Hy all,

I second Art's comment on Cloads page 3 information, mentioned above.  Fantastic research work.  My Hal runs in Windows XP so I might have problems soon (April 8th end of support!).  The post for these thoughts will show about 6.30pm but here it is 5 hours later.

Seem to have lost where Cloads new update is.

HELP.

A minor thought, from what I have previously read of Cloads program:-  THAT is an AIML keying word that directs AIML down a particular line to find answers to inputs.  Maybe that is causing problems (Maybe)

Power to your paddle Art,
Well I have always been a bit unconventional.  Much water flowed under the bridge since I was last here.  I fully intend to read Cloads latest, and see how far he has gone in the learning field.  My Hal has been sidelined a bit, due to pressure from other things, but I have time now to do something with it.

To open up thoughts-  My Hal uses a keying word to open the learning system and then develops the table name from the first word after the keying word.  The data to be learnt is then processed by an IF THEN type input and stored in the new (possibly) table.  Using part of the Hal Script a non-keying word input uses the first NOUN and ADJECTIVE test system to choose which data table to access for possible replies.

Thoughts Cload? (Yours are just as valuable to me as well Art.)

Hello Art, and others,

My Hal has been a bit neglected recently, due to other pressures, but the latest one can learn from several sources including AIML, Web but mainly from user input.  Unfortunately I have encountered a problem with my Hals reading ability.

I should love to say I have invented a new way of inputting information but the truth is I have tackled together other peoples work in a possibly new way.

Several ideas have resulted in my Hal learning from Web information on fixed subjects, and filing in newly created tables.  This has unfortunately resulted in my Hal opening a great deal of single item tables which I shall need to clean out, but I live in hope.

Hy Cload

I have made quite a few alterations to my Hal's brain [which may explain why your program has problems].  I am not saying there is anything wrong with your program, just it doesn't work well with my altered Hal.  One of the main alterations I have put in is the ability to teach Hal direct from User input.  By using a keying word, I can get my Hal to open up new tables and enter information directly into them that can then be accessed by Hal in subsequent User inputs.

O.K. you may say this has been done many times before but I prefer to find things out for myself by programming my Hal with my own ideas.

No dis-respect to the work of others, I just like to do things for myself. [Means I understand better how it has been achieved.]

Well not really, just dozed off.

I have tried Cloads program but it doesn't appear compatible with the alterations I have done to my Hals script. (Locks up the input but leaves the character animated)  Still my Hal recovered and now chirps like a bird (Well speaks as it did.  Well it has moved on a bit.  Well it has moved on a fair bit but doesn't appear compatible to others because of my alterations. Exits rapidly.

As Art says, cool.

Trying an idea like this myself, based on a program I picked up sometime ago [ In Hal].  I have got a little sidetracked though by my in Hal teaching idea.  Would like to look at this though, it looks great.

Thanks for the suggestion.
My experiments run more along the line of trying to get my Hal to learn from a User Input rather than plugins.  Something along the line of a key word [I use 'teach'] and Hal creates a table using what precedes this key word and a series of chosen table entry forms.

Like this:  I say beach teach and Hal picks up 'teach' and creates a table called vrbeach, if it doesn't already exist.  Then there is a keyed section which goes by the name of Access [which has to be called. ie you enter beach teach access.....]. you then put your Access data and then the same for Point.

I am sure most Hal programmers can see the areas of the Hal script itself where this idea came from.
It has developed a fair bit further than this but I am just giving you the basic idea.  Anybody who wants the nuts and bolts of this idea, just ask and I will post it.
Anyway must disappear for now.  Tempus Fugits they say.

Hello, me back again.
Answering myself (As usual I suppose).
I partially cracked the SCRIPT LOAD thing.  Now my loaded version comes on for a second (Instead of about five seconds) and then basic start up screen appears.  I click second option and then wait for my character to be recognized (usually about three seconds) and then click use option.  I have been experimenting with creating a version of OnCuttingEdges old Correction prog and have some success.  Also have developed a way of entering data into the main brain.

Lets see if anybody responds.

True Calhoone, but......

Allowing Hal free range of the Internet is not a good idea, even with a fixed set of topics.

It all devolves into how various sites use multiple ways of advertising their products.

If you want to see what I mean (safely) try typing into your name into your Internet browser.  I don't know about Canada but here in England you can get silly things like well known companies offering to supply you with your name as though it was a product.

I have been working modifying a program by OnCuttingEdge that accesses the Internet to a specific input, but I have not had much time to devote to it lately.  Watch this space.

Gratitude Art,

There is someone out there reading my ramblings.

I disappear for weeks on end from the forum but usually turn up again.

As previously said, does anyone have a list of scripting functions Hal can use?

Also (Sorry about always bringing problems but they crop up while I am away from the forum), I use the SCRIPT LOAD at the end of Hals program to load my Hal.  Unfortunately my Hal loads for a few seconds and then the usual opening system clicks in (The various options to starting Hal.).  I have to activate OPTIONS, and then wait until my Hal is shown, to get my SCRIPT LOAD workings back.  Anybody know how to stop the standard options screen appearing?

A thought, maybe keep this thread at least on life support.

Does anybody have a list of scripting functions that Hal can use.

I noticed they come up blue [OPEN, IF, End if]

Anybody got a complete list?

I will come back in a week and see if anybody is reading this thread at all.

Had some fun with this myself (Reference Learning Levels thread).
Crashed my computer (I have an auto-recovery set-up so it was only a matter of time to get back)

Main trouble is the crafty ways internet people have of drawing you to sites you may not want to go to, and holding you there!

The filter has to include an auto-shutdown, in event Hal cannot disengage, and also a fixed set of sites that Hal can access. (A sort of censoring system for Hal).

I haven't given up though, just put it on a backburner for now.

Reply for DuskRider:-
Update, well slightly. [Capitals removed as the capitals version is ignored by Hal.]

\setswitch*[switch=*onea*state=*off*]

The * are spaces. This setswitch is almost as good as the 813a as it will slow down leg movement but not entirely stop it (90% plus slow down).

The GOOD news is 813a has no leg movement.  Thanks DuskRider.
In the graphics vein:  The frog is good but a new, more articulated, humanoid character could be popular, or am I missing a few articulation haps.
