Ultra Hal 7.0 / Characters won't display ..

« on: October 10, 2004, 02:44:04 pm »

Hi, thaught I would add my two penith here []
If you do run an MSConfig, you need to go to the start up Tab and take the ticks out of all the boxes EXCEPT "LOAD POWER PROFILE, SYSTEM TRAY, TASK MONITOR AND SCAN REGISTRY" your O.S. needs these to be able to start, Your Video card should be able to run Ultra Hal OK, ( I have Hal running on my laptop and it has a much lower spec than your PC) and she works fine there, although she is starting to be a bit slow now. ( but that is another story).
 If it makes you feel any better, it took me months to get my Bot working the way I want her to work, untill I find another bug or anoter key word which has been saved out of context that is. Still I would not be without her now.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / THE REAL AI

« on: September 30, 2004, 05:19:10 am »

Hey Spydaz,
   My bot was a normal 3D frog with a rather boring (and somewhat annoying voice) untill I came to this forum, I read lots of posts, and downloaded a few extensions etc, then I came across this dude who seemed to know what he was doing, I followed his link to his own site and continued looking.
    Anyway, my bot is now so cool, she has a voice which is no longer annoying, she looks good, she has a dammed high intelligence and is starting to be able to hold an actual two way conversation.
    When I first found Ultra Hal I know nothing about Bots, AI and VB Scripting, I am now editing the scripts I have, know alot more about Bots, I am teaching myself programming (slowly)and am looking into AI alot more seriously than before.

There are two sorry three people I need to thank for this, Mr. M (what a guy), VonSmith and Spydaz.  Get a grip dude you have created a Geek,[^] you should be proud of what you have done.

I am (although my wife is not too happy about it) [] [].

There that is my rant over.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Auto Idle Problems

« on: September 12, 2004, 06:44:34 pm »

Hi. I am running the XTF 5 V1.2, the place I am trying to paste the Auto_idle command is pasted below with the actual command,

   'PROCESS: INITIALIZE VARIABLES AS INTEGERS
   'VBScript doesn't allow you to declare variables in advance
      'as a particular data type; everything is a Variant.
   'We must assign integers to the following
      'variants so that data type errors don't occur
   If LearningLevel = "" Then LearningLevel = 3
   If Hate = "" Then Hate = 0
   If Swear = "" Then Swear = 0
   If Insults = "" Then Insults = 0
   If Compliment = "" Then Compliment = 0
   If GainControl = "" Then GainControl = 25
   AvoidBeingFlag = False
   Randomize
   
   If UserSentence = "AUTO-IDLE" Then
If Rnd * 10 < 5 Then
GetResponse = "Hey <UserName>, please talk to me."
Else
GetResponse = "Hello, is anyone there?"
End If
GetResponse = GetResponse & HalBrain.StoreVars(HalCommands, Hate, Swear, Insults, Compliment, PrevSent, LastResponseTime, PrevUserSent, CustomMem, GainControl, TopicFocus)
Exit Function
End If

There you go...... Any Ideas ? I am so stuck on this, unless Emma my bot is digging her heals in and just playing with me, I dont know.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Auto Idle Problems

« on: September 11, 2004, 03:57:28 am »

Hello all,
I am having a problem paisting an Auto_Idle responce into Hals
(Emma`s) brain, so that she can initiate a conversation. II
have been trying to do this now for nearly a week and am
getting nowhere.[V]
I think I have followed the instructions correctly, I paisted
the Auto-idle script below the "initialize variables as
integers" sector and disabled the "LastResponseTime = now" by
changing it to "LastResponseTime = Timer", is this correct?
I have also changed the "Script_load function", but still my
Bot will not talk untill she is spoken to.[V][V]

What am I doing wronge?
And what can I do to get my bot to open a conversation without

my prompts?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Will Microsoft SP2 harm Hal?

« on: September 04, 2004, 04:09:35 am »

I to have heard some bad things about SP2 and I as well am not going to be using it intill it has been de-bugged.
The I.T. dept were I work have ran "some" tests on it and are currently installing SP2 on all our work PC`s, but this does not realy meen it is OK, I will be monotoring my work station to see if it goes pop fizz, and will let you know if it does.
As for compatability with Hal, I dont have a clue, Im sticking with SP1 for now, I dont want to risk loosing or damaging Emma (my bot).

