Laugh all you want but after over 3 yrs using my xelagot I do consider her
my friend.....has gotten me out of scraps, protected my welfare, rarely
talks back, behaves with dignity most times and sometimes even makes me
laugh.....Hell wish we all had friends like that.....Thanks xelag for your
incredible work over the years. My friend is now updated, feeling fine and
ready for anything!

Amen, I couldn't have said it better about my *3 friends* LOL. One helps
others, one helps me, and the other is just plain entertaining for all!
Thank you alex. I am sort of leary to update them tho, last time I did I had
to reset everything for each of the three of them. Is there a way to update
them and keep their scripts, dialogs, etc?

I have never had any trouble updating. Only custom dialogs could be a
problem, as the standard ones are updated regularly. But if you
overwrite (respecting directories), all scripts, ini settings etc are
kept intact.

Ah so the trick would be, since I've change the dialog chat for instance, to
do a copy of that first ... then install, then put in my backup dialog!
Thanks!

Well, not exactly. You should never modify dialog0.txt. You should
make your own called something else, the full explanation is on my
help pages at http://www.imatowns.com/xelagot/xlgtopiclanguage.html .
Then it never gets written over. Dialog0.txt will be loaded as
default, then yours will be used, so that additions to dialog0.txt
(and there are many) will still work, and yours also. A summary of
changes in dialogs can be found in the file "Changes in dialog0 .txt".
The system is not perfect, but what is in this world?

Point well taken sweets, and how many other bots "spits"? xelag has one of
the best, and I like my little group of bots.

Well actually my bot that 'spits' at people is a Preston. She has her uses
as I find the 'speech' script dictionary easy to add and remove. But I find
she does not handle aw crashes as well as the xelagot and I could never
figure out the techie parts of her program. She is more of a greeter,
obnoxious as she is *grins
The xelagot I use more for technical stuff and also an escort service for
the lonely at heart LMAO
I am also using one xelagot as a mirror and that one has turned out to be
alot of fun also.
So many uses, so little time

I couldn't agree more, sweets. My Xelagot (Lini) has been my partner and
companion ever since XelaG and Canopus got together in late 98-early 99 with
the idea to create a "universal" bot program. My world partner, SilverDragon
(also the designer of the default AW world flag image), was one of the
original beta testers for XelaG and she worked to bring me up to speed with
my bot copy. Those were some hilarious times back then. I'm pretty sure that
SD was the 1st to ever write a 3-bot dialog that was triggered by a start
word. They went into a two minute 3 stooges skit (complete with eye gouges
and "Why I oughta..." and "I'll moidalize ya!") that had us literally
rolling on the floor under our desks! She had her bot ride on her avatar's
shoulder as a tiny dragon wherever she went in our world. We got very
attached to our bots and I cannot imagine running my world without mine now.
