Heh.. how fun/annoying would it be to put an eliza engine on all the speechless NPC's... :) Of course you would have to seed it with game relevant information, like possibly lore. Could do things like look for basic words like "hello hi help" and have it just spit out a random peice of lore, and if you say something more complex, have it just generate an eliza response. Of course.. to make it interesting, much like rumors in nethack, we would have to preload some false ones. --- Tim Rightnour < root at garbled.net > NetBSD: Free multi-architecture OS http://www.netbsd.org/ NetBSD supported hardware database: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/hw.cgi _______________________________________________ crossfire-devel mailing list crossfire-devel at lists.real-time.com https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/crossfire-devel
