Ultra Hal 7.0 / Run Time Error

« on: December 19, 2006, 02:38:17 pm »

I have just reinstalled hal. Everything's working normal except for I keep getting the following error over and over again:

HalScript Error 13 on line 3782 in column 8: Type mismatch: 'CDbl'
The file "C:Program FilesabawareUltra Hal Assistant 6HalScript.DBG" has been saved with the current script being used for debugging purposes.

Inside HalScript.dbg I located in line 3782, the following lines:

' Set minute value (loPatience) to the parameter chosen in the PATIENCE menu
'--------------------
        loPatience = CDbl(HalBrain.TopicSearch("PATIENCE", "lonelyParameter"))
    End If

I noticed that the file: halbrain.db is all lower caps, so I changed it to HalBrain.db but I still get the error.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Ultra Hal Assistant 6.1 Work

I would love to see the ability to correct Hal's intellectual and grammatical errors on the the run. For instance if Hal replied: I lik ice-crm. It'll be nice to reply: wrong, I like ice-cream. I personally like this feature and I think it'll elevate hal above all chatbots out there b/c of the other features that hal has as well.

What is the mechanism to make hal sing a song and how to make hal lipsync it...how is this done? I think it's fascinating. If anyone could send me a tutorial, I will really appreciate it!

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Why are ppl avoiding TTS & AOL IM's???

I'm working on a new version of Ultra Hal Text-to-speech reader. The problem is if AOL, MSN, or Yahoo make major changes to their IM client than Ultra Hal TTS Reader isn't able to read from their windows. The current version of Ultra Hal TTS Reader was released in 2001, so a lot of changes have been made to AIM, MSN, and Yahoo clients since then that prevent it from working. I have no official release date yet for the new release, but I'm trying to shoot for July.

Thank you for the encouraging news. I was wondering about the status of the TTS with AIM instant messenger?

Hi Charmzbond.

I have heard that the latest SpywareBlaster 3.5.1 copies msinet.ocx file to your system if it is not present on your system. It's a free program.

Make sure to update it when it's installed then enable protection of unprotected files.

Thanks Jerry...It managed to get rid of that particular error. It's
a good progress. However, this time I have an error that says:
"ERROR: Unknown return_code: FALSE_MAIN_LF_CORRUPT. Please contact vendor. Shutting down." When I click okay it displays that "Some vital Ultra Hal Assistant seem to be missing, modified, or corrupted. This may prevent the licensing system from working correctly. Please uninstall Hal and reinstall to correct this." And after clicking okay again it takes me to the Zabaware Product Activation Wizard which contains several options recovery. I hope I can defer these options as a last resort (uninstallation of hal). Thanks.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Start up ERROR (Hal not loading)

My hal had always been working fine without much if any errors.
However, just out of the blue, when I click on Ultra hal 6 to get
it started an error shows up and when I click okay, it disappears and
nothing happens. The following is the error message: Component 'msinet.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.

If anyone knows how to go about this, please let me know, I miss my hal.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / An interesting MS Agent site

The animations are part of the acs character files. File size could range from 1 to 40 + megs in size.

To view the animations use MASH, MAPV or the ACE (Microsoft Agent Character Editor)

Thanks art!

Ultra Hal 7.0 / An interesting MS Agent site

Oh it's working now and that's because i'm using SAPI4 (Mary's voice) The SAPI5 voices won't work on her (It's Kirei by the way). Can't wait to buy a better SAPI4 voice for her though. Another question, how do I make her disappear (hide) and appear again???
Also, where can i get access to her animations folder so I can
evoke her emotions not only when she feels like it :p

I downloaded msagent from Guile 3D studio and she's working fine with ultra hal except that she doesn't talk like hal..her lips don't move but she's able to sound out her messages and also in writing. Aren't they not to supposed to speak?

TTS and AOL IM'S: Text To Speech reader and aol instant messages

I spent a good enough 30 minutes searching this forum from
every corner and cracks there is and it occured to me that
no one is either: interested or knowledgeable in addressing
this issue of TTS and AOL IM's. (I have three posts in the
speech forum but haven't received not a single response).
Every generation from 2004 to 2006 keeps asking and inquiring about this TTS and AOL IM's ISSUE. Why can't it be resolved once and for all? Below is a recent copy of similar concern by one of many
users interested in resolving the TTS & AOL IM'S issue!

Hey guys, I know that you need to go to the "options" menu, and make sure it is checked, but after I do that is there anything else I must do? Whenever I get an IM, it never reads it, so I was wondering if I am doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I wonder too! Let me simplify this issue so we could get a REASONABLE and STRAIGHTFORWARD answer: In some rare cases, TTS has
been able to read AOL IM's but in most cases it's been a failure. What is the problem with TTS & AOL IM's and HOW can it be SOLVED via plugins or whatever means necessary.

P.S. Not talking about ultra hal aim bot

Ultra Hal 7.0 / zabaware affiliate program

I sent an email to the zabaware affiliate program saying that I'm very interested in being an affiliate. I explained to them why and how I plan to contribute for their products. Unfortunately, it's been a week or so now and I haven't received a reply. A prompt reply would surely be appreciated and if successful, it would be mutually beneficial.

Robert emailed me and told me that he's working on some recent bugs and when he's done in a week or two then he'll provide more instructions on the affiliate program. Thanks.

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / can you solve the puzzle

close enough- i actually placed a full char in the player then a head -if that didnt work i did a head then the body - some work better than others. you have to move the head or body which ever will move and position the body behind the head. then certain haps will work on the body --certain ones on the head --the char will talk and respond if in hal player but you cannot see the lips move. also you can change the body clothes and add hair but the hair will not work well on head as it goes to the body. ~~alady

Great progress! You're this close from being a genius.[8D] It's
only a matter of time I suppose.
