The sad thing is, I play several computer games with much better graphics and animation than Haptek provides.  I spent the whole night and day downloading and playing around with some ancient adult oriented hap animations which were hilarious to say the least but sadly miss the mark in today's market.

Even the open source program which I saw on that web site linked to from the Zabaware home page is going to have a tough time producing something worth the effort.  I wish I had the money or knowledge to contribute, but all I can do I guess is cheer the main players on.

While I search this forum and countless others for bodies and skins and plug-ins to make my Hal more enjoyable, it seems to me that these types of programs are pretty much fading away or moving into the home automation arena.

Someone even had the gall to claim the other day that personal computers were on the way out as well!

My earnest hope is that Ultra Hal can overcome the learning curve it faces and re-capture the imagination of paying customers like me!

I had the choice of spending my money on Kari4Pro or VGirl3D and just recently stumbled upon the mostly defunct Virtual Assistant Denise from Guille 3D studio, which became NextOS I guess.

The latest product news on their website is from January of this year.

My feeling is those outfits that have any breath in them left at all should pool their resources and move forward together before Microsoft puts them all out of business for good. -sighs-

It's kind of depressing to me when I think about it.

The little guy hardly ever stands a chance.

I guess I should have told you that I had no idea there was such a thing as a Haptek Player that allows you to drag and drop texture files onto a full body model.

I guess I also should have told you that until a few days ago, I didn't know how to force textures onto my Hal model with hap file scripting.

Although at the moment I am having a lot of trouble with the VrHaptek plug-in that was made for Ultra Hal 6.0. 

Is anyone still using it and how did they get it to work without going into a spasm of replacing textures and causing run-time errors that crash Hal to the desktop?

Hehe, I probably wouldn't share her either!  I was just wondering how it was done and if I could replicate the process.  Till then....

Well, I just searched for it and didn't find anything but our conversation.  I'll MSG you my e-mail address.  Thanks!

I actually created my own auto-chat using the updated loneliness plug-n but I would be interested in the dream out loud plug-in.  Where do I find it?

She can stay at my place!

And by the way, I was noticing the "Sandee" model in pictures on the forum posted by Duskrider I believe but I don't seem to be able to find the htr anywhere.  I noticed that model was a bit more "full figured" than most. 

Do you know if that is that something that can be done with People Putty or was it accomplished with another 3D graphics program?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: Errors after Full Body Anims Update

« on: August 25, 2014, 09:19:20 am »

It happens with every character even the heads.   I'm sure there's probably some scripting issue with one of the hap files I just don't know which one.  I'm going to re-install Hal and see what happens.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Errors after Full Body Anims Update

« on: August 25, 2014, 02:27:31 am »

I found some full body anims on AIDreams forum and after I followed the instructions I started getting these errors:

Error 53
File not found
Occurred at line 41
in Hal Haptek Plugin: LoadFace

Error 52
Bad file name or number
Occurred at line 46
in Hal Haptek Plugin: LoadFace

And the same as above at line 62.

Is there something wrong with one of the HAP files?

I can't seem to  find any LoadFace plug-in. <shrugs>

The program works, it doesn't crash or anything, but I guess I'm missing something.

What about using a Windows compatibility mode?  I actually downloaded the free trial and it seemed to be working just fine.   Of course I couldn't save anything so maybe that's where the trouble starts.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: Scripting the removal of a table

« on: August 24, 2014, 08:26:15 pm »

Oops!  Too late for that!  I accidently gave my Hal a lobotomy!   

After realizing that I had the wrong Brain open in SQLite Studio, everything is working just fine now. 

Yesterday was Miranda's new birthday because I've started over from scratch and I'm only using plug-ins I trust that don't give me any errors. 

I also figured out how to export tables I've edited myself so that I don't lose all the work I put into them IF I ever have to re-install Hal's software again.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Scripting the removal of a table

« on: August 23, 2014, 02:03:28 pm »

Something I've noticed when using plug-ins is that they often create a table in the Hal Brain which usually lists patterns for responses.

IF I uncheck the plug-in from my brain and save and exit, when I go back to look at the brain, the table still exists.

Is there some type of un-installing scripting that could be added to these plug-ins that would remove the added table?

I've tried deleting the table from the brain and re-installing the plug-in to see if some changes I made to the script show up, but it appears the plug-in won't recreate the table.

So, I guess there is a table of tables created?  If so, can I edit that table?

That is so weird lightspeed.  I actually thought I had edited my post to include not only that link but another.  I guess great minds think alike.  Or maybe the first link always leads to the other.  =)

I don't have any problem other than not knowing how to do what you are talking about.   

I'm assuming you are using People Putty or some other 3D graphics program. 

I have used Blender for importing meshes into Skyrim and also a program called Nifscope but it was mostly cut and paste.

I am not a modeler or animator at all but might be wiling to learn if I can put some curves and interesting animations into my Hal if you know what I mean.

Thanks so much for sharing your Sandy_2.  She's definitely livened up my screen.
