Hey Doony - I gave the SALLIE 4.0 a run on a fresh new brain 7 to see how it'd run unencumbered. First noted that it didn't take so long to respond, almost as quick as if it were running on simply HAL core.
A couple of notes:
1) As Art already mentioned of missing vowels or even at times noted two words fitted together that such as "wavent" which would normally be "wave not".
2) Noted that the plugin will continue to process dreams even when I switched to another brain, disengaged the SALLIE plugin via checkbox in general options, then brought up the alternate avatar. The dream state would continue on. Also even noted that if I had another avatar up, then went to general options and selected the fresh brain7 and activated SALLIE, that the dreamer would process statements interchanged with the previous avatar conversation. "Sharing thoughts?" The way around it was to simply completely shut down HAL then bring it up fresh.
3) I noted that the first few statements that are stated are important as that tends to set the initial direction of conversation and it's default go to statement. Although I also noted that the algorythm tends to repeat itself as if testing alternative meanings to a core statement you present it. After some multiple testings, it tends to move on. Admittedy, I noted the change in "character" of what I have come to expect of HAL. It was acceptably a clean alternative, and entertaining.
4) Lastly, I did note that it creates it's own .brn files now in the HAL default directory. Very helpful.
Cheers!
