Nige, i've replied to your mail, hope that helps.
Edit: Oh, almost forgot, i think i used your hair on Celeste, many thanks.

And Thanks Jack. I must have been tired or something, because i forgot to horizontally flip both of those skins. I have now uploaded new zip files with corrected skins.
Here is another of my heads you might like ...

And still another. I hope you don't get tired of my heads. I'm having surgery Tuesday, so i may not be able to do much for awhile.

Share Conversations, Experiences, Graphics / Background Changer?

« on: October 04, 2009, 06:05:52 pm »

Ok, let's try again. Sometimes backslashes are not shown properly in this forum. This should be your hap file...

#Haptek Version= 1.00 Name= background_perk HapType= script FileType= text
##standard

\LoadBackground [file= data\standard\ackgrounds\PondBack.jpg]

And your background image should be in your backgrounds folder. The default path for me is "C:\Program Files\Haptek\player\Data\standard\ackgrounds".

Did you create a plugin file with a .uhp extension in your Ultra Hal folder with the following text?

Rem Type=Plugin
Rem Name=Pond
Rem Author=P
Rem Host=Assistant

'This sub setups the plug-ins option panel in Hal's options dialog
Sub OptionsPanel()
lblPlugin(0).Caption = "Various actions based on user keywords"
lblPlugin(0).Move 120, 120, 3300, 1000
lblPlugin(0).WordWrap = True
lblPlugin(0).Visible = True
End Sub


Rem PLUGIN: PLUGINAREA1
'The comment above tells Ultra Hal Assistant to insert the following code
'on-the-fly into the main brain code in the section referenced.

' Initialize variables
p_UserSentence = LCase(UserSentence)

'Choose location
If InStr(p_UserSentence, "pond") <> 0 Then
p_file = "Pond.hap"
BlockSave = True
GetResponseBlock = True
End if

If p_file <> "" Then
HalCommands = "<HAPFILE>" & p_file & "</HAPFILE>"
BlockSave = True
GetResponseBlock = True
HalBrain.ReadOnlyMode = True
End If

Hi Davy,

Still no luck. I used a jpg.titled PondBack as a test and named the hap pond.hap Still could not get it to work. I made sure all the file paths are correct. When I mention the trigger word "pond" I get nothing.

It works fine for me, not sure why it won't work for you.

Whenever you edit a plugin, you must take steps to activate the changes. What i do after making changes, go to options-brain, and disable the plugin, exit hal, restart hal, go to options-brain, enable the plugin, and exit hal. Then it should work the next time you start Hal. Seems like a lot of steps, but it's necessary after editing a plugin. Are you doing this?

Yes, just save the text with a .hap extension. I have a lot of haps, so i created a special "haps" folder inside my character folder. Therefore i use this path in the plugin ...
p_file = "haps/livroom.hap"

If you put the haps in the character folder, then you would use this path ...
p_file = "livroom.hap"

As for customizing the plugin script, of course you can add many entries to the plugin to make the character smile on command, display anger, etc. The only other thing i do besides calling hap files is changing the characters with this type of entry in the plugin ...

'Choose location
If InStr(p_UserSentence, "loadmelissa") <> 0 Then
p_file = "Melissa.htr"
GetResponse = "My name is Melissa."
BlockSave = True
GetResponseBlock = True
End if

The .htr files must be in your character folder. Works great. Notice you can make your character respond with a certain comment, so when changing backgrounds, you can do the same thing, for example, "Wow, this is a nice living room." or "Thanks, it's really nice outside." I think it should be possible to change hair, shirts, etc. but i haven't had time to explore this yet.

Your question about Hal utilizing the haps it comes with, yes i think it does, but i'm not sure how it works. Others can better explain that feature.

Hope this has been helpful.

Thanks.

 I haven't even touched the different hap files in Hal. My Hal character never utilizes any of them on it's own. That is, my characters basically stand there and talk. I have always wondered what all the hap files do in the characeter folder because like I said, I have never seen it utilize them in any way. I don't do any drag and drop stuff with Hal because it always seemed kinda lame to me to have to drag and drop files to interact with the character.

How would I go about incorperating this into my Hal?

I don't do drag and drop in Hal either, i use the above plugin to accomplish many things with simple trigger words. What exactly do you need to know in order to implement this?

It's not Tinman from Wizard of Oz, but he's made of tin nevertheless. I'll try to do a full body also, and if satisfied with it, then i'll upload the body skin.

Yes, that's possible, i have a plugin that will execute hap files based on user input. This is a sample hap file to load backgrounds ...

#Haptek Version= 1.00 Name= background_perk HapType= script FileType= text
##standard

LoadBackground [file= datastandardackgroundslivroom.jpg]

This is the path to my hap files ...
C:\Program Files\UltraHal6\Characters\haps

This is a sample of the plugin, it can be edited or added to, just change the trigger words to your liking.

You said that you were getting the 1,2,3 shape area part, right? The 1 shape area raises the head and makes the forehead higher. I hope that you can work with that function in an upcoming head.

I created a pretty female skin, and was playing around with the 1,2,3 shape thing, and this happened.
