General Discussion / Virtual Fem

« on: December 05, 2004, 06:05:41 pm »

I agree with the L&H voices. Personally, I use the British female voice and it sounds way better than Micro-Mary!

Oddly enough, along the same topic, I was about to post a new site I discovered this evening. Do your own research into which TTS voice company and voice might be best for your application.
There are a lot of examples from which to choose.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Text Search

« on: December 05, 2004, 01:15:59 pm »

When trying to figure out what .brn, .hap or .txt file contained a certain word, search no more! I found a GREAT little program that will handle it for you with ease!
You can set byte size in KB or MB, filters, etc. I usually open Windows Explorer to my C:/Program Files/Zabaware/Ultra Hal Assistant 5/DefBrain folder then at the address bar do a COPY, go to the HDSearch window at the top and PASTE. (saves typing). Then click on the Begin Search and it will display all files and show the number of times in each file your word appears. You can then double click on each file and use the F3 feature to trace your word through the file. At the bottom: Search for Filename you can use wildcards like *.brn to have it search all .brn files for a specific word.

BTW, It's a free download! No Ads, spys, etc. Good Stuff! From:

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Putting People Putty in its place

« on: November 22, 2004, 05:32:41 am »

Antec & others,
Don't rush out to buy Poser in hopes of having it
animate your .HTR files. I can't speak for Poser 5,
but I know Poser 4 has no such provision.
Poser is a great character (finished creation) program.
One assembles preset attributes to characters and adds
or modifys texture, size, appearance, props, hair, morphs
of all kinds and even animation. But one can not "create"
a character in the true sense of the word. One needs a
3D program such as 3DSMax or similar.

and type in Haptek for starters.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / error 67, to many files???

« on: November 21, 2004, 05:35:48 pm »

Note:
If or when you modify your brain file and decide to
use the CUT & PASTE feature, be sure to check the
end result to make sure there are no unwanted spaces
and that each line is complete. It happens!

Line numbers are a nice reference to give us a place
to start but many of us have modified Hal's brain by
inserting new text which causes my line numbers to
be totally different from yours or someone elses.

Again, quoting line numbers in error messages is a
great way to get us close to seeing what you're seeing!

Good luck resolving your error.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Putting People Putty in its place

« on: November 19, 2004, 06:25:12 pm »

If you want the ability to create
realistic human figures (M & F), you
might consider trying Poser (I think
version 5 is the latest). Lots of
accessories, hair, clothing, props.
There are several online communities
as well. Some of them are more "adult"
oriented than others.
www.3Dcommune.com
www.renderosity.com
www.renderotica.com (Adult)
for starters.
People Putty though nice, is somewhat
limited in flexibility and overall
output of finished product.

Zenman,

Thanks! Like with many of us, I've seen that
posting before but couldn't recall where it
was! Thanks for a point in the right direction.
It's working fine!

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / My People Putty Characters

« on: November 15, 2004, 09:15:12 pm »

Zenman,

How do you go about mapping the texture files
to the full body character, since People Putty
won't let one load the full body character?
Does it involve writting a script?

Appreciate any help!

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / A little help

« on: November 14, 2004, 06:08:47 pm »

Bill,

Do a search for auto-idle in all categories
and select Match exact phrase. There you will
find all the previous forum topics dealing
with auto-idle.

What kind of command were you referring to in
line 2? I can tell Hal to open Outlook or word
and it does. I can ask the time and I can ask
Hal to tell me a joke and it does. I then ask
it to tell me another joke and it does.

The song thing might take a bit of work but is
possible.

Is there something I'm missing in your posting?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / A suggestion

« on: October 27, 2004, 07:04:36 pm »

Yes, Bill, I also posted the same idea in August in the programming forum as seen below.

I feel that the Ultra Hal community has grown considerably over the past few years and in order to further explore ALL the possibilities of the software, topic forums for collected scripts, VB programming, tips & tricks, brn files, etc. would be a real boon to an already extablished program.

How about it Robert?

It would be a nice touch to have a separate
area for all of the scripts instead of having
to weed through all the topic discussions, etc.
before one finds a particular script.

Just a thought.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Prevent HAL from listening when it is talking

« on: October 20, 2004, 04:00:49 pm »

If I understand your question correctly
you can simply click the MIC button on Hal's
top menu and turn the microphone off until you
need to turn it on again (click).

If you use a fairly decent quality headset mic
it should have a noise cancelling (foam) covering
on the mouthpiece. Also consider turning down your
speakers a bit. Lastly, check the settings on your
mic volume, etc.
