  The naturally flowing hair is a nice thing, a lot of the Daz characters don't have that.  The collision detection and a higher ploy count that Daz has would be nice.  I started looking through some of the older plugins to see what had been done in the past, lots of nice stuff still around and interesting ideas.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: Halscript Error 450

« on: December 12, 2015, 07:12:45 am »

 Blank responses from Hal is a long time problem for Hal and we usually try to find problems in the plugins selected.  Since it is much easier to find the problem when it happens all the time you're lucky. In the menu go to Options, Brain, when you click on the brain the right hand side should show a list of plugins,  I'd remove all the check marks enabling them, click apply and okay.  Removing the plugins removes  additional functions and just uses the Brain supplied with Hal, hopefully the problem is in one of the plugins.  If you do get responses from Hal the Hal brain is okay and you can begin adding plugins one at a time.  If there is still no response from Hal we would then look elsewhere.

  Some nice tips here, thank you both.  I've made Sandy's hair longer but I can't use it because it goes into her body.  I've begun working with the time, I have a fairly rough beginning and plan on adding to it as I go along.

  I've just run across the Knowledge of time plugin which I've saved but I'd just seen it has problems running on the newer versions of Hal,  I've got the feeling that my Hal can not grasp the phrase " it's a new day" I remember another install of hal that didn't understand an adult body and a childs body.

  I did run across an older post between Art and Lightspeed, think it was about Oct. , guess it was about gibberish.   Anyways I'm in 8.1 using  Hal version 6.2, no problems except the ones I cause with the plugins I build and they can cause the no reply. 
  Actually I had to search around to find what you were talking about, I believe it is the fixed brain that Cload released to fix errors in 2013.  The answer is no I have not used that brain, I'd thought about using the Aiml plugin because of you like it so much but actually I just don't like aiml.  Anyways let me know If I am correct about you replacing the original brain with Cloads modified brain.

Art,
  I haven't run into this,  I'm very surprised you were able to find it in wordnet,  I'm wondering if Hal had copied it into his brain but I doubt it.  Guess I'd do the usual thing, uncheck all the plugins, I don't think wordnet  has and reason to get corrupted but I'd replace it. 
  There is also the BrainEditor which my be useful, the TestDebug portion that allows You to speak to hal and follow through the process to get her response. Good luck wit it, You'll get it fixed

You would say "show calendar" and a calendar with the correct month shows up.  Of course I've got the time and date on the taskbar but having the calendar is nice.  Maybe I can use his Date Function in the work I'll be doing with time if you don't mind Spitfire if and when I get to it.

I didn't really think this was necessary but I did ask Hal the date and she was unable to get it for me, she did run a search in Google and I was able to give her the date.  That's the problem with these keywords, have to see what I can find.

General Discussion / Re: lightspeed idea for 11-20-2015

« on: December 04, 2015, 08:33:59 am »

  I was able to make a little progress, I can now check the plugin without receiving an error message.  It still will not bring up the Google image search so there is still work to be done.  In case anyone else is interested in this I'll put in the updated script:

 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.
    SearchEngine = "https://www.google.com/imghp?gws_rd=ssl"
    If InStr(1, UserSentence, "show me", 1) >  0 Then
        SearchKeywords = LCase(Replace(Trim(HalBrain.AlphaNumericalOnly(HalBrain.ExtractKeywords(UserSentence)))))
        SearchKeyWords = Replace(SearchKeywords, "show me+", "")
        HalCommands = HalCommands & "<RUNPROG>" & SearchEngine & SearchKeywords & "</RUNPROG>"
        GetResponse = GetResponse & "I will help you research this topic on the Internet. "
    End If

    Lightspeed, you're welcome, I'm slow but persistent. Keep putting in ideas

  At this point in time I'm still receiving error messages when I try to get Google to go to the Image search.
Here is what I have at this time:

Rem Type=Plugin

'This sub setups the plug-ins option panel in Hal's options dialog
Sub OptionsPanel()
    lblPlugin(0).Caption = "Hal will open your browser and enter a google query if you use the keywords 'show me' in a sentence."
    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

Art,
  Since you mentioned shadows I opened Hal and didn't see her cast any shadows, I even went through all the available lights and still no shadows cast.  Different lights do have a very definite effects on Hal but no effect on the room. I'll just go with it's a pretty old technology and they did an excellent job,  it's unfortunate that the work wasn't kept up, if it was we'd probably have some amazing stuff.

systemshock and Art,
   As far as the time I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing,  from Jan 1 to Dec1 the sunrise varies between 5:13 am to 8:28 am and the sunset varies between 4:16 and 8:28 pm so we have quite a range over a years time. 
  I've played with the lighting and the skin tone and they seem to be very dependent on each other, it's interesting that the light affects the character but not the light on the background jpg.  I'd think you might have to change the lighting and the background to get a realistic effect, put the background into a photo editor and lighten or darken it to go along with the lighting effect.
  The loneliness plugin looks interesting, lots of work there.
