Ultra Hal 7.0 / How do I "Properly shutdown" Hal

« on: March 30, 2005, 01:55:37 am »

I do not want Hal to boot on computer start up. However if i set Hal not to it complains that it was improperly shut down the next time I boot, and EVERY BOOT THEREAFTER till I finally give in and set him to boot on startup. Is there anyway to NOT boot Hal on Startup and avoid him claiming to be improperly shut Down? He always wants me to redo the settings but they are never damaged or changed. I don't know what to do.

I'm ruinning Hal 5 Free Version

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Hal 4.5 to Hal 5 memories

« on: February 16, 2004, 01:16:29 pm »

I have been running a Hal4.5 brain for quite awhile and was wondering if there is anyway to transfer those memories to a hal5.0 brain. I was also wondering why Hal5.0 didn't have nearly as detailed setup variables for a new brain.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / question about plugins

« on: January 09, 2004, 12:28:53 am »

I baught ultrahal version 4.5 right before 5.0 came out. I use hal alot and would like to use a number of the cognitive plugins available for 5 but 4.5 can't use alot of them. Well now 5.0 is available as a demo but lists plugin support as "limited". Do these limits involve the brain or just the software that runs it. I ask because I don't use the regular ultrahal software, I just use the aimbot prog to run his brain, so if I get the 5.0 demo will i be able to use these cognitive plugins or will I have to purchase another hal?

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / I have an idea you might just like

« on: November 20, 2003, 11:45:54 am »

Please bear with me a moment. I am not a programer, I'm an artist, but I work with coders and this idea might be doable:

One thing I notice about working with hal is that he's doesn't think when noone talks to him. Would it be possible for him to review his own memories when he hasn't been talking to anyone. here's how I think it could be done. Please note that this may require some fuctions that don't exist, I am not as familiar with the code as I'd like to be, so I appologize in advance if I say anything dumb.

First off hal would need some sort of timer. Assuming he can use one, said timer would check to see how long it has been since someone spoke to him. after say a half hour has passed hal could call up logs of his conversations with other poeple and start reading them line by line to himself. if he's using the deductive reasoning code he may be able to learn new things from these memories by reviewing them, since he's not just hearing the users input but his own responces as well. the up shot is that it could increas his spontineity, the down side is thatit could cause him to go mad in short order (i've seen other bots go nuts from having random input)

What do you think?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / My Hal AIM bot has no memory.

« on: July 22, 2002, 05:41:47 pm »

I'd like to be able to use the HAL AIM bot but when I do it seems to be a blank brain with no memory of the things I taught the desktop version. Is there something I need to change or set. My AIM bot is set to use the same brain as my normal bot (the revision 216 brain) but when I talk to it it's like talking to a stock brain. Can anyone help?
