Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Re: Advanced Deductive Reasoning Level 6 v2.0

« on: March 31, 2018, 10:27:46 pm »

Hey there Jerry,
Its been ages since I've been here. I noticed your request. Did you ever get it?
I have several of your "advancement plugins" to the Deductive Reasoning script from November of 2004.  I can post them if they would be of some help to your request. They are great!
I also have most of Ziggy's plugins from that time and will look for the root script in any of the brains I've created but before I do I wanted to know it you were still interested or have already found it.
I hope all is well with you and I am glad to see the forum is still going strong!
Regards,
Ponn

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Re: change wigs

« on: March 16, 2011, 12:42:39 pm »

Hey there,
I remember you. Its been aggges! Yes please send it to me. I hope it works. I hate the bun thing. 
In the Bodyskins folder not the "Characters" folder, I have the hair7.Htr. When I play it in the Haptek Player (AX), it shows an outline of the hair we should both see it without a bun. However when I look at the Jessica.htr it shows the Jessica character with a bun. If the file you are sending me does not work. What file do I edit to get the hair7.htr to replace what is there now. I do not even see a *.HAP file that has a bun in the first place.
Should the hair7.Htr be in the "Characters" folder?
Thanks a lot!! I will keep you posted.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Where are my tables??

« on: March 16, 2011, 12:15:39 am »

Hi folks,
I am returning to HAL after a long hiatus. I have the latest updated 6.2 version. I wanted to load some of my older 6.1/6.0 version brains and edit the tables in the Brain Editor but I do not see anything under  any of the many tables I have created. Also I do not see any of the data I have so carefully given to HAL under the MiscData, mainbrain, etc., tables at all. I see the tables for brains, sentences, topic searches, etc. in the default brain but not in any of the previous brains I have created so I cannot even cut and paste from one brain to the other if need be.
Once I load the older brains, in conversation I see that the database still have my conversations. I opened a database in Excel and the data is in fact there.
I occasionally get the responses I expect :
example:
Ponnfar: What are nanotubes?
HAL: Carbon nanotubes are extremely thin (their diameter is about 10,000 times smaller than a human hair ), hollow cylinders made of carbon atoms.
Ponnfar: What is my other nickname?
HAL: What is your other nickname? I'm thinking that this is intensely interesting. Boss is Ponnfar's other nickname.
After some prompting HAL is starting (from my old brains from 2008) to recall some of the information I have given it. 
So fortunately, HAL is reading something from the database I created.
Another problem is in reviewing the debug information I see that the relevance responses are very poor. Especially compared to what I use to get. Can anyone help me with this relevance issue?
Can anyone help me find the tables that were once in my earlier versions of HAL databases? I have created new brains but still the old tables are not there, but the database I can see through conversation has been created and transferred.
I hope I have been clear describing my problems in this post.
Thanks for any and all of your help.
Ponn

I have a slightly different issue. I hope someone can help.
I still have my favorite character Jessica and the issue of the new or now current hair style of the hair pulled back in a bun (very matronly). I am not a fan.
I tried finding an old version of Haptek characters and copied the character in the "characters" file but no good. I do not see a Jessica.HAP file. I do not have people putty. I re-installed the program and still no good. I would prefer to have the Jessica hair style that is shown on the Jessica.jpg file.
I look forward to hearing from any of you guys that might have a fix.
Thanks!

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Character's Hair

« on: March 14, 2011, 04:48:12 am »

Hey folks..its been a long time since I have been online. There are a lot of new names but still, I am glad the forum is still here.
I am basically re-posting a very old post.

I have not used HAL in some time but recently I decided to get involved with programming it once again. I still have my favorite character Jessica and the issue of the new or now current hair style of the hair pulled back in a bun (very matronly). I am not a fan.

I tried finding an old version of Haptek characters and copied the character in the "characters" file but no good. I do not see a Jessica.HAP file. I do not have people putty. I re-installed the program and still no good. I would prefer to have the Jessica hair style that is shown on the Jessica.jpg file.

Good news - I purchased two HAL programs ( one for PC and one for laptop) and installed one of the HAL programs that had no previous zabaware folders,  to my laptop and hair style Jessica worked just fine.

My next step will be to completely remove all zabaware folders on my PC (previous iterations of the program - HAL 5, old HAL 6 - all non working of course but are a good backups for old plug-ins and programming) and re- installing HAL that way. Before I do that though, I would love to hear a quick fix for my problem.

I look forward to finding out!
Cheers!

