Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Re: Text File Cache

« on: January 03, 2012, 01:16:53 pm »

The text files are terrific.  But I do have a question (I'm new so please direct me to the right area if I'm asking in the wrong spot)...One of the files at

https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=c41bf4943a70e3dc&uc=4&id=C41BF4943A70E3DC%21143

that contains the text files has one called Memory.txt.  When loading this file into the brain editor all the entries loose spacing (commas are eliminated).  I've run a couple of tests and Hal doesn't seem to understand these (as I would guess since they become one big word).  Should I take the time to go through the 2000 lines or so and add the spaces?  Here is an example...

Entry in the text file:
Big=diameter,size,large,massive.
Size=big,small,tiny,huge,massive,enormous,tall,large,narrow.
Weight=heavy,light,tiny,pounds,stones,kilo,kilogram,gram,weighs,huge,underweight,obese.
Temperature=hot,cold,warm,humid,freezing,chilly,burning,boiling,frozen,freezing,froze.

These all become:
Big diametersizelargemassive
Size bigsmalltinyhugemassiveenormoustalllargenarrow
etc. etc.

A related question...is there a 'fact' area within the brain versus a Q&A area?  Most of the entries within the Memory.txt file are more fact than Q&A.

Thanks.

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Re: GRETTA PLUGINS

« on: January 03, 2012, 10:28:16 am »

New to the Ultra Hal community.  Loaded up Hal and a few of the Gretta plug-ins.  Having a difficult time getting the NEWS feed to work.  Installed Balabolka but since I'm running Windows 7 I had to modify the path within a couple of the Gretta plug-ins to find it ( in Windows 7 the path is:  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Balabolka\balabolka.exe" ).  Next challenge is that it appears the Gretta plug-ins are not compatible with Internet Explorer 9.  When I ask for the "Latest News" I get no response but IE9 appears to not run correctly or have display problems after asking for the news.  Still investigating.  Not sure if there is a way to force a compatibility mode versus modifying the Gretta modules.  Since Balabolka is an executible, there is no way to modify it

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: gretta plug ins

« on: January 03, 2012, 10:21:05 am »

I got them to load...placing in the "Ultra Hal Assitant 6" directory, selecting the plug-ins when Hal is running, then restarting.  I've been trying the NEWS plug-in.  Had to modify the plug-ins to reflect the correct path for the Balabolka text-to-speech module, but apparently the way the gretta plug-in is accessing Internet Explorer it dies in mid-process (no feed news provided).  I'm running Windows 7 and IE9 which is probably the source of the problem.
