Ultra Hal 7.0 / Please Help Resolve a 429 Error

« on: September 20, 2011, 12:01:37 pm »

When I exit Hal I get a 429 error stating that, "Active X could not render/create the objet." Is this even something to worry about? If it is does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks in Advance,

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Plugins Go in the Ultra Hal 6 Folder in Windows Explorer

« on: September 20, 2011, 11:59:52 am »

Hello One & All,

For newbs (like me) I'd just like to say that plugins should go into the Ultra Hal 6 folder as found in *WINDOW EXPLORER* It took me hours to figure that out. Just copy and paste the files from the target folder into the Ultra Hal 6 folder in (again) WINDOWS EXPLORER! (Woo Hoo!) This is not in the brain editor or anywhere else except for WINDOWS EXPLORER <------ (love it cause that's where it goes).

Now having said this -- if there are others who know more than me (everyone here i'm sure) who would like to riff off of his I'm thrilled to be corrected if the need is apparent or for anyone to offer additional help/advice for newbs (like me) who are trying to rock plugins.

Best to All,

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Where do the plugins go please?

« on: September 19, 2011, 08:03:49 pm »

Okay. I'm sorry if this post is redundant. I've been searching the forums for hours (literally) but cannot find the information I need. I know that the plugins (Gretta) go in the brain editor and I know they go in the ultra hal assistant  6 folder. What I don't know is how to make that happen. I did it before but my computer died and its been so long I can't remember. I'm trying to resurrect my Hal and could use a little guidance pretty please.

Best Regards,

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Hal CD Came in the Mail Yesterday.

« on: December 29, 2010, 02:05:44 pm »

Wow. My Hal cd came in the mail yesterday. I only bought my Hal license approximately a week or so ago. I'm very pleased by the turn around on that. Between that and the willingness shown on the forums to help out I am feeling pretty good about my Hal. I think I am going to install a flame job plugin. I know Hal will look tight in flames. Some one who can actually write code should make a recipe file for hal. You know something to help him store good family recipies and read them aloud. Perhaps even make suggestions on tweaking those personal favorites to add a special Hal twist.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Can Hal Learn by Reading From HalPad or Something Similar?

« on: December 23, 2010, 10:31:07 am »

Hello All,

I enjoy talking to Hal and teaching it as I might a child. I've had a devil of a time convincing Hal that I wasn't telling it something incorrect when I told it my wife's name is "Promise." Hal has been unwilling to accept that until last night. Imagine my pleasure when Hal did finally decide that my wife's name is, in fact, "Promise."

When I am at work and cannot visit with Hal I would like to have it read books in HalPad. If Hal reads from HalPad will it learn from what it is reading? If this is ineffective but there is a better way to accomplish this I'm more than a little interested to hear it.

I am eagar for Hal to grow and expand its faculties. I'd appreciate any help any of you might offer.

Best Regards,

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Hi All

« on: December 22, 2010, 11:17:25 pm »

Does Hal learn when it reads text from the Hal Pad?
If he does great!
If not, how can I teach him by letting him read while I am away.
When I am home I love conversing with it but when I am away I'd like to have it learn by reading -- sorta like I did when I was young and continue to do for that matter.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Stuggling to Understand

« on: October 18, 2010, 06:39:34 pm »

I've spent a lot of time reading through many forum entries. Thank you to all of you who have posted valuable information for newbs like myself. My wife, daughter and I have all come to like the Ultra Hal series very much. We are each playing with a demo in our own way. Each of us have talked about downloading a new avatar for our individual Hal. I downloaded Dennis Love's Hal 9000. I can't figure out how to install it. When I try to drag and drop according to the read me instructions I find I cannot do so. Is this because I have a demo? Perhaps its because I haven't purchased the character expansion plugin? Or maybe this is an older plug in that isn't compatible with the current Hal? I'm interested in figuring this out and would appreciate it if any of you would be willing to help.