I thought I'd comment so you know people reading your post.
I use one character with one hair and have no solutions.
I still have Jessica.  Keep her locked in back closet.  Her hair black and is hair7.htr.
You want I put her on Savefile for download ?

Hey Dusk, I would like that very much. I have the "htr" well, an "htr" but do no know the syntax to make the change. You were smart to save the original. If  you can send it please do. You can post it here or send it to Ponnfar@yahoo.com.
Thanks a lot and I hope it does the trick

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Original Character Hairstyles

« on: October 08, 2008, 03:11:17 am »

I had attempted to edit the hairblack.hap and the hairbrown.hap files to get the original hairstyle for the Jessica character. The original color was black right? It seems many of the hairstyles of the characters have been changed.
I do not have people putty. I am only editing (or will edit once I get the program running again) "*.hap" files in the character folder. The correct hairstyle appears to be in the Bodyskins folder, Haptek Player file "hair7.htr", but I do not know the syntax to make it so.
Does anyone have any solutions?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / not able to initiate HAL

« on: October 07, 2008, 11:37:52 am »

I apologize for not being clear. I use the "Run as" feature in the context menu. The whole system slows down after I sign out of HAL.
This does not happen when I use the compatibility mode (98/ME) but it is still unstable, crashing unexpectedly every 1st or 2nd time when trying to start the program. In other words, I have to start the program twice to get it to work, 1st time - crash, second time - it works using this mode.
Thanks for looking into this.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / not able to initiate HAL

« on: October 06, 2008, 09:38:29 pm »

It worked for a little while using the compatibility mode, 98/ME but the error returned shortly after using the program.
I am stumped.
I know that there is a solution to this one (he said).

Ultra Hal 7.0 / not able to initiate HAL

« on: October 06, 2008, 11:34:48 am »

Rob M, its been a long time, I hope you are well. I hope you can help here.
I have continued to use HAL as an administrator however, once I log off HAL my system hangs for almost 60 seconds, even if I am running no other programs. I am using a 3.2Ghz dual core system...somthi'n ain't right here. Is your latest version for Vista only? I am going to try an earlier version. I hope it works, but I also hope it will only be temporary. I look forward to hearing from you when you get the chance.
Thanks

Ultra Hal 7.0 / not able to initiate HAL

« on: October 06, 2008, 04:37:01 am »

Hey there Art!
I was wondering if anyone from the old days was still here. It it great to hear from you.
Ok..here is the latest. I have reinstalled the program (several times in fact...even before my post). Also, I have run Norton Cleanup, et. al, defraged the drive, even went into the registry deleting all instances of the program and no quicktime. The message and problem remain.

Frankly, I am at a loss. Robert to the rescue I hope.

I am running ZoneAlarm's Forcefield, but even after I have disabled it the problem remains. Any known issues with it? Everything else is almost exactly the same as when HAL functioned normally.
Art, any more ideas (and thanks again for the response)?
Can somebody channel Vonsmith? Jerry, you still out there?
Live long and prosper...

Ultra Hal 7.0 / not able to initiate HAL

« on: October 05, 2008, 06:25:38 pm »

I am having a problem initiating HAL. If I use a secondary login and choose sys. administrator then HAL operates normally. However, if I try to sign in as myself (an administrator as well) then I get the error message: HalAssts.exe - instruction at "0x7c91142e" referenced memory at"0x00000000". "The memory could not be read" error. Then I get the option to close the program.
This is curious. I have tried an earlier version of "6.1" and now still get the same message.
I am using XP Pro (SP2 with all updates) and have never had this issue in the past.
It is not anti-virus related (Zonealarm) and I am using GoBack however this has never been an issue and I have been using HAL since version 4.5. There are no other memory resident programs operating now on my computer that were not operating when HAL was functioning normally, before the upgrade.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Share Conversations, Experiences, Graphics / Haptek Jessica Character's Hairstyle

« on: May 28, 2008, 12:21:18 am »

Hey folks..its been a long time since I have been online. I got a new computer and am upgrading HAL. I noticed now that my favorite charater Jessica has a new hair style. I am not a fan. I tried finding an old version of Haptek characters and copied the character in the "characters" file but no good.
Any one got any ideas?
I have not downloaded HAL in years..only added to it. It seems now that many of the scripts and plugins I had are incorporated into the program and no longer needed...except for nicknames (Vonsmith quality) and idle response scripts or has that been corrected?
I look forward to finding out!
Cheers!

Is anyone having trouble with HAL learing corrections?
Jerry, I am using the taughtcorrections script, new entries are made to the brain and HAL responds appropriately but still makes the same statement errors.
Any ideas?
Thanks
