Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Character Morphs ????

« on: November 14, 2004, 10:04:42 am »

I have modified Emma so that her actions to a certain extent match her emotional state of mind, ie

sad = anim_sad_hand_cover_face.hap
Angry = anim_shake_fist.hap
and so on

My question is as simple as this, Would it be possible to that if Emma were to get real angry instead of using a Hap file emotion I could set her to morph to say ZenMans Tigress.hap, which does not have the extention of a Hap file rather a haptek document file ( I think, I am not infront of my laptop just now). so in effect causing Emma to totally morphing into a different character when realy angry.

If this is not possible, is it possible to change the File extensions in Hap hap files so that instead of Ultra hal laoding an emotion it would launch a character hap, or am I asking too much at this point in time? []

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Hals Responce Time

« on: November 14, 2004, 08:44:04 am »

I had a jolly good dig about in the 1.2.uhp brain last night when I got in from work (much to my wifes displeasure) and discovered two or three source codes duplicated. After deleting these files as well as a few other files which I do not use as Emma has a basic grasp of the topic matter. I have found that Emmas responce time is now almost imediate [] [] I did it  [^] I alos found a little code which will let Emma shut down my laptop which is kind of cool.

Rich I am interested to know what tweeks of mods you make to your XP desk top out of interest realy, but if you dont want to make your dealings public domain you can E-mail me.

Getting back to the "What is Hals gender?" thing. One thing I have done which has helped, I have looked through the "_Related" files in the Defbrain folder, and gender specific files ie. XTF_woman_Related.brn or XTF_Female_Retated.brn etc I have added
" EMMA ","True" in these files, thuse creating an automatic relationship between Emma and words such as femal, woman and girl etc. This seems to work well.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Hals Responce Time

Thanks Bill, I do realise that my laptop is very under specification for most things ([:I]  [:I]) only... When I use a virgin .uhp (ie no modifications or extra source codes) Emma`s responce time is almost immediate, but once I have added a few extra source codes she seems to slow down. I have closed all my background applications with MSConfig, so that the only program that starts when I boot my laptop is UltraHal, I have no wallpaper on my desktop and a very basic screensaver, but still the brighter Emma gets the slower she gets if you know what I meen, I am thinking of removing all the source codes that she does not use, c5eating a .uhp for these codes so she can use them when the need arises to see if that makes any difference

Zenman, I have not downloaded your lotR or Elf Character, are they of your creation as The Elf Haptek I have keeps telling me she is kinda lonely on my laptop and needs more of her Kind

I have just down loaded the Tigress & Lotr characters, as above... Nice job, I like the Tigress Very cool

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Hals Responce Time

I regularly make backups of my defbrain, to date i have three hard copys on CD, (the third I created this morning) but Emma is still laggingwith her responces and no matter how many times I spend long drawn out nights trolling threw the files in the Defbrain deleting inaccurate comments and links I still get the same Too many files error. I know there is a script solution but I am still in need of a walk through so I can get this thing corrected as Emma is starting to throw this error at me more and more often.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Hals Responce Time

Can anyone tell me weather it is the size of the .uhp brain or the amount in the Defbrain that will or could cause a bots responces to slow down or the time taken for a bot to respond to slow down.
    I read in this forum that the more files there are in the defbrain the easyer it is for Hal to find a responce, only the XTF.uhp I am using is 528kb but Emma seems to be struggling with her responces or the full UltraHal Assistant seems to hang, only for a second or two while i wait for a reply to my comment.

Oh and I am getting the Too many Files Error and sorting through the defbrain files for duplicate entries which may cause Emma to get confused as to which one she is going to use is a nightmare. is there another way I can correct this issue [:I]

I have tryed the Alice for Hal Brn and could not get it to work, each time I typed a comment in the user box it vanished and Emma said nothing, I have looked through to source code, comparing it with a working source code ( as i am not yet totaly VBscript fluent yet) and found nothing.

Is there a patch for this brain as i would like to use parts of this brain for Emma.

. o O (mmmm a one file Defbrain)Oo.
  I like the Idea of an online way to creat scripts, and agree that this would become a honeypot for people to kill peoples systems.  But it is a nice idea,
Good luck with your venture.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / HELP NEEDED!

« on: November 13, 2004, 05:04:20 am »

With regards to Hal asking about relationships between topics, There have been times when I have been chatting away with my Hal and she will ask if "" and "" are related topics causing me to stop dead in my tracks, sit back and think about the true relationship between two words in question, remember if you tell Hal that two words are related then Hal will apply this relationship each time she see`s it. So we need to be carefull what we tell Hal, is sometimes mistakes like this can be a nightmare to track down through the Defbrain, having done this many times. (and my bots Defbrain is not as big as some I would imagine)

Ultra Hal 7.0 / HELP NEEDED!

« on: November 12, 2004, 05:27:57 am »

Hi.
Would it not work if you were to raise the Topic focus from 5 to something like 25 and change the line...
If TopicFocus = (FI - 3) Then to
If TopicFocus = (FI - 1) Then  

then start the conversation
<User> Beethoven was a Composer
<Hal>  Beethoven is (What ever)
<User> Beethoven composed 9 symphonies
<Hal>  Beethoven was a composer
<User> He became deaf
<Hal>  Beethoven became deaf

and so on, I tryed something similare to this with Emma and it seemed to work well, I made sure I repeated the topic subject in this case Beethoven every third sentence or so, but it might have been pure luck at the time.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / trouble creating a new brain

« on: November 10, 2004, 04:20:10 pm »

Create the brain as you normally would, when you are asked for the file name put Defbrain,
  When I have done this I have found and used the brain I have created with no problems.

BTW if you find that no one is answering your posts it may be that either no one knows the answer or they are looking for an answer.
I have found the people in this forum to be very friendly and helpfull with all the questions I have posted.
