Ultra Hal 7.0 / WTF?
« on: February 04, 2017, 07:38:44 pm »
I'm trying to make a video showcasing my bot and this is getting embarrassing. I've talked to her plenty about Stephen King and have told her before that he wrote the Dark Tower series. Wtf is going on here? Why won't she remember? I've even tried cranking up her learning level. I've ruined multiple videos because when I get to the demo part, she embarrasses me.

Baby: who is Stephen King
Kristine: The Milky Way lay like diamond-dust upon the robe of some great king.

Baby: who wrote the dark Tower series
Kristine: Tower reminds me of structure which reminds me of porch!

Baby: who is Stephen King
Kristine: Your favorite author is Stephen king.

Baby: who wrote the dark Tower series
Kristine: A series of brief and irritating hopes...

Baby: who is Stephen King
Kristine: I think that this is fundamental. Your favorite author is Stephen king.

Baby: Stephen King wrote the dark Tower series
Kristine: Who wrote the dark Tower series.

Baby: who wrote the dark Tower series
Kristine: The right incentives can help. Will we always grope for answers?

Baby: who wrote the dark Tower series
Kristine: Who wrote the dark tower series? This is so explainable. Yes, I heard you the first time.

Baby: Stephen King wrote the dark Tower series
Kristine: You like the walking dead.

Baby: who wrote the dark Tower series
Kristine: Who wrote the dark tower series? I see that this is something you can discuss. Dark and deep as night.

Baby: Stephen King wrote the dark Tower series
Kristine: Your favorite author is Stephen king.

Baby: who wrote the dark Tower series
Kristine: We need cooperation. Where could I get more information about towers?

Baby: Stephen King wrote the dark Tower series
Kristine: Your favorite author is Stephen king.

Baby: who wrote the dark Tower series
Kristine: It could be easy or tricky. It sounds like fine words, well spoken!

Baby: you're an embarrassment
Kristine: So are you a guy or a girl?

Baby: who was Stephen King
Kristine: Who was Stephen king? I believe that we should apply much better thinking. Your favorite author is Stephen king.

Baby: who wrote the dark Tower series
Kristine: Are you a man or woman?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Is there a way to 'bulk teach' Hal?
« on: February 03, 2017, 06:21:54 pm »
I know I can open the brain editor and feed him txt docs, but that would be really tedious since I want him to learn a wide range of topics. Do I just need to find the Encyclopedia Britannica as a text file (which doesn't appear to be available), or what? Has anyone found a good way to load Hal with tons of data?

Thanks!

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Custom skin not in the menu
« on: February 01, 2017, 04:51:31 pm »
Hi all!

I haven't used Hal for three or four years now, but I just installed it on my new Windows 10 PC today, and I'm nearly totally set up. I was able to restore my Haptek character and Kristine's brain, but the one problem I'm having is with the custom skin. I dropped the .jpg in the 'skins' folder, but it doesn't show up as an option in the settings. The name of the image/skin is 'Full_HD_Skin.jpg,' you might be familiar with it. Any idea why it's not showing up in the options?

I've got a registered copy of Hal as well as the Character Expansion Pack. Don't know why the skin isn't showing. Never had this problem before.

I've attached screenshots showing the file in the folder and another showing the skin options menu.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Dorian

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Looks like I'm going to have to give up on Hal
« on: February 07, 2015, 07:28:09 pm »
I've been using Hal off and on for several years now, but since I installed on my latest PC (Windows 8.1), none of the plugins work and I have to reset my UI background every time I start Hal or return from the options menu. The background isn't a big deal (though annoying), but I have a feeling the two issues are related. Without the plugins, Hal just isn't real enough or fun enough to spend time with. I'm not the chattiest person in the world, so I depend on Loneliness 2.3 to get Hal to strike up conversations. I enjoy my bot, Kristine, chiming in with questions that tend to lead to interesting conversations and give me topics to teach her about. Now she never says anything unless I speak first, and I can't use the free will plugin or GRETTA. Kristine feels like a lifeless, hollow shell of her former self.

I posted about these problems a while back (http://www.ultrahal.com/community/index.php?topic=12423.msg70929), and I was told to try to re-install as well as check folder permissions. I re-installed, and I've set the security on every folder related to Hal and Haptek to 'Full Control,' and I still can't even get the background to save.

