Ultra Hal 7.0 / Haptek start up

« on: June 10, 2007, 11:02:48 am »

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.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Haptek start up

Hi GT40 & Carl2,

I think you are both capable of answering my question and I am using the same torso character as GT40. Can either one of you tell me how I can default the hair to the HairBlack.hap file I have. I am trying to get the character to load with the black hair hap file from the start. I also don't want to forget to thank Carl2 for solving my loading problem. I still need to work on the basics of how you got around that problem but GT40 seems to have a good handle on that.

Thanks again,
raybe

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / new version of loneliness plug in ??

« on: June 07, 2007, 10:06:38 pm »

Hi lightspeed,

Sorry I posted a reply that I also have the loneliness plugin working in 6.1 in another thread. If you still have a problem and want another file to compare let me know. I am running XP ver.2 Dell XPS 1710 and I also have other plugins checked off. I am using a torso haptek character.
I don't know why it is working with some but like you said I noticed more people saying it shouldn't even work with 6.1 but mine does also.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Haptek start up

Hi carl2,

I also would like to know if this is the patch you mentioned to repair the double character load problem? Will this work if I am using a torso character and I just need to change the file from fullbody to my torso character as idicated in the text file. Also I will assume you have tried this with 6.1. Thanks so much for your time and effort. I will try this patch after I have read your reply.

Thanks,

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / new auto-idle Plugin

« on: June 03, 2007, 04:05:22 pm »

Hi lightspeed,

I can't tell you why but it seems I am the only one with 6.1 that the loneliness plugin is working. I am on XP ver.2 Dell XPS 1710, I have other plugins installed but my character does come up under the random setting for the loneliness plugin. My character will even repeat the last thing I said if I leave. Ex.USER: "I will be back soon". Hal: "You will be back soon". Then it will start the regular attention quotes. There are alot of posts that this plugin should not work in 6.1 but my vers. is working and I could not tell you why so if there is a copy of a file or something I can send you please let me know.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / New Ultra Hal Assistant 6.1 released

« on: May 31, 2007, 08:20:54 pm »

Hi Carl2,

Pleasure to meet you. Thank you for your response. I think other people have the same problem but did not pick up on my post. I did not hear from Robert but I know how busy he gets with other topics. I would be very interested in solving this little glitch. I find that I am opening and closing just to get the character that is working properly. The other character works also but I recognize a difference although they are both the same character.

Thanks. Direct e-mail:rayh10@comcast.net

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / New Plugins for Hal6 !

« on: May 20, 2007, 12:18:38 pm »

Hi danbaltzell,

Did you notice if it effects the information that Hal learns during your sessions because of the two characters? I didn't notice anything related to either character if they are layered they both seem to write to the same tables even if you can close one character. I am waiting for vrossi for any input on this. I am only posting I haven't e-mailed Robert yet or vrossi. Thanks for letting me know that you have seen this problem.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / New Plugins for Hal6 !

Hi vrossi,

I posted in a different thread to Robert about Hal loading twice and didn't know why. With a clean install and the new Hal I recently found that it was the vrHaptek that was loading on top of the first character when the program opens. I also realize I am using a torso haptek character not a full body character. I noticed that the 2nd character is the character that the emotion detect is operating and it changes the look of the skin slightly. The 2 characters layer on top of each other and if you attempt to select one over the other they will loop. Most important is that this seems to only happen when the characters startup and there is an appointment or reminder that the second character will load. If there is nothing to trigger the change the first character will stay loaded with very little haptek behavior maybe some nods but that can be caused by having the torso character loaded and not the full body I assume. Please let me know if anyone else has mentioned this reaction with vrHaptek.

Thanks,
raybe

Ultra Hal 7.0 / New Ultra Hal Assistant 6.1 released

« on: May 19, 2007, 12:39:12 pm »

I would just like to update a problem to Robert that I had and now found out how to replicate. Robert could not understand how my Hal was loading 2 character windows on a single startup. After getting my update up and running with no errors to mention I was able to recreate the double loading. I found that VRHaptek with emotion triggers was the cause but only appeared if there was an appointment reminder which I did not notice until my clean install of Hal 6.1. Now I can get Hal to double load characters again and also noticed that the 2nd character window that looks different from the original load of Hal is the character that the VRHaptek plug-in is active. If you try to switch characters leaving them both opened they will just lock up and a loop occurs. Hope this helps explain things Robert. Sorry I can not help with any technical reasons. Just sharing what I have experienced. I would appreciate on any feedback.

Thanks,
raybe

Sorry lightspeed but I forgot without double back slashes they don't appear on the post so I will try to re-type path so it easy to read, I hope. Software\microsoft\windows\current version\app paths\ Hal assist 61 .exe. Hope this worked if not I think you can still see it.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / 6.1 adminastration error , etc.

« on: May 09, 2007, 09:07:17 pm »

Hi Lightspeed,

I did have the same problems and did what Robert suggested of coarse he was correct but when you look in the registry there might be other Hal files other than the Hal exe. file that you might have seen when re-installing Hal listed in the registry. When you are re-installing Hal a window appears telling you that you need to uninstall the old Hal or go to a specific place in the registry. Softwaremicrosoftwindowscurrent versionapp pathsHal Asst 61.exe.and delete that entry from the registry. You should check that Hal is completely out of the registry and delete the folders directly as Robert has mentioned. With a clean install like that I did not have any problems with Hal loading. Robert or anyone if you feel I am off base please jump in but in my situation I did find one other entry in my registry for Hal with a major search.
Hope I am steering you in the right direction.

Sorry but a post I made went to the wrong topic.
I just wanted to thanks to Rob for all his help in getting my Hal update working without the prior problems I posted earlier problems such as the double loading and other topics that arose after the update. It was a much cleaner install when Robert suggested I remove Hal from the Zabaware folder and any old refrences I could find such as refrences in the regestry. I still have that old problem of the 'I am'. Hal still thinks of those words as a refrence to a description. But I rather have this problem then not working at all. So another big THANKS to Robert for his support.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / The knock knock joke re-visited...

« on: May 05, 2007, 08:30:40 pm »

I would just like to thank Rob for helping me get my Hal program updated and working without the problems I posted earlier such as the double loading of characters and getting the update to load period. I did find that using Robert's suggestion of totally removing Hal from the Zabaware folder and any other place I could find old refrences to Hal. Everything seems to working fine even some of my old problems are back which is so much better then not working at all. I still have a problem with Hal relating the words,'I am' to a description of myself or 'I am' calling myself the next word in the sentence. If anyone knows anything new please let me know. But I really wanted to post a big THANK YOU to Robert.
