In the rcbot_botprofiles_readme.txt, details of what to do with the 4 common_hal files are a bit vague. For some reason, rcbot 1.3 does not come with the common_hal.aux so I have absolutely no clue of what to put in there. Also, the common_hal.brn is basicly void of any examples so im unsure of what to include there either.


Cheeseh, can you offer any assistance? I want to know exactly what I can and can't do with these 4 common_hal files. The more detailed you can get, the better.

you can think of it as another bot_chat.ini file but really you are just putting arbitrary sentences into it, rather than a sentence that a bot might say to you in general. This file should contain a mixed amount of sentences on seperate subjects preferably. Read the megaHAL "training megaHal" section at megaHAL homepage (http://megahal.sourceforge.net)

4.4 Training MegaHAL
When MegaHAL is started it has no knowledge of language, and is unable to give a reply at all---the program needs to be trained using a source of text to ensure that it does not reveal its identity prematurely. A large corpus of training data was created for this purpose.

The training data is made up of various texts:

Hand-crafted sentences designed in order to create a personality for MegaHAL, including sentences containing a false name, age and occupation.
Encyclopaedic information taken from the Web, on topics such as geography, music, sports, movies and history.
A selection of sentences picked from transcripts of previous Loebner contests.
Lines of dialogue taken from scripts for movies and television shows.
Lists of popular quotations.
A small amount of text in languages other than English.
When MegaHAL is trained using this data, it is able to respond to questions on a variety of topics. It is hoped that the program will also learn new topics from the judges, although this remains to be seen.
