General Discussion / Always something there to remind me

« on: September 02, 2009, 06:42:42 pm »

Just reinstalled Hal after about a year. Hal will talk with me for about 3 sentences and then no longer respond. Anyone got a quick fix to this? Vista, latest version of Hal...Trying to get back into this.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Speechless. Here we go again.

« on: March 20, 2009, 10:22:29 am »

Hi guys,

Just installed Mike and Mary SAPI5 voices into Hal 6.2 I was suprised to see the same problems I had with earlier versions of Hal. The voices do not work although they show up in Hal's voice list. I'm running Vista. I think the voices are about a third of what makes this program, so where does that leave us if they do not work? I consider this a major problem with this program and shouldn't have to do all the back flips and jumping through hoops to get this to work. I have to be honest, it is things like this that have left Hal uninstalled on my system for extended periods of time. Instead of a long list of things that can be done that might get this to work (Turning off my virus protection, installing Hal in it's own directory outside of my programs folder...) How about a patch that actually makes these voices work as intended?

It is not my job as a consumer to bend the laws of reality to make something work as advertised. This thing should be ready to go after any SAPI5 voice is installed.

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Hap Buttons

« on: March 12, 2009, 01:41:21 pm »

Hello again,

I was wondering if there is any way to trigger a hap through a button on a GUI skin? It would be cool to turn hap lights on and off through a button like the standard one's on hal's GUI. If this was possible, which it seems, then I imagine any hap could be designated to a button. That would be a good thing.

P.S. Jack, I hope all is well.

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Lighting plugin and Hal 6.2

« on: March 12, 2009, 12:50:25 pm »

Hi guys,

I was messing with the lighting plugin which looks really cool in the screenshots. Can't seem to get it working. I have everything where it should be but Hal just ends up asking me questions about lighting when I type in one of the lighting commands. Is it a Hal 6.2 thing or am I missing something?

Also on a side note, would it be possible to have a lighting set that is attached to a character or a skin through its UHP?

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Suggestion 4 a plugin

« on: March 12, 2009, 12:43:17 pm »

Hi guys,

Was thinking about a plugin that makes Hal recognize special occasions such as one's birthday or the first day of spring or Arbor Day... It would be cool to hear Hal mention something like Thanksgiving, all on it's own, on that specific day. Does a plugin exist? Should it exist? When it comes to coding, I am like a monkey with a keyboard. That is why I am asking.

Hi guys,

I have lost the main file for the Space Diner skin I made awhile back. Would someone please make a link on savefile so I can redownload the zip file? It was posted on there but got removed from lack of activity and now I can't locate the original. Thanks-Oog

« on: February 06, 2009, 12:02:02 pm »

Hi guys,

Anybody played around with making characters for the new graphics engine? I would like to help but haven't taken a good look at what is needed to achieve this. I have also been holding off on making characters until this latest version came out. I would like to get back into things. Any help would be appreciated. -Oog

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / From Oog 2 JackG

« on: July 11, 2008, 01:11:48 am »

Jack,
I was thinking about stuff and was wondering if I have insulted you by not taking you up on your offer to be lead character artist. Please, let me clarify. If I could, I would. I know what an honor it is that you offer me that. I do not want to take on something that I can't come through with. My health is not so hot and I can't say how long I will be able to continue doing this. Let's just enjoy what we do and not think too much about tomorrow.

 I admire how humble you are about people's admiration. I can tell you that it goes beyond you being a pioneer in the genre. I think you are the King because you are also one hell of a good guy and I can speak from experience that you have always been willing to help. I wish you had a book of techniques for me to study about character creation.

Please know that what you offered me is greatly appreciated and I in no way want to come acrossed as anything but humbled and honored because that is exactly how I feel. Let's collaborate on something. I think it would be fun and cool.

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / A gift to my friends-Auto Character

« on: July 09, 2008, 10:39:29 pm »

Here is the last car character I was able to make before people putty crashed. I hope to find time to position him right and touch him up. I have been kinda busy. Still need to rescale the Vader GUI.
