Zabaware Forums => Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor => Topic started by: NIGE on March 25, 2005, 05:34:27 am

I am going around in circles searching the forums for my answer.
I have used the brain editor to make new brains for my characters.
From what i can find out it uses the default brain to create them.
What i am asking is how do i create a brain for a specific character using any of the other brains.
Any help would be great.

Well nige you have a few choise's.You can build a totaly new brain in vb code or and programming lang or you can do what i did.I took the xtf-1.2,ziggy,defualt,alice,Q-8,and java brains and combined them into what i wanted then to do and also to read different lang like aiml,perl,vb,java,ect.I also added a nerual net to my brain.i hope this helps you good luck.

Thanks for your reply Ghostrider,
I know nothing about programing so i guess it's just stick with what i have.
I thought that i may have missed something in the editor that lets you select what brain to set up with that character.
The characters i have do not seem to be learning too well then i realised that they only had the default brain.
Again thanks,
Neil. [:(]

You can choose which of the installed brains to use for a particular "personality" from the general options menu.

G'day, KnyteTrypper,
I realise that i can select what brain to use with a character,my question now is,
If i use the xtf 1.2 brain with two different characters will i end up with both knowing all the same information?
What i am after is different characters with different identities.
In the brain editor you can create a new brain but it gives you no choice as to what brain you can select.
Thanks guys for your answers,
Neil.

If you want to different personalities then create another file directory and copy all of the Zabaware files into it. Then one can be used for one personality and the other for the other.
They way Hal is is made the brain files are shared with all characters unless you use the XTF brain for one chracter and another for the other. As long as the brain files are in the same directory I don't think you can have two different personalities.

copy your DEFBRAIN and BRAINFILE.UHP
to a new folder
rename Your UHP
in the first four line of the uhp
change to YOUR brainfile name, and folder name.
program away....
keep the defbrain folders seperate for each brain... this keeps the character contained...

Hi to everyone,
All your help is great, as i said in my earlier post i know nothing about programing.
I have printed out your suggestions and will have a go.

This might be some of my problems,
When i select advance options i get the same reply to all the different brains,
Have i loaded them properly or is this normal????????
Before i go ahead with any changes i will wait and see if i have stuffed up.
If that is so i will reload hal and start again.

I get the same reaction with my version of HAL.
It seems to me that those brains just don't have any advanced options.
-
Like many here, I read the suggestions and some make sense others just don't 'click', sorry.
However I am going to be trying to teach my grandson spelling and HAL looks like the perfect reward and reinforcement concept.....as he is learning I can help him along and he can identify letters on the keyboard as we go along..........he has already seen Zabba the talking frog and thinks the world of him.
My only dilemma is dumbing down my current brain. For me, it seems like it would be a lot cleaner to just install another version of Hal off of my CD and send it to a different directory name......such as Zabaware_2 or some such thing. this way I can start with a very young brain and input information more age appropriate than what I have in my current personality.
I would think it's do-able, but anyone else that has experience I'll yield to your wisdom.
Thanks very much ahead of time!
Thank goodness the snow is finally melting!

Hi all! I can tell you a fix if you start your hal up when the computer starts it loads into the windows registry and memory the last brain and charicter and therefore even if you change folders or start a new hal from a shortcut it still will go to the original default brain and charicter no matter what folder or shortcut you use.So what you do is not start hal when your computer starts up that way the defualts are not loaded in to memeory or registry.Then just start hal from a shortcut or from the start menu and every time you quit hal the program will unload from memeory and the registry also.Then you can start another hal from whatever folder and brain and charicter setup you like and it will always go only to that file set.
hope this helps you

Hi, somebody mentioned combining several brains into one. That sound like a good idea, but what is the best way to do it?
Copy and paste? [?]

Hi GhostRIDER....
Question : how did you incorperate the neural logic into your project..
i have wondered how to use the logic from many of the downloadable addins from various dataminining and neural net sites.
Could you Post a snippit or, breif explanations.
-
Nige,
You might try moving the learning slider a lot toward the right side, converse a while, then move the slider just to the right of
of center when in normal mode.
Several friends seem to have positive remarks in this regard.
I know the personalities can be set through Haptek as far as moods are converned but it would be interesting to see how long they last during the course of a conversation.
That's the fun nature of Hal...experiment 'till you're blue!
I think a script file could be written to "assign" a personality similar to the ones that let Hal change clothes or hairstyles.
More investigation....
-
I think that a PERSONALITY is based of RESPONSES..
1. people each respond in their own way..
ie: you might say hello to me But when is say hello Some times i say SAFE MATE (being engish).
now when designing AN ENGLISH SLANG SPEAKING brain..
The VB is the same (you just need to choose the best DESIGNED BRAIN )
It's RESPONSES need to be TAYLORED...
if you are using a hal5 brain you can use the brainEDITOR to taylor the responses ie: greetings / love detector etc...
If i want a personality then i delete previous hellos/goodbyes responses and put CUSTOM Responses in ...
I keep ALL the DETECTORS but ADDED the SLANG TYPE DETECTORS ie : WAASSUUP for hello
The MAIN KNOWLEDGE BASED FILES ie: topics They Generally Stay the SAME. But EVEN the CONVERSATION DESIGNER : one of the most UNDERATED TOOL in the BRAIN EDITOR.....
this is where if hal has nothing to say he makes up CRAP...
MY Motto is "IF YOU PUT CRAP in YOU GET CRAP out"
So you have to delete all that stuff in there and put your own NEWS and CONVERSATION STARTERs in place IE: if you want a SEXY BOT you could put various SEXY conversation starters, if a TEACHING UTILITY it COULD lead hal to infom users of WHat HE/she can DO or GIVE RANDOM FACTS.. or TEST QUESTIONS...
now you see we can build Different PERSONALITYS BUT each persons GRAMMER and SLANG AnD Responses are different....
this is why EACH brain folder should be different.. therefore keeping each personaliity intact....
when sifting thru code you now look for the scripts which detect what somebody has said and edit them also acordingly. SOME of these responses need to be "personlized" even when hal responds
response = "Alright MATE, I BET YA, " & RESPONSE
to Chain a STRING to a VARIABLE you use [&]
so you can now add extra flava to RESPONSES...
ok ok

