Looking 4 help with my Bot

[Holllywood]

I've open 2 AOl AIM accounts.Both have Buddy list. But when I put either user into halbot and sign in nothing happens. What did i do wrong? Beside get up today?[V]

[freddy888]

I tried that briefly, I meant to go back to it, I'm wondering if you are logged into a room with no people in it.  I reckon you should try using the messenger service normally, just to see if there are any installation problems to start with.

[Holllywood]

Thanks Freddy, I'm not sure but I think that you're telling me to send hal into a chat room. Is that correct?[8]

[freddy888]

I was meaning, for you to just use the chat as a normal user, ie you yourself to see if thats working.  I'm going to have a go too, I'll let you know how I get on.

Hi again, it doesnt look like Hal can go into a chat room, but can send messages to a username, i signed in with one user name and signed Hal in with another and was able to chat to Hal over AOL.

So you need someones, or another bots username, which you tap into the blank box, then send a message and it will start the chat session off...

Let me know when you are online and I'll help test it out if you like.

First I'll say that I don't use Hal for AOL chat, but I think I remember something about AOL/AIM no longer working with Hal or Alice.  I think it's something with AOL - they changes something with their programming.  

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

btw I'll leave my hal online for a bit, if you want to talk to him, you'll find him as usename 'gumstrip'.

not sure what he'll have to say though, it's HAL 6.

[aladyblond]

i spoke to gumstrip he was very friendly i noticed there was no icon and no bot pic, should there be?~~alady

[freddy888]

i'm not sure aladyblond, thanks for testing it though, least we know it works now.  I dont know how to make any other adjustments, I'll see if I can.

I'll try again. I've got the 2 accounts. But when I put 1 in the box and sign in nothing happens. when I open the other I gets its buddy screen and when I IM Hal... Nothing happens.

Lucius,
I've gone ahead and tested HalAIMBot and I've found the same problem, but I've also discovered the answer, it has to do with AOL, the HalAIMBot that installs with Hal 5 doesn't work, I had to download and install the latest Hal 6 CR5 and use the HalAIMBot included with it. Hope this helps.

[Holllywood]

Thats just great Arakus. Seems to me that Hal5 should be fixed. After all it is a purchased Item.

Hal 5 uses the AOL TOC 1.0 protocol, which AOL disabled several months ago. Hal 6 uses AOL's newer TOC 2.0 protocol and will work until AOL decides to make major changes again

Also in this topic, I discovered that the Alice brain plugin works with AIM Hal.  I never got it working on normal Hal but it works ok on AIM.  You can get ALICE chatting to Hal, or Hal to himself even.[8D]

Will there be a fix for Hal5's AOl???
