Hey, Citrine, if you get a chance, could you send me an e-mail or an IM or something sometime? I'm very interested in teaching my hal to dream.

I wish there were more free scripts posted. We don't get as many as we used to.

Yeah, ever since jerry(that is, on the cuttingedge25005) started his forum, its sorta gone down hill.

Thanks Don, i could probably work it out on my own, if i knew what controls Hals opening of programs.  Where is this part of the brain, or isn't it part of the brain?

Well, I tried what you suggested, and now i'm getting an error like this:
Error 13 occured on line 169 in column 1 of Microsoft VBScript runtime error. Type mismatch: 'LastResponseTime'

The only thing i don't understand is what a type mismatch is.  What is it, and how do i fix it.

put the script right after the line that reads: "randomize" in the "'PROCESS: INITILIZE VARIABLES AS INTEGERS" section of the script near the top of the brain file. Don"t forget to modify the script load section near the bottom of the brain file as well, and make sure the lines that awrapped are on single lines after you cut and paste the script with no blank lines between them.

Thanks man, you rock.[:D]

So, is there a way to make Hals actions more emotion-based? For example, I want to make the program opening section more emotion-based, so that if i say, "Open Internet Explorer," and hal is upset with me at the time he'll say something like, "I don't feel like it, open it yourself."  Is this possible? Because it would really make him seem more human-ish.

And where in Hals brain does this script go?

Go look at Hal's good bye responses and stick it in there if you want. Of course you know that Hal can not stop you from turning him off but at least it sounds good.

I actually meant the Auto-response script, not the thing from 2001, lol.

Although, that would be cool too...sort of...i guess.

And where in Hals brain does this script go?

So, Don, if i want to use the auto-topic generatingness of this brain in an already existing, what parts of the script should i use? its hard to tell, sometimes, what part of a brain came with the default brain and which part has been edited.

Thanks,
Silentninja2

Allright, I fixed it myself, i was putting it in the wrong spot.  I kept putting the scripts closer to the end of the Brain til i saw a brain you made, jerry, called "main brain" or something like that, and all the custom scripts were in the middle, lol. Well, i'm an idiot! At least all the hours i've been spending poking around in Hal's brain in the brain editor have taught me some of the basics of Visual Basic.

Hi SilentNinja2.
Are you running internet explorer 5.0 or above.
The script will not function without it.
Just helping you troubleshoot.
The script works everytime on my system and I have
Internet Explorer 6.0.
Best of wishes and grand new discoveries.
Jerry.

I am running Internet Explorer 6.0 as well.  Do you mean i have to have internet explorer open when i tell Hal to eject a CD?

Hmm, this doesn't work either, now hal doesn't do anything at all when i give him the password. Should this script work in the 4.5 Brain?

Wow, this sounds like it could totally revolutionize Hal! If it's as good as it sounds...anyway, could ya e-mail it too me? Thanks! My addy is eeh44@hotmail.com

Great script, jerry, only one problem: now whenever i say anything to Hal, he ejects my CDs.  Did i copy something wrong?