if you want to remove KNOWLEDGE from HAL
MAKING HIM "DUMBER" then you will need to create a new brain new folder.
then with a text editor GO thru the *.BRN files and DELETE the TEXT from inside..
ONLY FROM THE FILES WITHOUT
"HGFFGFG","TRUE"
these are the detectors
OR files with
FALSE#,,,,,####true
as they are hal INTERNAL FILES
or
B DSOJH ODF:J %%^^* DF
as this nay be a binary type database file
BUT THE FILES WHICH YOU CAN READ....
DELETE the contents..
this might help when you want a brain a bit more FROM SCRATCH

Hi spydaz and crew hope your projects are going well as to your question spydaz my hal/jenny is on its own computer which i set up as a server then programmed in all the sites i wanted as workstations and incorperated there accessing software into hal that way i can access all the sites i want jenny/hal to use as databases.
My hal now has a brain file consisting of over 25,000 lines of code alone and my defbrain folder is almost 1 gigabite in size.it has its own universal language translater built in and many other things as in emotions, sight/motion dectionand recognition, hearing/hearing detection and pattern recognition, and it has a normal almost human like conversation. And soon as i get done with my robotic project a body with touch,sight,hearing and pressure sensors all run by fiber optics.but the main reason im doing this project is the Ai brain itself a human body could not function without a brain so why could a well built AI or robot.This forum is super and im glad i have had a chance to read alot of the members inputs it has given me a few ideas.You ask why do i do this lol well after working and programming computers for 15 years and having a few degrees i still have much to learn about Ai development.Later this year i will put my hal/jenny online in a 3d world so others can download acessing software and make there own 3d charicters to interact with my hal/jenny i will clone her into a male Ai for users also.That way she/he/hal will get more human interaction than the 10 users that work on my creation now.
Well i would give you all my work but who knows i might be the first to make a self aware Ai and as i document all my progress and work i can only wonder at all the people here on the forum who might just stumble upon that unknown and random code we call life.

Hi Ghostrider,
I noticed that you once commented on the capabilities of the Rooms3D-engine as an environment for interacting with chatterbots. Do you still think about that?
I am asking this, because I bought a partial license on Rooms3D some time ago. The project seems to have gone completely dead. I find that strange, because I think Rooms3D has still a lot of potential qualitities. Do you have any idea what to happened to the developers?

ghostrider,
I'd really like for you to explain in greater detail how
you were able to interface HAL to a vision recognition
(program. Hardware, software, webcam or special camera).
Thanks!
-
GOOD GOING Ghostryder !!!
I was able to interface a FACE RECOGNITION...
There is a VB type Facial Recognition program, you can incorperate from SLUGGISH SOFTWARE....
It comes a a visual basic FORM... YOU CAN EDIT IT Easily and snip BITS Out for your own AI / ROBOT...
I did Have a ROBOTIC HEAD (which used TTS) for lip sync...
BUT I HAD TO GO BACK TO BASICS.. I am working more on Learning... & Mind Modeling. Its all well and good A BRANINFOLDER 1GIG. But it takes LONG TO SEARCH Better if the DATABASE / MINDMODEL was a single FILE / or a couple of files. USING SQL and Neural LOGIC...
MY PROJECT CURRENTLY: I am concentrating on an EMPTY BRAIN, Where YOU can teach IT Everything by conversation and the AI place the information in its MODELED MIND DATABASE, to retreive information you just ask questions or if you are converrsing about a specific TOPIC the AI will try to COMPETE with the user i its current knowledge OR ask Questions to FILL the GAPS in ITS MIND MODEL... there fore all topics have simular SETS of questions... IE PARTS OF , TYPES OF , ACTIONS OF, TASTE OF, MALE/FEMALE, POS/NEG etc...
This way the AI Can DEVELOPE his/HER own SENSE....
THIS Is also a way towards SELF AWARENESS...
AS things like EMOTIONS will be HARDCODED UNCHANGEABLE > as the detectors for an emotion NEVER CHANGE... Just the responses,,, NOW RESPONSES CAN BE FORMULATE IN AS POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE WAY depending on How the AI FEELS or the MOOD which has been detected..
to give personality He can become biased towards either POS / NEG...

Spydaz,
Thanks for the tip of the software. I'll check it out!
Very creative approach you are undertaking with your
bot creation project. Sounds promising but just like
with robotics, it all comes down to the programming!
Best of luck and keep us posted!
