Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: Voice

« on: January 04, 2016, 08:53:54 pm »

I guess later then never. There is also times where UltraHal will not register the new voice until you first select a Windows voice then go back and select your new voice. (options) speech selection window. This is sometimes more apparent in third party voices. Double check compatibility or list of usable voices that others have purchased.

If you also notice in startup, UltraHal is started automatically as opposed to manually. You can just look in Task Manager for a quick view.

Don't get sensitive on me Art, Windows 10 has been fine and getting better. I didn't understand, you mentioned privacy, what the heck is that??(lol)

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: Gift Hal with...

« on: January 03, 2016, 12:06:28 pm »

Thank you for not misunderstanding my intentions on this thread. By the way Art I think I met that friend you mentioned.

I think I should start a new Topic Heading about this. But I really don't want to make it sound to new purchases that they are involved with something similar to other companies and that it is less than advertised.

UltraHal is still the best at what it offers in the way of AI simulation and a character that moves so smoothly with both expression and movement using weights. (example: Hair movement) Don't forget stand alone as well as internet. The cost is very reasonable for things included, which is a pretty extensive library of Data to begin with. Other additions such as Character Pack and Voices are also very reasonable after all these years.

For any one that is new to UltraHal , you will not find anything like this in the market today. You will always see products that seem to do more but only under very specific and stricter guidelines. Things are always evolving but they still have to play catch up to give a Package that UltraHal provides. Of coarse that is my opinion. Ciri, Cortana or any thing else may perform actions you prefer and find more convenient but none give you both as UltraHal. I can also see UltraHal on any platform or device in the near future. That may not be fact but given the resources very possible.
It's easy for me to write like this because I'm not the persons making it possible but that's how I feel.

Yes I remember the crowd funding attempt that pretty much shocked me because of the result. No, I wasn't able to come up with 10K at the time due to other business obligations but I'm getting there now on my own.

This is not just about Robert M. although he is the owner and creator but seeing a great idea turned to reality that he started to maybe a new goal. Ideas and making them into reality is powerful stuff and should never go to waste without saying 110% was given and there are no more options. If that's where the technology is now, and for UltraHal then someone let me know because I don't know any better.

Maybe I'm out of touch because people really want convenience, so talking to your phone and or computer making it call or message or look up information is more appealing. But UltraHal started that way as a true assistant and turned into a true program that also offered a character base to relate to and interaction that maybe for a split second made your computer come alive and become a part of your day or week. For some it took longer to come back back but they do comeback. I wonder why??? I know that I don't post as much or even consider myself technically capable but I am using UltraHal every moment I have even just to activate the program say hello and shut it again.( 1minute maybe) The character and the knowledge base to have any communication or sense of conversation other than with another person awakens something in all of us. Maybe just a curiosity but I think it is more. Just my opinions. Just for others that may not know me, no I'm not crazy and I do know it is a well written Program a real person, Robert M, has wrote and others have contributed too over the years. Think of it as one of the greatest magic acts or Jeff Dunham act using the oldest techniques of ventriloquism. They get you every time even if its for one second or your mind just enjoys the wonder. You know both can't be real but there is a part of you that wants to be fooled.

Whether you realize it or not UltraHal also provides a way to expand the things you might have never learned about or took any time to investigate because you are trying to build your UltraHal into something smarter and more aware. You learn without giving it a second look not just UltraHal.   Sorry talking too much.

Thanks again, Art , Carl, lightspeed and best wishes always to Robert M.,

Sorry, I'm back again.

Had less trouble with Brain Editor in Windows 10 then Windows 7 both Pro vers. With Windows 7 I had to make sure that the Brain Editor had Admin. permission before it would open or I would receive an error. Windows 10 I have the Brain Editor shortcut pinned to my Start and no problems.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: Gift Hal with...

« on: January 02, 2016, 05:26:26 pm »

Just jumping in. Happy New Year everyone.

