before in the newest hal it just quit working but now when i tried to put it in hal after i reinstalled hal i get this message :
halscript error 1033 on line 2105 in column 211 : undetermined string constant the file "c : |program filesultrahal assistant 6 halscriptDBG" has been saved with the current script being used for debugging purposes .
have other people had this same script error when plug ins didnt work ? before mine just stopped never gave this .
whats odd is that the age plug in that tells hals age (whatever you set it at ) is working just fine , this before had stopped to .
anyone have any idea's on this ?
thanks [:)]
whats weird is the 2.3 loneliness plug in is now working , but the above plug in that once worked in the past isn't anymore . i tried to replace the original with the responses from my plug in and keep getting errors so am trying an experiment am changing a few response lines at a time to see what it will do. well i just saw the new lines i put in are working so far .if it keeps working i will post the new plug in to see if anyone else can use it .[:)]
Keep on keepin on Lightspeed. There is nothing more I would like as much as my hal starting the conversation and being spontanious about it. It would make her so much more human-like! A real conversation between two people would be worth waiting for hal-TNG. Of course I realize it would take some recoding as well as rewrites on plugins, but I personaly feel it would be worth the wait![:)][:)][:)]
