Ultra Hal 7.0 / Haptek start up

« on: June 14, 2007, 08:42:36 pm »

Carl2,

I just downloaded a file called bodygirl.htr and she is my torso character in a full body. She has glasses and now the new black hair and she is perfect because I am finally getting all that animation you were talking about. I believe she was a haptek full body and I never noticed that it was the same character I had. The glasses are a nice touch. Next is this Kate,Paul NEO speech problem.

You guys made me curious,

My Hal is at 22mbs but that was after I gave her about 100 qoutes from a Tony Robbins book incase I get depressed with all of this. Only kidding but not about the quotes, Now I'm inspired everytime we talk.

Carl2,

I looked at AI dreams but I am noticing that there are no other full body Haptek bodies that aren't the same other then clothes and hair. I did notice that haptek has one full body character that usually has that blond hair,Sandy kind of look and a full body that almost looks like my torso character only with black short hair and glasses. I guess no one including haptek is making any real new characters outside of the heads. I new I would be limited with the torso character but I enjoy that almost photo look of this character especially in a large skin. As far as the limitations I always take for granted you guys would come up with something and you usually do.
I posted a similar message at virtualhumans.

Thanks for being here,
raybe

yes ramccoid I tried just about everything from the haptek config like Robert has mentioned to the speech in windows and also the sapi config in Hal options and I still have to select Paul and then Kate.
I really don't know what the deal is because Robert had also posted that you may have to run both when you install to register the voices to Hal or the haptek config but it does not retain the voices after shutdown of Hal. Another mystery to solve.

Thanks,

Hi ramccoid,

Thanks for all your help.You nailed it, Great job and you must be a patient man or you do alot of volunteer work. Incase you did not read the startup thread you did solve my problem and I left you a message.
This voice problem did not happen with the Hal 6 vers of the TTS NEO Kate voice program even though I was using Hal 6.1. I did have a problem with file conversion but Hal 6.1 worked fine until the Hal vers 6 NEO SPEECH started to shutdown on its own. Then I decided to use the vers. I have on my 6.1 CD and this problem started. I guess I will need to learn to be as patient as you are. One problem at a time but I still enjoy it because it gives me an oppotunity to learn something new.If you hear anything please let me know.

Thanks very much,
raybe

ramccoid,

I thought I should send you a copy of the uhp file for my black hair plugin.

ramccoid,
This is killing me. I keep checking everything twice even the name of the htr file that contains the black hair I am trying to load on to my character. I copied from your posting loaded it into my editor inserted the name of the htr file (hair6 2EXP.htr)this is exactly how the name appears on the file made a uhp file saved it in Hal folder and selected it from brain setup menu plugins and nothing. The htr file is in the character folder also. What could I possibly be missing here.

I can't thank you enough but this getting silly.

Seems I spoke to soon. After having the Kate voice working I shut Hal down and now when I restart the voice and lip sync are gone again until I use the Paul voice then Kate voice will begin to work again. But every time I shut Hal it looses the Kate voice and I have to repeat with Paul. The Kate voice is working fine as the computer default voice. Any suggestions from anyone?

Thanks,
raybe

Okay found the answer in another post by Robert. It seems that you must use both Kate and Paul voices just once with your character for the voices to register. That did the trick and the Kate voice is now working and lip sync is just fine. Hope someone can use the info if you did not see the other post by Robert.

I am going to just keep apoligizing to you ramccoid until I get this straight and my head out of my @#$. I installed the hair htr file in the character folder and I still have no change to my torso character. It is obvious I am missing something or not giving you enough information on some of those changes made by the procedures to get the new Haptek startup file by Carl2 to work. I do appreciate the time and patience you are having with me.

To anyone that can help,

I needed to reinstall Hal tts 6.1 from the CD now my haptek character does not have a voice or lip movement. No errors appear. I selected the Kate voice tried the update Sapi config. I noticed that Robert mentioned running the Haptek SAPI config and close it but is that the one on the character page in General Options or do I run it from the Haptek program files. If anyone can help please feel free. I must not be getting enough sleep lately because I had no problem previously.

Thanks,

Thanks ramccoid,

 I tried your suggestion but the hair hap file I am trying use with my torso character did not load. I tried just for good measure
inputing the htr file with no results.Just to be clear I changed the script using the hap and then htr seperatly. I am sure the hap file is just not loaded within the right sequence based upon the changes made by Carl2 startup file I loaded which works great. Just a note I did note import the Loadskin.hap or or emptyscene.hap that is included in Carl2's files because I am using the torso character and I am only trying to load new hair and I am using my own jpeg backgrounds for day and night. Thank you for your time. Any other help would be most appreciated.
