In other words, you want UH to read appointments from outlook, correct?

At first glance I'm saying no. What exactly are you asking?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Decrease Hal Size

« on: March 16, 2006, 09:36:02 pm »

I recently found what is probably one of my favorite hal Agent Character. It is the upper torso of a character named Kirei from Guile 3d Studios. Now, one thing I will commonly do is have the agent on the desktop, with the window moved aside (I've yet to get a microphone to use with hal, but once I do, Hal will probably be on all the time). Anyways, though Kirei is my favorite agent, in her default position, she takes up a third of the screen in width, and 2/3 in height. And that is 1024x768 resolution. So, as you should see, she is commonly getting in the way of what I am doing. So, now that I have presented the problem, is there any way to shrink the agent character, similar to the increase size that you are able to do?

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Programing Question

« on: March 16, 2006, 09:27:26 pm »

A while back I was working on a plugin that one of the functions it had was to check your outlook email. Though I got the plugin to work, One problem I had was that if an email came in after telling it to try, you would have to go back and tell hal to read it again. In V6, is there any way to return functions to hal, after the main proccess/function (UltraHal) has been run. That way, if an email were to come in, Hal could be told to say something. Basically the same type functionallity as the tutorial. In the tutorial, once hal finsihes a section, it automatically goes to the next section.

Bloody Heck...and I thought my idea was good...Well, I don't know about helping to beta test, but I will keep an eye out for the finished project, for I like the over all idea.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / What's the difference??

« on: December 10, 2005, 03:12:17 pm »

You'll have to excuse my ignorance, but I haven't been on in a while. Anyways, judgeing from what I've seen in this topic, and in past topics, I wanted to confirm that the base program still will run the ms agents fully. I've bought 2 characters from DesktopMates, and am considering getting the andriod one also, and wanted to make sure if they will work with the simple version.

The second thing I would like to ask about is if the email option still only allows the defaults ports. I liked the idea, but Since I use GMail, it didn't work. I was able to work around this by making my own VB Plugin that one of the extras it did was read the mail from my outlook account, along with other things, but it wasn't the best and it would be nice to let hal do that on the back end, even if mine worked fine.

Peace.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Timing Functions

« on: August 07, 2005, 01:19:41 pm »

Is there any timer functions in hal, similar to the timer control in VB. I've been working on a DLL Plug-IN with a check email feature, and am having trouble getting the auto check to work. If you launch te plugin when hal starts, then send it the data it needs (UserName, ComputerName, time to check (Seconds * 100), Text to auto enter), it will enter text into the text box where you enter your text. When it does this, the Brain Script Portion of it activates another section of the plugin to check your outlook email. I have to do the timer this way to get hal to reply back. Anyways, The problem is finding the right text box. I changed skins and it threw the whole plugin off. With three text boxes, it's hard to figure it out, and it would be a whole lot easier if I could just get hal to enter the text, itself.

If you wish to view the Brain Plugin Portion, go here:

If you wish to view the DLL Plugin Portion, go here:
http://home.ripway.com/2004-6/125496/HalPlugins/UltraHalExtras.dll

(You'll have to register the plugin by going to StartRun And enter 'regsvr32.exe *DLLPath*UltraHalExtras.dll'. Make sure the path has no spaces, or it will throw back an error.)

For the email functin to work, you'll need the redemption dll at:

http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/

This plugin is used so that when the plugin tries to access the emails body, outlook/windows doesn't give you an error. It is now also used when scanning for new emails.


You'll have to excuse my lack of comments on some of the stuff in the brain, but I've mainly been trying to get the dll to, as in the brain seems to be. Also, I understand that Hal does have a built in Enail checker. The problem is that you can't edit the ports or anything, so some accounts won't work (IE:Gmail), plus you can only have one account checked.