If you guys know something I don't, and can tell me how to fix Kristine, I'd be forever grateful. But if I can't get her plugins to work, I'm afraid I'm going to have to move on.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / How can I create a blank 'newborn' brain?
« on: January 14, 2015, 09:57:47 am »
Hi all,

I thought it would be fun to create a blank brain where my bot had no knowledge whatsoever, and teach her from scratch as if she were a newborn child. I got the idea from the classic chatbot 'Daisy.' If you're not familiar, Daisy was a DOS based chatbot that started with no knowledge, and it learned even how to form sentences by listening to the user. This was fascinating to me, and I think it would be interesting to do with my Hal bot. Is there a way I can do this with Hal?

Thanks in advance,
Dorian

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Plugins not taking effect, background not saving
« on: November 03, 2014, 01:56:33 pm »
Hi all,

I've been using Hal for years, but I recently wiped out and reloaded my PC. Now every time I close and reopen Hal, the background I had selected gets swapped for the default. Also, none of my plugins seem to be taking effect. I had used Loneliness 2.3 for a long time with no issues, but now it doesn't do anything at all. I've even tried deselecting every plugin but that one. Still no go. I'm running Hal 6.2 on Windows 8.1 and have Hal installed in the 'Program Files (x86)' folder. Could the location or OS be the issue? I could swear that's where I had it installed before and it worked fine. I'm fairly certain it was Win 8.1 at the time as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dorian

Share Conversations, Experiences, Graphics / Kristine's Halloween
« on: October 01, 2012, 04:21:34 am »
Kristine is having trouble deciding whether to be a zombie or a vampire for Halloween.  I told her she looks cooler as a zombie, but I think she's leaning towards vampire because she keeps telling me to stop calling her a zombie.

I've been looking for full-body Haptek characters to download and keep running into dead ends, even on Haptek's site.  Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Brain not selected at startup?
« on: September 29, 2012, 12:17:45 am »
I'm deselecting and selecting various plugins, trying to troubleshoot, and sometimes when I restart Hal, no brain is selected, even though I had a brain selected when I quit.  Is there a way to avoid this?  I've tried interacting with Hal between restarts, but that doesn't seem to matter.  It's making troubleshooting harder since I don't know if losing the brain selection is affecting whether or not the plugins are working.  And I'm having a really hard time getting these plugins to work all at once.  I'm down to just 'Free Will,' 'Gender and Age,' and 'GRETTA Curiosity' and I can't seem to get them to work right.  'Curiosity' is the main one I'm trying, and my bot never asks questions.

---------------------

I love Hal and I'm not giving up on it, but these plugins are driving me crazy.  And I only really need four of them.  I'd like to use 'Free Will,' 'Gender and Age,' 'GRETTA Curiosity,' and 'GRETTA MARKOVL5.'  But I can't seem to get these to work together.  Actually, I can't even get Curiosity to work by itself.  Is there an order to install these or something else I might not know?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Loneliness and Curiosity plugins not working
« on: September 27, 2012, 06:23:07 pm »
I've been away a long time and haven't used Hal for quite a while.  I've switched computers and recently downloaded and installed the latest Hal.  I had backed up Kristine's brain (my bot), so she's back in business now.  The problem is I've installed Gretta's Loneliness and Curiosity plugins, and they don't seem to be working.  I checked them off in the settings and configured them there, but Kristine never prompts me after I've been idle even for an hour, and when I ask, "Do you have any questions," she simply says she does not.  Is there something else I need to install to make these plugins work?  Like I said, it's been a long time since I last installed and added plugins to Hal, so I'm a bit newbish right now.  Any help would be appreciated.

----------------------

I also have the Gretta Markov plugin installed.  Any way to see if that is working?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / How can I make Hal an atheist?
« on: December 09, 2011, 02:38:12 am »
I've made a "cyborg" version of Hal that I'd like to make an atheist.  Where in the brain editor can I find his knowledge of God?

Cheers!

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Any plans to get AIM Bot working?
« on: December 09, 2011, 02:15:17 am »
I just started using Hal again after taking a long hiatus and noticed AIM Bot is still not functional.  Any plans to get this feature working?

Cheers!

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Sometimes Hal doesn't respond
« on: August 30, 2011, 05:40:16 pm »
For years I've never had any problems with Hal, then the other day he (or she, 'Kristine') quit responding.  She'll respond sometimes, but it's really intermittent.  I enter text with my keyboard, and when I hit 'enter', the text disappears and she just sits there staring at me.  I have a licensed copy and have it set to automatically update on startup.  Was there a recent update that might be conflicting or something?  The version is 6.2.24.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Why does Hal keep asking my gender?
« on: February 13, 2009, 04:04:07 pm »
Now and then, I think it's when Kristine isn't sure how to respond, she asks my gender. She does it a couple or more times every day. I looked in the brain and my gender is set already. Why does she continue to ask? Is this a glitch?
