The KITT Voice Display character is now bundled with thecolor's KITT Vox skin archive and is available for download. It can be found at the same link as before: http://www.cypher-sec.org/VOXskin.rar Many thanks to thecolor for making this available with his skin. Again, sorry for the wait.

Seven, I'm not sure how to add speech to text for my character. I would think there would be a way to program that, although I'm not sure that it could be done inside of the Agent Character Editor. Maybe someone fluent in designing Agent characters in Visual Basic could pull it off.

Seven, the MS Agent core components are not installed on Win98 by default. Unless you download the components and installed them previously, I'd guess this might be what is preventing you from using MS Agent characters. Click here  http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/b/8/db8cbaa8-57ea-4057-ba77-14e0a71000f5/MSagent.exe to download the components. Then run the install file and hopefully you should be good to go. This particular download supports Win95, 98 and NT, by the way.

I had gotten the same MS Character Error with Merlin and a few other MS Characters when I first upgraded from Hal 4.5 to 5.0. I just ran a bunch of system scans and did a system cleanup and then it worked. I know that don't help you much but it worked for me. I think that I also tried reinstalling Hal too. You can also try running a registry repair program if you got one.

Here's More About the Issue:

The "error loading msagent character -2147417843-1" is known to occur for several reasons:

1. The Hal Program is having trouble locating either the character or one of the msagent core components required to operate the character. Make sure you have all the required msagent core components installed. If you have already done this and have successfully been running your character using the CyberBuddy program then you should also be able to use the character with Hal as well. You can re-check your setup by going to the below link.
Link to Desktopmates New User Startup:
http://desktopmates.com/instructions.html

2. This error is also known to appear on slower computers or a computer that is being depleted of it's resources. First thing is to make sure there's no other programs running at the same time in the background that could be depleting your system resources (memory). Also make sure your system is defragged on a regular basis (every few months at least). And of course check your system for any viruses or worms, they can go undetected and may only cause some minor problems in the beginning by depleting system resources or corrupting files.

3. Here's a few other suggestions that have been reported to fix this problem.

(a) Try changing the setting on how Ultra Hal starts up in the general options under the "Startup" tab and select "I want Hal to start like a normal program from the start menu. Hal will not be accessed from the system tray but rather from a window that appears".

(b) Try running the Ultra Hal install setup again and choose the "Repair Option".

thanks, all the info helped.  now, i heard that someone wanted to program a hal brain to act like kitt.  Hmm...  how whould that work?  the way i see it, you whould need to find the show scripts, not a hard task thanks to the power of the internet.  but there is still two problems.  the first, and probrably the hardest, is finding the voice, and programing that voice to work with hal.  spydaz, thats probrably your department, anyone else is welcome to try of course[:D]

The next problem is programing the brain once you have the scripts.
i probrably have the time, and i have a friend who is practicaly a knight rider guru[:D], but i have no idea how to program the brain.  anyone who whould like to give instructions please post, ill start collecting skripts[:D]

There is a wizard for creating and programming the brain with hal.  I ultimately wanted to create a K.I.T.T. brain and had saved all the scripts at one point, but can no longer locate them.  :(

That would be the first step, to record all the scripts in his head.
Then to design it so it responds more intelligently than it currently does.  :)

The voice would be an nice next step though.  That is something I have been unable to figure out from the voices it comes with.  :(

THEN i ADD special TOPIC SCRIPTs STATMENT_1, QABRAIN_1.
THEN i add CUTTINGEDGE ZIGGY deductive scripts (it EQUALLs, because why). This makes HAL recognise more of what you say....

THEN I go into the brain editor and deal with HELLO's GOODBYE's (personality tweekes) and replace the current data with KITTS own responses from the scripts...


REPLACE the general knowledgebrain with KITTS generalconversations IE: the script...


IN USEAGE: cut and paste large texts from the SCRIPT in conversations. Learn from a text file(the script)...


All these factors come together.




Sweet Spydaz.  That would be awesome.  I will see what I can do to locate them.  I've probably burned them to a backup disc somewhere.  :)

If anyone is curious about the show and stuff, another place I hang out is www.knightfoundation.net and you really need to see the whole series.  :)  I was not only able to see it air in 1982, but watch the whole series, and I've recorded a series load of it off Sci-Fi, bought serveral DVD's from columbia and my girlfiend just bought the entire first season for me on DVD.  :)  So, the replica is the frosting.  :)  haha.

A complete HAL/K.I.T.T. will be the sweetest sugar ever!!!

Spydaz...

Ok, here they are:

I converted the PDF's to rtf on my site and also provided them in their orig PDF format.

http://www.cypher-sec.org/kitt/scripts/

They can also be located from my replica sit under "links"

Update:
I just converted it to html also.  The only step left for "script" is audio.

Hello Knightrider People,
I started on a Kitt brain. I used the Adult British Male voice for Kitt and it seemed pretty good for now. Here's what I got so far. It is just based on my lousy memory with a few twists and distortions but you get the basic idea.

Michael: Hello Kitt!
Kitt: Hello Michael! What took you so long?

Michael: What the hell kind of car are you?
Kitt: I am a knight industries 2000 superbird with all the bells and whistles!

Michael: Oh yes, Devin told me all about you!
Kitt: Devin is an asshole but bonnie is really freaking hot!

Michael: So what's on today's agenda pal?
Kitt: We got some very important work to do today!

Michael: OK, then let's go!
Kitt: Ok, let's get right on it now!

Michael: OK, let's go kick some butt!
Kitt: We should activate my turbo boost if we want to make it there in time!

Michael: Don't worry, we'll make it!
Kitt: I sure hope so Michael, for both your sake and mine!

Michael: I said don't worry!
Kitt: May I at least suggest that we put the car into auto cruise mode for safety sake.

Michael: Damn it Kitt, I said no!
Kitt: Ok Michael, have it your way!

Very cool!  :)  I can't wait for a K.I.T.T. that is fully programmed with all the scripts.  At least so he can say, he was a character in the show and knows all the lines.  :)

Act as if he was the character and he's a seperate actor.  :)

K.I.T.T. playing himself.

[|)]

You guys are on to something really cool here.

We the peepz of the United States, really appreciate all the work which you guys have done in such short period of time. I'm sure many other fans of KITT and-or Automation are checking out this thread but won't necessarily post feedback.

-----------Cast Thus Far:

- Rick (a.k.a. TheColor)      as Skin-MaSTER
- Jeff Kyle (a.k.a. MidiHead) as Agent-Master
- ????????????????????????? as Brain-Master

Oh no, Brain is still in production and the position is yet to be cast! Who will it be?

Will it be the deservedly cocky "Spydaz" with his advanced skillz;
---or
perhaps "Rick_A" with his existing prototype "KR_script" brain?

Babalu will most definitely stay tuned for the next development!!!
