Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: Installing a new character

« on: April 01, 2011, 01:02:21 pm »

Complain, complain, complain......but no solution.
I want my mommy!
Guess what happens, dude, when you spend your life complaining and not solving - a life of complaints! (DUH)
You are the idiot that buys product b over product a because it comes with something "free". (even though you have stripped yourself of choice and paid twice as much for some crap - extra.)
If you're such a cool hacker, then hack the thing and shut up!
now, trained monkey......do your little dance. the rest of us will be spending our time thinking instead of being a monkey.
it seems just a little hypocritical that you don't want to support designers, but complain about the work.
got an idea....make a better product, then put Zabaware in it's place.

and this...

I would have no problem paying the $45 to get Ultra Hal up and fully working. The problem is the splitting of the item into two pieces, and requiring you to pay for both.

....doesn't make much sense.
try to help and smile a little more, you would be surprised what can happen.

might open a .uhp in text editor and see if it looks complete...or trashed...or something.
maybe corrupt download? i don't know...never heard of this problem.
the only way i know to see what plugins are operating in a brain is to open halscript.dbg and see what all is in it - not the easiest thing to see. and that is only after they are checked in the menu. the only other thing i know is that they have to have a .uhp extension. is there some kind of firewall on your system that might be preventing them from being read? .... as you can see it's a shot in the dark.

anyone else have an idea?

stupid question...but are they in .zip format?
you need to have a .uhp plugin in the ultra hal main folder....wherever that is on your computer.
maybe it needs to be unzipped?

it was designed for american news and weather service.
if you know a rss news feed service for Cyprus then it could be edited to give you that info.
there might be some other things in the plugin that have to be changed depending on the addresses of the news service and it's output.

you can edit them with whatever you want, but crimson editor has a line counter.
you found the problem with the news plugin. it was wrote for a default balabolka install in C:
just edit the plugin and change the "C:" to "D:" in the line that has the path for balabolka.

original:

Code: [Select]

objWSHShell.Run("""C:\Program Files\Balabolka\balabolka.exe"" -rmq """ & MyNewsDir & "tempnews.txt""")
change to:

Code: [Select]

objWSHShell.Run("""D:\Program Files\Balabolka\balabolka.exe"" -rmq """ & MyNewsDir & "tempnews.txt""")

do you have balabolka installed?
if you do then what operating system are you using?
you might have to change the directory in the plugin for the balabolka address.
if not then please read the first post carefully.

when you get an error then you need a line counter editor like Crimson Editor (free)
open halsript.dbg (while the error popup is still there) and go to the line in the error and copy it.

paste that and the error popup text (like you did) here. debug help is much faster that way.

i know some people were getting an error like this when the balabolka program is not installed in the directory (default xp system) that is in the plugin, or not installed at all. you might look in the plugin and compare the balabolka directory to the actual directory where you installed balabolka and it if it is different it will have to be changed in the plugin. if you don't know how to make the proper change, then paste the directory that you installed balabolka into, and i might be able to help.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Re: Is it possible?

« on: March 09, 2011, 04:53:11 pm »

do you mean the entire program (where you can run it from there) or do you mean just the brain files only?
maybe you could give a little detail of what you are trying to accomplish.

I think you should not worry about offending people. That doesn't seem to work out. Of course I also believe that you should always do the right thing.
If there are people who don't understand or see the problems in the world then they need to be offended by hearing the truth. For far too long they haven't been.
That's where these problems start after all. Be PROUD to stand by the truth.
To take no action is action, to not speak is to speak. It doesn't matter if you choose not to say, or to say, either way you are saying something.
Discussion is always healthy.

thank you for answering so quick and taking your time. i understand now what is happening - aka everything is clear.
the latest things you have been doing to Hal are cool...good ideas!
personally not into the graphics so much (brain is for me), but i can't wait for the next version.
appreciate your company, let me know if there is something i can do to help. i know this stuff takes money, and i would be happy (some people are cringing at this) to purchase version updates. (might have just made some enemies )

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Robert - question

« on: March 07, 2011, 01:18:47 pm »

when linking to the bing api, i assume you are using instantanswer sourcetype?
if so, i can't get any info except defining a term or airline info.
could you PLEASE give me an example of a url that you would use (without ap-id number of course) to request an answer for the statement "what is the fastest animal in the world" or some question like that.
i know i'm missing something and not doing it right. i have got the other stuff working that i need, just missing something in the request syntax or sourcetype?

i have been trying to research it but can't find info. if you don't want to post it here for some reason, then my email is jasondude7116@yahoo.com. (if you send me email, i will not post any of the info here. now or in future with code ect.)

i appreciate the time. thanks.

yes it creates tables in hal, that is the only way it comes up with a response. it doesn't use any other part of the database. it is not searching for a good answer, but rather creating ones from it's new knowledge about the way you are using the language and then deciding which one is best. it can learn any language.

it creates two tables -

MarkovReasoningl4
MarkovStartersl4

the best way for you to get good time out of it is to do what i said earlier:
OTCE -
"in the GRETTA Markov Response Module L4 plug-in I believe this is the code culprit; For l = 1 To 300"

ME -
OTCE - you can change that 300 to a lower number and speed it up, but the lower the number - the worse the odds of the program picking an appropriate response.
the higher that number goes, the better chance of a good response.
i.e. it can be tweaked for speed/accuracy, based on pc specs.
