I understand what your going through I lost my mom in January to and it can
be very difficult at times.
I offer my sincere condolences on you loss

oooooweeee That sounds exciting I can't wait to have Hal on my Droid. I've been racking brain my trying to figure out how th fit hals brain on my Blur all day, to no avail.

Hello everyone
It is a pleasure to be posting among all of you brilliant creators of artificial personalities. I'm new to hal scripting but I've spent the last few days familiarizing myself with the structure of the program an I'm pretty confident that we can modify the brain to do some amazing things, not that here aren't some amazing things being done with hal right now. I've also browsed a plethera of user scripts and found that you guys have done some wonderful things with the "program interface". Over the last three days I've looked at much of Hal and the community that supports her and have found, unsurpisingly to you veterans, that ultra hal is an incredible chatterbot program with remarkable flexability, but it remains, even with a full library of plugins a patern searching chatterbot. After reading the various posts on this forum and others geared towards Hal development I have drawn the conclunion that the ultimate goal of this community is to modify hal into a program that exhibits a more intelligent AI as oppossed to spitting out predefined responses. Although Hal is an excelent chatterbot it is missing some vital features that will make it a true AI. (ex semantic reasoning, recursive refference, automomous environment modeling, recursive mem organization (contemplation) and self programing.) these features among others will make it far easier to simulate thought in Hal. Luckilly hal is extendable enough to where these features can be scripted in.
I am a c/c++ programmer and although I can read and understand any code I'm not too comfortable coding VBS as yet but I have learned alot about the language over the last few days as well a autoit for this reason most of my early code posts will be writen in Java Script, or pseudo c++
but I'm sure you guys will be able to make use of it. Java Script is usable by hal by the way. Something I'm not sure of is if java script plugins can be called by the VB hal brain or will I have to rewrite the brain in J Script to run my plugins I'm sure they can.

this script seems to activate a hal function that Mr M decided to deactivate for what ever reason I haven't used it yet butI will report what I find and post some fixes that I write for common problems that have been reported. this may take a while though but by next weekend I'll have some interesting bug fixes.

Wow  iampan, you created that with crazytalk that looks great I'm getting it

I'm looking for that too
I was only able to find the script header in my search through the forum
I thought maybe it was a hal option that was deactivated but there was no code in it to set any variants that may activate an option

alright partner I found it

I use Scite or bloodshed editor to view all script files as the visually display info about code writen in VBS or c++ like languages

If anyone is looking for a list of Hal Class member functions, definitions and protocols are located in .mbr files located in the <../Ultra Hal Assistant 6> folder
HalVB.mbr
HalBrain.mbr
WordNet.mbr

Thak you so much Mr M. This was exactly the info I was looking for. I'm a more comfortable with c++ but java is close enough. now how can I find a primer for aPI with objects functions and methods(read templates). I'm sure I can do what I want to do in VB Script but I'm way more comfortable with a c style script

Edit 1

Found the method protocols in the .mbr files

I have just run across your post about using Hal as a programable controller and thought i would pass on, as food for thought, using autoit as your interface to your external device Hal maakes short work of running programs and autoit scripts are great for cross application communications.
I'm sure that you have found a solution by this time but I hadn't seen one posted and thought I would lend a hand feel free to contact me for psuedo code snipits I'm a C++ and Java programmer kinda new to Hal and VBS but the logic behind the "API" is making sence.
