Import from Peopleputty

[greg920]

I am having problems importing characters from PeoplePutty.
I have copied the .htr and the image file produced by People putty to the Ultra Hal character file but they do not appear on the selection list.

Thanks Greg

I take it your using the trial version.
If so the only way to do it is to
rename one of your htr files hal.htr
or zabba.htr and replace the one's in the
Characters folder with them.

No I am not using the free version of Hal, but I may try your suggestion

Greg,
Don't know about your setup but on my system, the character files are saved to: C:Program Files/Haptek/PeoplePutty/user/projects.
One might be Kelly.haptar (if you saved it in People Putty as a .htr file). I found that the filename was NOT .htr but haptar. In explorer just rename the extention to htr.
Now, in either People Putty or if you can get the character image to show in the player or even HAL, use a screen capture program such as SnagIt or the like to grab the whole image. Save the image as a jpg and be sure to name the jpg file the same name as the htr file. ex:kim.htr and kim.jpg. Also make the image file size 160 x 160.

The next time you load HAL and scroll through the character list, you'll see your newly created character. Oh yes, be sure to copy your new character files to:  C:Program Files/Zabaware/Ultra Hal Assistant 5/Characters or wherever your people reside.

Sounds more complicated than it actually is. Hope this helps.

Greg,
Meet Kiki, one of my many characters created from
People Putty. Her size is not 160 x 160 but you get the idea.
Her files are kiki.htr and kiki.jpg both of which are
in the characters folder.



Any probs or ??'s let me know.
