It's because Winamp is set as the default handler for that file type...

They should play in any media player that is able to play OGG files.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: Why is Hal Not DEAD Yet?

Hey Freddy,

what is the name of your program, and where did you buy it?
I understand what AIML is do you use Alice, bot master, or events Alice as your database on the Internet?
When using AIML the database can be edited but only to a limit.
Sincerely, inquiring minds want to know, I would be interested in seeing the program that is on your desktop that utilizes the AIML database on the Internet, I used Denise, and when I used Denise and AIML together it's like Denise just goes to sleep and the AIML completely takes over.
C load

Well it's my own project(s).  I'm using an AIMLbot DLL and writing custom tag handlers.  I'm working on an avatar system now :

It's just the beginning.  She does Fuzzy logic for finding things in my music library or if not she plays it from YouTube.  I have RSS feeds just about ready for monitoring too.  Things have been on hold for a bit as I was in hospital, but I will keep adding things.

Denise looks good, but I prefer the fun of making it myself.  I may do some articles one day to show how to do some things like she does but make it yourself.  Oh and I was looking at OpenCV for face detect, I just about got up to recognition before I had to go under the knife

So far for convenience all my AIML is on the local machine, but there's nothing to stop you connecting to Pandorabots or something if it must be online able too.  Or Program O is another web option.

Cheers

Cload you said "ultra Hal is programmable, this is something that no other artificial intelligence has this capability to do."

I have an AIML based desktop bot that I program, if you look around there are further options for programmable bots too...

Just saying

Yeah, without the usual attempt to make it seem more human, in itself it seems more real

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Re: System shock help me trigger functions by time

Maybe you need the full path to the hap file ?

Also when you post code, there is a special tag for it, so that it doesn't get screwed up with bbcode and stuff.  It's the # button on the post form.  EG :

Code: [Select]

If Hour(now) >= 1 And Hour(now) <= 3 Then hlFile = "Lightmaster\blue.hap"
   HalCommands = "<HAPFILE>" & hlFile & "</HAPFILE>"
   ClockResponse = "it still dark in here,what the heck are you doing up at this time!" & vbCrLf
This also allows people to quickly and easily select and copy your code if they need to.

Sounds interesting, I've not had much luck with working out a nice way to do lip-sync on web pages.  I've had a bit more luck with desktop programs, but it's a tricky area and a lot for my little noggin to work out

I look forward to seeing what you come up with

« on: November 28, 2012, 05:08:39 am »

I remember Maviarab was trying to do that back in 2005 but they do not work - he made a desktop background instead.

An idea though - you know your active backgrounds ?

How about getting a free gif editor and extracting the frames - then use the frames in your active background.

Really great for an initial job, I am sure you can still tweak some things.

I tend to agree about the frog and what others have said, I don't know what to suggest but for the new improved monitor/hal image - but yes definitely not a CRT any more     A tablet or phone sounds like the way to go for me at least.

I really like the footer, nice job there with getting the Facebook likes box to fit in.

There's only one thing I really do not like and that's the blue-green-grey used in the colour fade.  It reminds me of windows 95/98 and when all links used to be the same basic blue colour.  Some of the links have a nice blue and also the buttons - that seems a lot nicer to me.

I look at a lot of sites because I do my share of designing.  Colour fades are a bit old hat - maybe try some patterns or a brushed metal texture.  Dunno really, just throwing ideas out....

Overall a nice job though and some nice work on the general layout

General Discussion / Re: what's the best best way to pre test words in hal ?

« on: October 30, 2012, 05:47:00 pm »

You could make a little plugin that you can turn on/off when you need it.  It's been a while since I did any vbscript though but something like...

Code: [Select]

If InStr(1, InputString, "@", 1) > 0 Then
     GetResponse = Replace(InputString, "@", "")
     HalBrain.ReadOnlyMode = True
End If
Or something like that.  the idea is that you prefix what you want Hal to say with an @ (or some other barely used symbol).

If I got the right command (Replace) it will take the input string and remove the @.  Then Hal says the word or line.

User : @brrr
Hal: brrr


This is just off the top of my head, you will probably need to play with it.