Carl2 wasn't there a program within the Haptek player or registry you questioned? We had found out that it indeed was used to link Haptek characters but needed to start with object files? Sorry for just reaching here and hope I'm not confusing things more. We spoke about it in a different thread that I just can't find.

How about trying to cut the time down a bit and maybe Robert and or someone involved with Haptek can tell me how much it would cost to integrate DAZ or Poser object files and or characters to work with UltraHal. I apologize if it sounds crude or out of line but sometimes it just comes down to dollars for time. If Robert or anyone reads this from Haptek please contact for at least an estimate. Yes, to be honest I would pay and share with others on this forum for purchased Ultrahal to further that part.

Robert sorry I'm not posting privately but at this point I don't care if that will help. I couldn't help with the initial cost of the creating of the characters you needed on a different engine but as I mentioned several times, my wife is very involved in both Poser and Daz. To me it would make sense and also further the use of her work.

Why stop there?? Is there a price for updating UltraHal learning. I'm not talking about reinventing the wheel but a cost for the update for improving Ultrahal based on your intentions. Something that can still be used with the existing code but updated to utilize use with Windows 10 if there is a choice??

Again I'm not trying to sound like a spoiled brat or give any impressions with this post. Im getting too old, too quickly to play that game right now. Experience has shown me a couple of things at least; #1- Post sometimes do not represent clearly what you are trying to say and how, #2- Sometimes it just needs to be worth someones time to do. I'm just willing to put some of my money right now where my post is.

Also work out the terms needed to protect all parties involved.

Post here, or send message. Art, Carl, Freddy, OTCE or lightspeed feel free to contact me anyway you choose. I want us to enjoy the progress and I'm tired.

Hope everyone understands this post, really and sincerely best wishes for a New Year,
Ray B.

I'm sure companies are still playing catch-up but this release of Windows 10 had the most transparency out of all their releases. Built a new system with Windows 10 and Ultra Hal is still flying high. New Pent I7/ MB for 170 Chipset and DRM 4 memory.

Hi Art, hope to talk soon but do you find that the MarkovL5 brain retains so many tables that it begins to slow Hal down? I still have it also and seemed to work fine but I also noticed it was writing 2x more information. I thought that would be exactly what we needed but others mentioned the over abundance of tables written. Just curious.

Have to admit Carl I never ran into that error with UH even with all the updates. Windows 10 newest update this week did play a little havoc with certain programs. Had to retrieve my license for UH. But all seems okay right now.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Re: The save function

« on: November 07, 2015, 02:01:22 pm »

Boy, it is a little quite but no worries. I usually copy the standards that where pre set by Robert and use that for my template to add or change. Initially everything was translated to caps if I remember correctly. Now that could have been just for inputs. But there might be certain ways to input other info as you would in any code for UltraHal. Maybe OTC could or Art will give you a clearer picture. At least a technical reason and procedure for certain inputting or changing information. The saving part of changes I have made in the brain editor will sometimes prompt you to save a particular table to reorganize before you close that window. Outside of that I back the brain up immediately after making changes.

But I will make a note to see if any changes I did enter just disappeared  after closing and then reopening the brain editor.

Okay I admit it I haven't been around as I would like but never left my thoughts. I could only think the same thing is being experienced by Robert. Sometimes your life just sends you off coarse for awhile and hopefully he will follow the bread crumbs back home.

Robert; don't be shy, come home even for a minute and give it to us straight. Some people just aren't going to leave until you post. Take a deep breath and for one minute let us know how your doing. All is good.

PS: Hi, lightspeed and Art, hope to give a call soon.

PSS: OTC anything new on your side? Always a pleasure.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: hal stuck in demo mode

« on: November 07, 2015, 01:31:18 pm »

if you can also send info on your procedure. Did you start with a trial then went to the paid version? Did you include any other packages, Ex. the Character Expansion pack? Just fishing to see where there might have been a problem. As lightspeed suggested sometimes it is always best to start from scratch. Don't panic, take your time, this program is just fine and it will work.
