FOSS: 'chatroom'

[liam]

This isn't pure code, but stuf.

FOSS:Main

Here you can download the .fla of my fake chatroom, full of AI driven bots, that you can use to trick other people into thinking the AI bots are real. It's funny, trust me.

I haven't explained my code, but it's fairly simple to understand.. so even basic actionscripters should get the jist of whats happening. Most of the code is on the frame, the rest is on the two buttons but thats basic stuff such as send message, etc.

The main things you should be altering/adding to are the subjects that the bots can talk about. It's fairly simple, all stuck into arrays. The arrays I suggest you add to are the 'names' array, 'music' array, 'fave' array and the 'msgs' array.

When you've done something worthwhile, host the .swf on imageshack so we can see it.

Just checked out the file, AS is pretty simple, works a charm as well.

I've never used UI's for anything before...

Yeah, I just submitted it with my alt too.. I wonder how long until people realise?

I look forward to what people add, should be cool.

[Inglor]

change

setInterval(chat, (random(250))+800);

to

id=setInterval(chat, (random(250))+800);

and add

if(!random(90)){
outputTxt.text += "You have been banned for not following the rules";
clearInterval(id);
}

at the end of chat right before the last } in it

You gave this entry a 5!
If this game is protected you will get a PROTECTION point!

what's it's current score?

[Denvish]

Irregular intervals would be better.

function chat() {
.....
outputTxt.text += AImessage;
dtime=random(1500)+200;
clearInterval(interv);
interv = setInterval(function () {chat();},dtime);
}
onEnterFrame = function () {
if (outputTxt.vPosition != outputTxt.maxVPosition) {
outputTxt.vPosition = outputTxt.maxVPosition;
}
};
chat();

Also, you need to find away to prevent someone appearing on the userlist more than once. One Inglor is quite enough ;P

It's a good little program, but even the most gullible of Newgrounds fans (like myself) will realize that everyone only says about 50 things. Thanks for the original entry, though.

Very clever man, this ain't no chat. ;) August 23, 2005

Haha, you think I wouldn't figure this out? This is no real chat. It's nothing more than a load of constantly randomly generated strings that you can contribute to, none of these people even bother to talk to you except for when you make your name.
Heck, the messages kept on coming on in when I blocked all traffic with my firewall! Haha!
You sure got me though, I thought it was real at first! This makes for a great aprils fools joke or something!

Heh, its funny :)

Ha.. I accidentally left the [X] button on, click the info box again (it should be renamed 'close') to close the box.

A link to this is going in my sig for teh n00bs

Ya, lol that was really gay, don't worry i voted five, just reviewed zero because you tricked me T_T. I got the jist after everyone started asking what day it is...

Also, try and make the messages come out more random. They post at too steady of a rate, maybe try making there be pauses and double messages and such between people...

Yeah, Denvish has done that.. plus I've changed it so that only people from the user list can talk. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but people that weren't in the user list could still talk.

Change the names, for, and chat function to this:

_root.AIcount = random(10)+12;
names = ["Inglor", "-liam-", "-JackFiore-", "Afro_Ninja", "animatorjones", "AnnoyTheWorld", "BlackmarketKraig", "BlackOut2005", "BleeBlap", "Bloody_angle", "BucketHatBobby", "Buzzwerd", "ChronicLord", "DeadThreat", "Denvish", "dusty_h", "Foreverkul", "frostedmuffins", "fwe", "g-angsta", "Glaiel_Gamer", "GuitarBrdArounO", "GuntherSwanh", "Hexinety", "iceimp", "Jakspeed", "JSilver", "jwags1", "Kirk_Cocaine", "LogoPresents", "mlikecheese", "Mr_Ellipses", "Neo_Pikachu", "Nico_Ownz", "nightcrawlerclock", "Ohls", "RageinCagein", "RANTish", "Razorhawk", "ReNaeNae", "rigor-mortis", "shadow838", "shugo_knight", "SpamBurger", "stickmoose", "trayson", "XeroXcape", "Zen-Zinxe", "T-H", "Wade", "TomFulp", "lilJim", "Tim", "NegativeOne", "SlightlyCrazyDude", "ramagi", "Stamper", "Earfetish"];
for (i=0; i<AIcount; i++) {
nameNum = random(names.length);
_root["user"+i] = names[nameNum];
usernameList.addItem(names[nameNum]);
}
function chat() {
days = ["monday", "tuesday", "wednesday", "thursday", "friday", "saturday", "sunday"];
date = new Date();
day = date.getDay();
user = _root["user"+random(_root.AIcount)];
music = ["Eminem", "Tenacious D", "Fiddy Cent", "50 cent", "Britney spears", "offspring", "the offspring", "system of a down", "lordi", "the gorillaz", "oasis", "elvis", "the Beatles", "some crap", "kaiser chiefs", "the radio", "Pink Floyd"];

clearInterval(interv);
interv = setInterval(chat, dtime);
}

[s1nt3ch]

it's cool, i would change one thing though, you should change the interval at which stuff is posted by the bots. it seems timed too perfectly to be real people,, maybe some random generation of post times within a second or two

[Starogre]

Lawl, i just said that :P

And liam, you posted the fla for 2004 not MX so i can't change anything in any code >.>

I r not up-to-date =_="

[liam]

Here is the .zip with the MX fla :)

The MX version is also more upto date, oh well :)

[Starogre]

Is it just me or does the MX one not work whatsoever?

I have a splendid idea, when a user clicks send you send his sayings to a database, and then you load what all users said when thinking they chat, and you fetch it into the array, I don't mind doing the server side if you need it

[T-H]

Haha, do it

Huh? Wouldn't that just be doing a normal chatroom?

O_o..

I think I understand what you mean.. so the sayings are all user defined without them even knowing it?

Wooow! im getting famous! ^^ Haha! I just watched myself saying i was watching tv four times a row. and was chatting with three denvish'es

Nice fake there though liam! :)

[Inglor]

I mean the database of phrases grows externally
each time someone plays it it knows how to say more stuff
user says something
php records it in sql
user 2 opens the flash
user 2 ets all the normal messages AND what user1 said
