Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / have hal open your start menu
« on: October 17, 2011, 03:02:17 pm »
note: only tested on windows 7 atm
to get Hal to open the start menu via command "open Start menu"
open notepad
add the script below to the document
Code: [Select]
set ws = CreateObject("Wscript.shell")
ws.sendkeys("^{ESC}") save the file with the name Startmenue.vbs
place the file in a permanent home like in your documents folder
create a shortcut for the file then rename the shortcut to "start menu"
then place the shortcut into you programs folder
now you can tell Hal "open start menu" and he will open up your start menu
also now if you wanted you can have your task bar hidden
by right clicking on your taskbar select properties and select auto-hide the taskbar


note: if the above fails to open the batch files, for Hal might not right away index them

go into Hals main folder and open shortcut.dat with notepad
scroll to the bottom and add these two lines to the list and don't forget to save
example:
shared drive
"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\shared drive.lnk.lnk"

Ultra Hal 7.0 / windows 7 and e-mail problem
« on: October 14, 2011, 11:31:59 pm »
my fairly new desktop has windows 7 and comes with the program windows live mail no longer Outlook for a e-mail program. For the first time I added all my contacts to my desktop. I usually use my laptop for e-mail, but decided today I want to use my desktop for e-mail also.

I set up windows live mail, and got it working with my new cox cable e-mail address, I will be changing to that e-mail address here in my profile shortly.

I went into Hal and added some of my contacts names with there e-mail addresses
exp:
User:  Joe's e-mail address is joe@cox.net
Hal: I have remembered joe's e-mail etc.etc. etc.

all was good till I tried to test Hal opening up the e-mail program and have ready a e-mail for said contact
Example:
user: E-mail joe
Hal: I will start an email for joe@cox.net I will now start an email for joe

above response from Hal was correct, but no e-mail program ever opened :(

Does anyone else have this problem that has windows 7?, If you have windows 7 does your Hals e-mail function work?, and Does anyone know of a way to fix it?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Hal error 2147467259 on line 285
« on: October 12, 2011, 01:49:56 am »
I started a new brain today named Jarvis  :o , lol relax Trinity is still my Hals main brain ;D

I started talking with Jarvis and about close to 1 hour into the conversation I got an error after I replied "that would be wise" to a quote Jarvis said. I am a lil confused why Jarvis would try and start Internet Explorer after saying "That would be wise"

here is the line 285
Code: [Select]
Set objExplorer = CreateObject ("InternetExplorer.Application")

here is the DBG file ok never mind the forum will not allow me to post hals debug file, that's like putting a nail in a coffin   :(

Edit: I just got the same error when I tried to to talk to Jarvis again since I got the above error, by saying " the temperature is dropping now that Autumn  in close by". I went into my plug-ins area and decided to stop the plug-in Internet Research(aka Research.uhp)  first, and I then re opened Hal and re typed the same sentence above and no more error. maybe that plug in was the culprit, I don't know, I guess only time will tell.

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / ever wanted Hal usable and displayed on desktop at start up?
« on: October 10, 2011, 03:12:54 am »
I never did like Having to go into my system tray to open up my Hal. I came up with a way to have you Hal pop up on your desktop and ready to use at system start up with no clicking on the system tray icon or other icon. I'm not sure if anyone else has done this before but I searched and could not find any references. Here is what you need to do if you want this feature.

note: this batch file tested on windows 7 only

1 ) create/send a link of your Hals exe to your desktop.
2 ) rename it to just HalAsst
Edit: follow step 6 plus 7 for this shortcut as well so you do not see a cmd window
3 ) place it in your documents folder
4 ) create a batch file and place that in your documents folder as well (code for batch file is below)
5 ) create a shortcut for your batch file
6 ) right click the shortcut and choos properties
7 ) where it says Run: there is a drop down menu, set it to minimize
8 ) place the shortcut to the batch file in your startup folder
for windows 7 the path to the Startup folder is
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

here is the code for the batch file that you need to create, be sure to save it with the extension .bat
Code: [Select]


@echo off
set _number=0
:TOP
tasklist /nh /fi "imagename eq HalAsst.exe" | find /i "HalAsst.exe" >nul && (

PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 20000 >NUL
@echo off
C:\Users\Trinity\Documents\HalAsst.lnk
cls
exit
) || (
if %_number%==500 goto end
set /a _number +=1

GoTo TOP
)
pause>nul
)
:end
echo Sorry hal failed to start~!

exit

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / need some help with a mediaOpener plug in
« on: October 07, 2011, 03:10:30 pm »
here is what I am trying to do, I used a smaller version of this plug in along time ago but only used it to open mp3's and flv's. I lost all my files due to a corrupt portable drive.  I would like to expand a bit further than what I did before, for it is very useful and I think it would make a great addition to our hals.

working media opening plug in commands
play the song "song name" = plays mp3
play the music video "song name" = plays flv's 
play the movie "movie name" = plays wmv's .mov and other extensions
show the picture "picture name" = opens jpeg, giff, png

note: atm you can also say "play the song "picture name"" if png format it will open the picture. kinda funny

the only extensions I tested that work atm are mp3's, flv's and png's
giff, jpeg's do not work
I have not tested the following extensions avi, mov, mp4, mpg, wmv

I also tried to add commands and extensions for the following(not in uploaded plug in)
"show the book "books name" = opens a pdf: But hal did not like me using the word book  :(
"show the document "documents name" = opens txt file: but hal did not like me using using the word document
I also could not get hal to open a pdf or txt  with working commands like "play the song "name of pdf or txt""

 I really would like to be able to open jpg's, any help with that would be greatly greatly appreciated.
the other extensions (giff,avi, mov, mp4, mpg, wmv) I think would be useful for other members, it is why I included them. just have not been able to test them all yet. pdf's and txt's  would be great a great asset for for me and others in this plug in but I could not get them to work  :(

if some one is able to help don't forget to add your name for credit: original credit goes to Steele

General Discussion / once apon a sad night
« on: October 07, 2011, 02:07:20 pm »
  I been testing out and using a lot of customization programs to transform my windows desktop to get it to look unique, a few dock programs rain meter, custom themes etc. etc. etc. you name it I tried it. ok you got me, not all all of them but I tried a whole bunch of them. My main hard drive (30gb intel solid state drive) was getting very full (1/4 gig free). Instead of deleting what programs I did not want to use, I saved the exe's I wanted to use and figured I would do a fresh install of the os and programs. I deactivated my hal and used a system image that I have on a thumb drive of a fresh windows 7 os to get a fresh install. all was going great, I installed all my programs re-activated hal and expansion pack. everything worked perfectly, also have 9 gigs of free space. Now it was the time to add all my backed up hal files including Trinity's (my hal's name) brain files. I grab my portable western digital 500 gb usb drive and I get a error once I plugged it in that the drive is corrupt. I unplugged it and re plugged it back in, now it don't even recognize the drive. I tried it in my wifes laptop and it did not detect it either. I am now wishing I had saved my files in two places instead of just one. Lesson learned, the hard way. well a new Trinity is born, she will need to be taught a lot (fun part  :) ) and I will have to hunt for plug ins and make small mods or change file paths on them again ( also can be fun :) ) plus reformat all my media that was on that drive from original cd and dvd sources (long tedious boring part).

Ultra Hal 7.0 / question about useing hal to call using skype
« on: August 12, 2011, 05:11:50 pm »
I know if you hook up your phone to your computer, Hal can make a call for you. I have never tried this though.
I have been thinking about getting Skype (a video chat program that can call land lines), and was wondering if anyone got or can get Hal to make a Skype call.
