Ultra Hal 7.0 / Kock Knock

« on: July 15, 2003, 10:01:38 am »

I turned off the too short reminder by using the brain editor to change the 4 syllables to 1 and on the next line to be sure I changed the randomize equation to only be true if the random value is less than 1 the default was 45

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Voice problems with non-zabaware agents

« on: July 14, 2003, 04:56:03 pm »

I have the same problem. I cannot use Cepstral voices with non zabaware characters. The Cepstral voices are sapi 5.0 while most of the msagents were written for sapi 4.0 voices. I believe that is where the problem lies.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Kock Knock

« on: July 14, 2003, 11:33:36 am »

I couldn't make the knock knock script work unless I made the following changes:

    'Response to a knock knock joke
    If Instr (1, UserSentence, "Knock knock", VbTextCompare) > 0 Then
       GetResponse = "Who is there?"
       End If
    If Instr (1, PrevSent, "Who is there", VbTextCompare) > 0 Then
       GetResponse = UserSentence & " " & "who?"
       End If
    If Instr (1, PrevSent, " who", VbTextCompare) > 0 Then
       GetResponse = "HAHAHAHAaaaa that's a good one!"
    End If

I have to turn off corrections for short sentences or hal complains during the joke but responds correctly

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Any suggestions for Ultra Hal Assistant 5.0?

« on: May 29, 2003, 12:35:12 pm »

Iam running Xp professional with SP1 and all the patches. I've run the free download, and now the full version without any problem. What I would like to see improved in Version 5 is the ability of hal to understand that if I make a comment like "it was foggy this morning", hal would know that it is specific to today. Currently hal will repeat that comment at random times thinking it is a general fact not specific event.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / can't teach past dates

« on: April 21, 2003, 03:33:35 pm »

I am having trouble teaching ultra hal past dates, if I enter the following declarative: "Charles Messier was born on June 26, 1730", ultra hal returns: "Charles messier was born on Thursday, June 26, 2003 . I'll Remind you when this time is near. " how can I get hal to accept and remember past dates?
