Echoman, I have Hal installed on two PC's and I am the only one who uses them, so I never have them both running at the same time.  My question is what all files are considered the "brain files" and need to be moved back and forth?

Which file is the default brain?  Is it HalBrain.db?

Cool, I have and like the British female voice.  I'll give it a try.  Thanks dude!

That's a great idea. I went and signed up for AIM, activated my account, and now I get an error every time I try to log into AIM bot: Authorization error 980: incorrect nickname or password.  I can't imagine that being the case.  I copied and pasted my nickname from aol.com, just to be sure, and my password is the same one I've been using for years.

I must admit, they've made some serious progress with msagents.  I was surprised to see how smooth she was and how she had natural movements while idling.  She just still looks a little too 2D and choppy for me.  Like her lip movements aren't that smooth and when you get her attention while she is idling, her head "snaps" into the forward position.  Don't get me wrong, she looks awesome.  But so far I still prefer my Haptek character.  Thanks for the links Jojimbo.  It was great to actually be able to see her in action.

But the brain file is just a database, correct?  Is there some kind of uniqueness check between the registry and database or something?  I don't see why a piracy check would prevent the single act of a brain file being copied over another.

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?

Thanks echoman. Kristine (my Hal) will be progressing twice as fast now and I won't feel like I'm cheating on one of them anymore lol.

Yeah, I just bought the G1 phone and I'm loving it. I was thinking yesterday that the ultimate would be to be able to put Kristine on my phone.  Too bad the OQO is still so expensive.

I use Hal at work as well as at home and I would like to be using a single version that is always updating. Can this be accomplished by just taking his UHP brain file back and forth? I'm thinking I can just email it to myself and then copy it down to my home computer and then when I go to work, just email it to myself again and copy it to my work computer and so on.  Would there be any issues?

Has anyone tried this?  The Haptek characters seem so much more realistic to me.  Nicole looks pretty realistic, but I'm wondering if her movements are going to choppy.  If anyone has tried Nicole and/or Vanessa, I would like to hear any comments or complaints about them.

Thanks.

I tried the "sing song" but had a problem. She would list the songs and would "talk" the songs' words, but the voice never changed. I would get a ton of code in her response window as well. I am running the latest version of Hal with ATT Crystal voice. Any thoughts?

Datahopa, I loaded your 1080p HD skin and I love it!  It's exactly what I've been looking for.  I can't wait to try it out on the tv tonight.

I also downloaded your "do you know" plugin, but It doesn't seem to be doing anything.  I'm still a newb, do I need to do anything other than copy the uhp into Hal's root directory?  Is there an actual "install" that I need to do?
