Androia from desktopmates

[Testlund]

I'm wondering if anybody has the Androia character from desktopmates with the Hal program. The only character downloadable for free is the Brandy character. I tried that one but when I installed it was only 1 file with an extension that doesn't match any of the file extensions in the Hal folders. I don't know how you get desktopmate characters to work with Hal. Did a lot of searching on the web and these forums but couldn't find anything. I whould like to have an android like character for Hal. Is there any free out there? []

You need to have the MS Agent program installed on your PC to run MS Agents. I think you can get it at DesktopMates (it's a free download). When it's installed, you'll have a Characters folder in your MS Agent folder where .acs files go. Hal will then make a .uhp file for every .acs file you have, and any agents you have will be usable with Hal.
I have both Androia and Anndroia. Also check here http://www.bobsftp.com/ for any agents you're looking for. You'll probably get a 502 Busy Server message a lot, but there are hundreds of free agent downloads, including some DesktopMates, when you get through.

I did the following:

Installed Cyberbuddy.

Installed Brandy

Started Hal.

Couldn't find Brandy in the character list.

It doesn't sound likely that the Hal program will just get the .acs file into a .uhp file just like that. tried to make a copy of the Brandy.acs file, put it in the Hal folder and changed the extension to Brandy.uhp wich only generated an error when I started Hal. The Brandy file is just one file! Is that really enough?

The link you provided doesn't work.

Nevermind. I found out I had to install Brandy in the default c:windows bla-bla chars folder for it to work. Now I just hope somebody out there can give me a link to some free android looking characters! That whould be great! Hehe.

As I said, it's a site with downloads for hundreds of free agent characters. Most of the time you will get the busy server error message, because, well, most of the time the server is busy. If you keep your patience till you get in, there are hundreds of free downloads, including several robot or android characters. They're only listed by name, so go somewhere like here http://home.earthlink.net/~cook7777/ to window shop while you're waiting  get into Bob Norris' site.  (Clue: if Bob's site is busy, wait a couple of minutes and try again. Don't just hit refresh over and over, that just makes it worse.)
By the way, if you installed Cyberbuddy, it's worthwhile to go to the Cyberbuddy chatroom and meet Cyber the Bot, one of the best ai on the net. You may want to go to http://cyberthebot.com/ to get his character and read up on how to chat with him.
More about downloads. http://www.agentry.net/ has quite a few, though the site is not as good as when it was run by Microsoft.
