Manual:Verbot Editor Loading Testing and Talking

From VerbotWiki

By now, you should have a pretty good idea about creating Rules, Synonyms, and using Variables and Tags.

Now that you have your completed KnowledgeBase, it's time to load it up and test it.

Follow these quick easy steps to begin interacting with your own KnowledgeBase.


1. Click on the Verbot 4.0 icon on your desktop (The Verbot will load with the last known configuration.) 2. Once the Verbot has loaded, click on the menu item labeled "Tools --> Options." 3. Click on the tab labeled "KnowledgeBases."

4. Click on the "Add" button and locate the KnowledgeBase you created. 5. Once you have selected your KnowledgeBase, click "Open." 6. Your KnowledgeBase should now be listed in the KnowledgeBase selection field.

7. Your KnowledgeBase will be added to the top of the list. The list order identifies what Rule will be evaluated first when two Rules match from each KnowledgeBase. In other words, if the engine finds matches for an Input in two different KnowledgeBases, it will fire the response from the KnowledgeBase that is at the top. 8. Before clicking "Close," you may uncheck any KnowledgeBase you do not wish the Verbot to use. Once you've finished selecting KnowledgeBases, click "Close." 9. The Verbot will load your selected KnowledgeBase(s). Now you should try testing the Rules you've created.

Note: That the above process reflects using the Verbot Player for final testing. You may also test during development of your Scripts using Test KnowledgeBase on the Verbot Scripting Interface menu.
