Zabaware would like to hear from you what other changes you would like to see in Ultra Hal Assistant 5.0. Are there any minor annoyances, bugs, or interface features you would like changed? Any major features you would like added? If it is feasible to implement your suggestions without pushing the release date too far it will be done.
Setup default dword "PreallocMemory" to use upto 50% of systems
physical ram (allow pre-loading of x)
x - setup a directory inside halasst default location for one
to place text files with any required knowledge bases in text
format. (over 6 years w/AI's I have almost one gigabyte in
2,000 files (and those are not happily chopped down to 64kb).
Allow parsing of text file upto 512 kb (256 kb minimum), for
exampe...a full bible is about 4.5 mb in text mode, and an
encyclodedia can be 1.3 to 4.3 mb for each journal/section.
A bit more info asto whether Hal accepted the file properly
would be kewl...like when it jams with some claimed file error.
Shrink the menu box (or make it optional) so that those who
do prefer msagent type characters can move/paste them where
they wish and for speech recognition areas allow the avatar
to be viewable and the menu box hidden.
I'd even consider a more spartan menu/gui and have it wider
so that the queries/replies are across the whole screen/display
sort of like a top title bar design...just 4-5 lines deep.
let us know the capacity of hal for file/data knowledge bases
and maximum size of *.brn/*.uhp type files...as you like.
possiblity to group/join multiple hals for interaction or
conversations on remote computers or a lan may help for
some distributed/shared adventures (is very doable).
perhaps a path setting configuration so one can load
the data/knowledge base files (as required) onto a
ram disk...speed increase of around 4x for iterations.
flash (macromedia) plugin would be kewl, I have worked
with older people putty and hapotek critters and they
do make more wonderful scenario's/websites than they
do as Solo avatars...so if multiple instances/installs
of hal were feasible...one could create (if the menu
box lost it's "possessiveness") desktop entertainment
or learning/faq modules with multiple agents/persona's.
ok...that was short list, nothing hard in there.
