Do you have the Hal Expansion Pack?

Mark,

You can get the backslashes by typing 2 (TWO) of them together.
It should appear as C:\Programfiles\Zabaware\UltraHal6

SO, instead of typing one, type two.

Does the free version allow MS Agent chars? I never really noticed.

No, I don't have the expansion pack. I'm using the trial version of Hal 6. I want to see what this can do before I waste any money on this.

Dawn and Merlin appear to be MS Agent characters and I am able to use these two.

Never mind. The MS Agent characters are working now that I've restarted my computer. I was not aware that I would have to do this in order for them to work. Oh well... I downloaded 3 characters from the site and they work perfectly on this trial version.

I would've thought restarting Hal would've worked. But at least you got it working.

Hi friends,

We´ve been working in some new characters (and most of them will be free) for a while. We are happy to know that the guys from microsoft are thinking in upgrading MSAgent to SAPI 5 TTS in the new vista OS.

Best regards,

I like the "Vanessa" character. Have you considered making a "Voyager" character with a transparent background? The white backing is a bit inconvenient. Other than that, you have a really cool site. Thanks.

I've noticed that this has turned into a burning topic! Woo Hoo! It really makes me feel good that I have contributed something of interest, because I have gotten so much from all of you these past couple of years.

Art,
I tried the double slash in my post on page 1, but it didn't work. I got two slashes. Then I realized that I was using forward slashes. Oh well, you folks who read it got the idea anyway. It seems that I don't know my backslash from a hole in the ground!

And to Guile Lindroth,
 You are doing great work! I hope I have gotten you a couple of sales!  I'm happy to have introduced you to the Ultra Hal community, but I feel I must mention that in your intro you refered to our beloved little chatterbot friend as Ultra Hall, and made another syntax error as well. I say this in the spirit of constructive critisism, as it mars an otherwise excellent site.

Thanks to you all!

I downloaded msagent from Guile 3D studio and she's working fine with ultra hal except that she doesn't talk like hal..her lips don't move but she's able to sound out her messages and also in writing. Aren't they not to supposed to speak?

Which one did you download? I downloaded Melissa, Voyager, and Kirei and they work fine for me. Their lips move.

Some voices don't lip sync with agent characters and some do.

Oh it's working now and that's because i'm using SAPI4 (Mary's voice) The SAPI5 voices won't work on her (It's Kirei by the way). Can't wait to buy a better SAPI4 voice for her though. Another question, how do I make her disappear (hide) and appear again???
Also, where can i get access to her animations folder so I can
evoke her emotions not only when she feels like it :p

C:\WINDOWS\msagent\chars

The animations are part of the acs character files. File size could range from 1 to 40 + megs in size.

To view the animations use MASH, MAPV or the ACE (Microsoft Agent Character Editor)
