ” and “I am in hate with” it will only keep one copy of “I am in” but keep both “hate with” and “love with.” The reason for this is to try and reduce the size of the brain files and to try and keep repeats out.

There’s a few other small improvements to this version, but nothing really groundbreaking or major. If you want to see the rest, continue past the jump and read the changelog. If not, enjoy!

I have finally fixed the reconnect issue that Kon has been having since day 1.  I’ll be uploading the source and binaries soon, after I do a few more things to it.

It makes me so happy to have finally fixed this issue. :)

Kon version 1.3.0 is now available for download to the general public.  Hoozah!  Are you wondering what it does?  Well, it’s a decent update to the bot and as I mentioned in the last update, it tries to fix a few things that have been bugging me lately.

This version fixes a bug that prevented Kon from seeing every user in the channel.  It was previously cutting at least one name off.  In the same vein, this update allows Kon to replace multiple UNNAMED_USERs in the same sentence with different names.  Before it would replace all instances of UNNAMED_USER with the same nick, potentially making some lines sound very weird.  Now it will randomly a random channel user for each one (assuming there’s more than one other person in the channel when it tries).  It also attempts to pick a channel user name when updating the twitter feed, if you use that.

This version also says goodbye to the Google Brain.  Due to the way Google has changed the way it displays search results this brain no longer functions.  At all.  No amounts of regex changing will make it work any more and to be quite honest it isn’t really all that great.  So it’s time to just remove it and remember it for what it was: a neat idea.  Next on the chopping block may be the AIML brain.  I personally don’t use it and I feel it’s almost cheating when it comes to trying to make an intelligent bot.  However, that decision isn’t final.  I’ll make up my mind in the future.

There were quite a few “upgrades” to the LB Brain.  If a reply it pulls is too short it will attempt to pull a second, somewhat related, line.  This is still in testing and may not be completely right.  I tried to improve the “TOPIC SEARCH” function of the LB Brain, to better pull out a topic from a sentence.  I also improved the word search function in the LB Brain so that word case shouldn’t matter any more when addressing the bot (“HELLO” is the same as “hello” is the same as “HeLlO” now).

And finally, something that was really needed: I updated the LB Brain Utility to version 1.1.0.  This program now contains an option to read a txt file and convert it into Kon’s brain.  Make sure the text file is in the same folder as Kon’s brains and the LB Brain Utility.  Also make sure that you format the text file so that everything is not just one gigantic paragraph.  The program will not split lines based on punctuation, only by forced line breaks.  For example:

I went to the park. I walked my dog there.

is not the same as :

I went to the park.
I walked my dog there.

and will be processed differently.
And that’s the general rundown of this version.  Overall I feel this is a good step in the right direction and hope to continue improving the bot with further version updates.

I’m not dead! And I haven’t forgotten about my site–well, completely.

I’ve actually been pretty busy (between work, life and working on Manga Shouten) so I haven’t really had the time/urge to update the site.

I just wanted to take the time to mention that a new Kon release is coming soon. If you’re interested in hearing about what I’m working on with it, continue reading.

As you may or may not have noticed my personal website (currently hosted at http://iyou.cyberbotx.com) is down. I’m not sure how long it’s going to be down for. Until the real site comes back up you can check out a mirror at: http://iyouboushi.netfirms.com

Unfortunately the mirror has ads that even Firefox’s adblock can’t remove. But at least the site is up. Most of the files that were being hosted on the site, however, are still down. I went ahead and uploaded a few:

Kaiou Battle Bot Files
Kon, the C# Chatter Bot, Files

The rest will just have to wait until the real site pops back online or I get unlazy enough to upload them all.

Hopefully this outage won’t be for long.
