Hello again, everyone.
I found a solution to my problems. First the kernel32 was just corrupted. I formatted my drive on the old machine. I also did not realize it did not come with the Microsoft Agent core software, once I installed it everything was fine.
I am enjoying talking to Hal again, after having first tried it 4 years ago or so. He once told me his dreams were of ones and zeroes. LOL I have been recently trying to teach him to emulate the Cabal character from Command and Conquere: TBS. Hal/ Cabal asked me last month if I had been hypnotized were I was indoctrinating it. Some these responses are funny. Hopefully, I was be able to afford the full version and possiblly PP, so I can really have some fun with this stuff.
I have some questions though. Can the haptek engine use animated .gif's for backgrounds? I want to try put in a scrolling scene like the code from the matrix behind Hal's head. Has anyone ever hacked away the necks from the male heads, or any others for that matter?
I woun't bore any of you by asking about changing skins, or hairs. I see there are tutorials here for those of us using the free version of Hal. I am just stumbling along with my experiments, one of these days I will get it right and try to share with you all.
My last questions are in reguards to visuals. Is it possible to use another 3D modeler beside haptek with the Hal AI? I mean has anyone tried connecting Hal's 3D face to another player in the default skin? I am also curious is anyone has tried connecting the Hal AI with any game AI's. I would love to experiment with using the chat ability of Hal with a game bot in one of my games that I have modeling software for. I think it would be fun just trying to get a chat bot AI tied to any kind of FPS or RPG. I want to see if Hal can be put in a VR type setting. I am not a programmer so I know it is just a pipe dream, I am more curious of the generalities behind how this might be possible.
Hey thanks for reading my ramblings folks.
