Linking in a chat bot to zMud
|
Anyone ever nicely link in a chat bot to
their zMud?
I had one that I ported from a pascal before
my laptop crashed. No backups.
Looking back on it, it was probably insane
to do the code in zScript and probably
should have made a plugin.
Currently training one that uses the DDE
connection through IRC which is a quasi
kludge.
Anyone else do something more useful?

What's the bot written in? (Sounds like you have no backups of your Pascal one)
If it's a language that supports ActiveX, your best route is probably to do a plugin.
You could probably also use ActiveX object variables in zMud to run a chatbot written in Excel or something similar.
How complex is the chatbot? Is it something like an Eliza derivative?

The bots I'm playing with are the trainable
kind that sorta give useful information
when talked to. So Eliza derivative to a
degree. Works well when you parse it through
google to give it a non-english speaking
individual trying to cope with what you are
saying.
ActiveX, never thought of looking into that.
I know there are ports to the ActiveX. I suppose I was looking for an easy way out
and not play overly with ADO.
I shall explore that way and thus be able
to ask more pointed questions ;)
