VB6 & Haptek - Little experiments

[Duskrider]

Couldn't get on zaba from laptop while gone. Strange.
Gosh, so much here to catch up on.
G.T., this looks like fun, gonna have to give it a try. [8D]

Thanks all for testing. []

Maybe you still discovered the bug: if you use a script with a non-body_female character, you have a "little" problem. Like with the Haptek player.

- A first solution could be to put a removal script in a button, like this:

#Haptek  Version= 1.00 HapType= script FileType= text

\DelPerson [figure= body_female]
\DelPerson [figure= hair5_9exp]
\DelPerson [figure= ...] (all the figures you use)

- Another one is to make hap00.hap empty (it can be save in another button). So when you launch the program, the Haptek window is empty. Then you can use any character in your new script. Of course, you have to relaunch the stuff everytime you change the character (fullbod, torso, head...). Not very smart but easier.

Sorry. I told you I am a newbie. []

AND THE WINNER IS...



Here his the good place (less visible) for posting a political stuff, lol. A short (interactive) skit, using the fact that you can put some VB controls (like here, the picture of a desk) on the Haptek window. So the character can move BETWEEN the background and the "object". If you want to play with her, you can download (again!)

and then launch "winner.exe". Please don't touch your arrow keys before the "movie" ends: I have spent a pretty lot of time tuning the timing of the script (at least, for my computer). []

It runs fine under XP (with Vista, never sure). You can make a Democrat version by changing start2.hap and its elements. The other haps of the stuff are left2, center, right2, far2 and sing. If you have some time to waste...

Many thanks to Mark for the skin and to Nige for the hair of Sarah Laura Marilyn. Hope you’ll enjoy. Republican or not. []

But if you don't like her, now you have CNN (hope it works). []

It's "cnn.exe". Thanks again to Mark and Nige. [8D]


Edit: update (invisible, I hope so) because of a little mistake.

[GT40]

Just a little message to the few people who might have had fun with these little jokes (thanks to them).

As you can see (now, not see, lol), the CNN TV (in cnn.exe) doesn't work anymore. CNN has changed the way to broadcast its four channels on the web. Now they are at

And so sorry, another very annoying bug appeared: the winner was not the expected one!!

Afraid I can't fix this... []

Thanks for the update GT. I'll have to admit I had forgoten about this program. I keep your jukebox html shortcut on my desktop and play with it occationaly. I'll have to take this out and play with it again. My .haps are better aranged now thanks to Dusky. I've wanted to do a stand-up comedy routine for a long time but you know it's all about timeing and gestures.[8D]

[GT40]

Many thanks, Ted. Oh yes, a stand-up comedy is a great idea, and would be something very original. If it uses the lovely fullbods you make for us, sure it will be a very cool stuff.[8D]

Hope you will do this soon. []