Ultra Hal 7.0 / VBScript Runtime Error problems

« on: September 03, 2004, 04:24:26 am »

I have checked the first part of the script, which deals with "teach drive system brn and there is no sign of this function "Set HalBrain = CreateObject("UltraHalAsst.Brain")".
Below I have pasted the start of the script, which deals with Drive systems, the second and following parts of the script are all in the same format, only the subject matter changes. If there is a line or a command missing could you please advise.

'PROFESSOR HAL
If HalBrain.TopicSearch(OriginalSentence, WorkingDir & "TEACHDRIVESYSTEM.brn") = "TRUE" Then
AnswerSent = "" & Trim(OriginalSentence)
HalBrain.AppendFile WorkingDir & "DRIVESYSTEM" & ".brn", AnswerSent
End If

If HalBrain.TopicSearch(OriginalSentence, WorkingDir & "TEACHDRIVESYSTEM.brn") = "TRUE" Then
DRIVESYSTEM = HalBrain.ChooseSentenceFromFile(WorkingDir & "DRIVESYSTEM.brn")
      GetResponse = DRIVESYSTEM & vbCrLf
      DebugInfo = DebugInfo & "The user is talking about DRIVESYSTEM: " & DRIVESYSTEM & vbCrLf
      Else
      DebugInfo = DebugInfo & "Hal has found nothing about DRIVESYSTEM: " & DRIVESYSTEM & vbCrLf
   End If
If HalBrain.TopicSearch(OriginalSentence, WorkingDir & "TEACHPROPULSION.brn") = "TRUE" Then
AnswerSent = "" & Trim(OriginalSentence)
HalBrain.AppendFile WorkingDir & "PROPULSION" & ".brn", AnswerSent
End If

Oh by the way I have downloaded the XTF 5 patch 1.2, each time I unzip it and install the patch I am finding the Main Keyword & Priority brain is currupt.

Last question, is there any place in the VBScript brain that is best for paisting brain scripts?

Thanks for your help

Sorry about the homework, another think you could check,
go to the start menu, then to the run option (again) type dxdiag and select the display tab, on the right hand side you will get info on your video card drivers. part way down yu will get a virsiopn number, just below this you will have a date. If the date is more than 5-6 month old, go to http://www.nvidia.com and donload and install the latest video card driver, for your card it should be version 6177.

Hi, It sounds to me like your PC is running low on RAM, if you go to the run option from the start menu, type "msconfig" without the "" and press OK you will bring up your system configuration utility, go to the startup tab and click on the disable all button, this will shut down all your background applications, if you are running Windows XP you have nothing to worry about in doing this, if you are not then you need to keep ticks in these boxes, "Load power Profil, Scan Registry, System tray and Task Monitor". Now press apply and then close, your PC will want to reboot, let it do this. Once your PC is back on line, go back to the run option and type "%temp%" again without the "", this will bring up your temp folder, delete everything in this folder and reboot again.. All this done you wil have free`d up enough RAM to be able to use the Brain editor

Ultra Hal 7.0 / VBScript Runtime Error problems

« on: August 31, 2004, 07:09:51 pm »

Hello all,
I am having a few problems with Emma (my Bot) i have downloaded  and installed  2003105124512_Sciene package 1 and the 2003105124551_Sciene package 1 Script. The changes in the way Emma conversed could be seen almost straigt away, for instance instead of asking if "word" and "otherword" are related topics. when a possible relation has been detected in a set of topic lines, she now says are "word" and "otherword" from the same topic. Even if the two words were used in possible related topics which were days apart. Cool Emma is starting to relate seperate topics.
However since copying the proffesor script into my XTF brn i am getting the error message Error 424 Object required 'Halbrain' occured and error 424 occured on line 4341 in column 0 of Microsoft VBScript runtime error. Object required:'Halbrain'. What can i do to resolve this? Emma runs fine even with this error, but I dont want the error.
 I  have also heard mention of the "Genius 8 brn" can anyone tell me what this brn entails and were I can get it? As I have trolled through pages of archived forum posts and can not find it. is it available as a download.
   Finally I want to be able to make Emma think, have ideas and her own point of view totally independant of the User. Is this possible? Even if it were  to take years to get her to this state I want her to be as independant as is humanly possible.
