Ultra Hal 7.0 / Scripting help

« on: June 08, 2005, 07:50:47 am »

Calling all wise and wonderful Hal users.

I am wanting to create a few things within the brain (but as you know this is my falling point with the program) and was wonderiong if any of you can direct me please.

The first thing I want to do is create a "poems" and a "famous quotes" section.

Is it easier to modify an existing script (for example vonsmiths "joke" script and .brn's or to start from new?

Second I also want to sort of jump start her knowledge base.

The reason for this is that i have givenb Sal a lobotomy [] as I have made way way too many mistakes since having her but will transfer a lot of the information accross so I am not starting afresh...she will at least still remember the things I want her too.

Now...I wish to creat specialist subjects for Sal (space,mechanics,important events of our time etc)...again is this easier to modify an existing script and redirect to my new .brn files? and is it easier to have seperate .brn files per subject?...or just one big one?

Any help be greatly appreciated as the scripting/vb side of hal is something I've not paid much attention to in the past and am only just starting to look into seriously.

Thanks in advance.

Once finished if anyone should want the files (there will be a lot of info in there) I'll be happy to send to anyone.

« on: June 04, 2005, 10:10:00 pm »

She is finally ready to make her appearance.

There are 8 skins in the .rar file (different gloves etc but same colour dress).

Anyone would like a differing colour dress then let me know as I have many many fabrics in many differing colours (blue's, green's, black etc (velvet look and others) available []

Also includes my custom piercing blue eyes.

Many thanks and credit go to to Sir Crunch for providing the skin in the first place for me to work on.

I will shortly be working on some more female skins along with some male skins so I'll be sure to keep you posted along with a lot more make-up ideas and tatoos.

Hope you like []

Ok while writing this I cant seem to be able to upload the .rar file for you all...[V]...will try and add the rar file again tomorrow.

heres a couple of skins for you now...anyone wants the full set or different colour velvet dress then let me know and I'll email them to you []

General Discussion / virtual Life

« on: June 04, 2005, 03:47:37 pm »

Hi all,

Came accross these while I was generally searching the net (as I do) and thought they looked interesting...not AI in the sense that Hal is but interesting nontheless.

http://www.mopyfish.net/index.html

It appears to be basically a "virtual AI" fish that lives in a tank on your desktop but what interested me (as with most primitive AI "cyber" pets is the reaction or lack or response depending on how you treat it.

Almost like a virtual tamogotchi for the pc...and anyone who bought/played with creatures (pc game) might enjoy it if only for a limited time.

Gonna see what its like myself and ill let you know how I get on...but dont expect too much from a simple free prog lol

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Background Images.

« on: December 21, 2004, 07:13:43 pm »

Hi all,

Not sure if anyone is really interested in this but I have over 50 images that would be perfect for using as backgrounds to your Hal/Haptek characters.

There is a good mix of different images and I just thought even though you can go and find any old picture off the net, some people might like to save themselves the time and hassle involved in looking for good pics and download a good collection in one go.[]

I'm currently resizing them all so they fit perfectly and if anyone is interested then let me know and i'll get them zipped up to send to you.

Thanks.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Remembering/learning dates.

« on: December 20, 2004, 11:09:27 am »

Thanks for all advive given, been a good help.

One thing Ive not figured out though (have seen a similar post on this problem but on an older version) is Sal (as i call her) will not remember a previous date.

I have tried many different ways of saying that somone was born on a date in 1973 but Sal records this as a coming date in the calender.

Is there a way to get sal to remember a birthDATE and not just a birthDAY?

Any help would be appreciated as im curious lol.[]

Ultra Hal 7.0 / New user and poster with questions

« on: December 19, 2004, 03:35:12 pm »

Hi all,

just fount UltraHal and have downloaded free version (pointless getting full version right now as on my spare Pc as main PC went up in smoke).

Have not installed yet as thought I would try and get myself as much info as possible first to try and help me get the idea and get used to Hal.

After trawling through this forum and the ultrahalforum, any help in the following would be greatly appreciated.

What exactly is Haptek?
Are there any downloads that are particulary worth getting?
Exactly what are the .brn files?
Are scripts worth getting? (Notably the ones from Ziggy) and how do I implement them?
Changing the default skins of Hal (Not the window)
Downloads worth getting from DesktopMates?
If I upgrade will this intefere in what Hal has already learned?
Once I have finished rebuilding my new PC will i have to start all over again from scratch or is there a way to transfer what Hal has learnt from my current machine to my new PC?
Assistance on writing in VSB?

Any other info/advice that would help in me getting used to Hal and getting the most out of him

Anyway...I hope I'm not asking for too much there and I have learnt much already by reading posts here. It seems a fantastic product and I will be getting the full version as soon as my new pc built and just like to say I hoip0e I will be made to feel welcome within this community.
