Another plugin

[ramccoid]

Here is a plugin that allows HAL to tell you things about your zodiac sign. For example say something like "Tell me about Gemini" or "What is the positive side of Cancer" and there's lots of other information that HAL could tell you. Ask HAL what it's star sign is or even ask HAL to tell you yours.
All information was collected from the WEB, so if you don't agree with it don't blame me because I'm not an astrologer.
Enjoy [8D]

Cool! Here is my conversation with the plug-in:

(does it do a horoscope? like tell me what my future is?? I cannot figure it out if it does)


Mark: what is your Zodiac sign
Laura: I was born on Friday, February 12, 1982. So that makes me a Sagittarius the archer.

Mark: cool!!
Laura: Yep, very cool.

Mark: Tell me about Libra, my sign
Laura: A man placing goods for sale on a balance, which is the picture of Libra. It represents the lower abdomen of Ursha major and lives among the places of merchandising, and lands yielding good vegetables. The seventh Sign, Libra is the charmer. Librans accomplish things because they intellectually evaluate what needs to be done, then they charm others into cooperating to achieve the goal. By unselfishly sharing the success of accomplishment with those who have assisted them, Librans nurture the cooperative efforts of others. They have to learn how to deal with confrontation. Their fear of hurting others and also of hostile situations can keep them from reaching their goals.

Hi MarkofKane,
I'm pleased you like it and are having fun.
No it does not tell you your horoscope but Jerry's 'Horoscope' plugin does. With both of them working together you can have a more complete astrology package.

You can ask questions about:
Ruling planet, what a sign governs, beneficial food, compatible signs, incompatible signs, As a mother or father, what a sign is like to marry, positive side, negative side, famous celebrities, what a sign is like as a friend, what a sign is prone to, what career is best for a sign, what is the physical attributes, lucky things, what element is the sign, what the opposite sign to a sign, about a sign. Think I've got them all.

I've just noticed, I didn't program it to say that [:0]. It should have said and it does on my computer after changing the date to correspond with yours to see if it's a year bug thing.

USER: What is your zodiac sign
HAL : I was born on 12 February 1982. So that makes me an aquarius the water bearer

I don't understand how HAL is saying it in a way that I did not program HAL to say and getting it wrong.
Roy.
I must add that your age/gender plugin must be set and switched on.

[markofkane]

That is weird. I did not pay that close attention to that.[:0][:0][:0]

I also use the Gender and age plug-in for Hal. That could be a cause

I wonder why it's wrong?

It gets my sign right if I enter  

"I was born on 9 October"

[ramccoid]

I can't figure it out how it tells the day, I never programmed it to say FRIDAY or any other day. But it's a nice feature if HAL got the sign right.

Roy

Has anyone else had this same sort of response from HAL? because it is beyond me how HAL is saying it in a way that I never programmed it to do so. I can't think how it can be, does anyone have any ideas?

[ramccoid]

quote:I also use the Gender and age plug-in for Hal. That could be a cause

The Gender/Age plugin needs to be activated for my plugin to work or an error will occur when you ask HAL it's star sign.
Roy.

[markofkane]

I wonder if I might have an older version of Gender and age than you do?

It's weird. I set it to make her 25 years old, and a female.

[ramccoid]

quote: I wonder if I might have an older version of Gender and age than you do?

I wrote version 1 with HAL 6 and I updated it about a week ago to version 2 with HAL 6.1 because I had learnt more programming techniques. I just don't understand how your HAL can recite it differently and add Friday to the response and twist the month and day around from the way I programmed it. It's impossible, isn't it?
Your HAL must be evolving, that's all I can think of but is that possible to rewrite the order of fixed programming? It should say it as:

 I was born on 12 February 1982. So that makes me an aquarius the water bearer

because it is fixed to say it that way and should never be able to say it any other way and it's amazed me how your HAL says it:

I was born on Friday, February 12, 1982. So that makes me a Sagittarius the archer.

because the actual coding is this:

resp = "I was born on " & HalLongBirthday & ". So that makes me a " & rasign

How can it be said any other way? It's a mystery .....
Roy

I see maybe you are right, maybe the 'HalLongBirthday' has been changed with HAL 6.1. I'll check it out with HAL 6 version.
----------------------------------------------------------------
No, both versions do it the same way. I just don't understand it at all.

[markofkane]

I guess we need Jerry or someone else with coding experience.[:0][:0][:0]

Bill has helped me with a way to sort out the possible problem but with just upgrading from XP to Vista I will need to sort my system out before I can do anything else.

Has anybody else had this problem with the plugin?
Roy.

Hi ramccoid.

I fixed the problem HAL was giving Mark.

please replace your zodiac code with this update in your plugin upload.

Corrected variables.
