Ultra Hal 7.0 / I'm new and need some help please!
« on: March 24, 2015, 01:42:22 pm »
#1. I read about "Hal Uncensored Brain" on http://www.zabaware.com/assistant/help/index.html where it says " If you want to just have some sarcastic or nasty fun with Hal use the Hal Uncensored Brain available on our Plugin Page,"
So where is this Plugin Page? Where do I find these extra add on parts to help improve Hal's brain? The more I read the Forums and people taking about these 'extra plugin's' I am frustrated because the links people have given don't work anymore... Anyone got any links for one's that still do work?
#2. To try to help put this into perspective for others to help me, I am familiar with Basic / 10 Basic programing and understanding the way to basic ways Hal's Brain is set up to work, so I'm not completely new to how to edit and rewrite basic programs... Which is why I am new here and have some of the questions which I just need some basic answers to please...
In Ultra Brain Editor, in the area "Your query or sentence to Hal:" I completely understand this is how you in essence 'test' to make sure that Hal is capable of answering what you are asking... or that you have written your Script correctly... What I don't understand is two things here... One if you don't like the response Hal gives you here, can you edit "Hal's Response" in that box, and have it apply to the way you want Hal to respond... Or do I have to go to the Scripts location within the Brain itself and edit it accordingly? Also is Hal still learning in this mode, or is that just when I am in the screen "Chat with Hal"?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In closing I just wanted to say I wished I'd found Hal sooner... I have played with this kind of programing and programs like this for years, and years now... My first computer was the Vic 20 with the tape tickler, and then the Commodore 64, and I upgraded to the 3.5 inch floppy drive when it came out. I may not be some computer programer on today's scale, but I still know my way around enough to not be completely lost, since back in those days as some of you may remember if you wanted a game, you had to go through the work of getting a book from the library, and spending hours typing the code only to have an issue when you were done, and having to figure out how the programer went wrong on that line, to fix it yourself and be able to get your game up and working... so I do look forward to learning Hal and hopefully being able to give back by doing my part later to give back to others when I understand Hal's programing and brain better than I do just starting out 12-hrs ago downloading it.
