hi krista nice to meet you and by the way thaks for making a manual

the only thing i would say is put in the command codes for all the aco ms agent charicters so people would know how to implement them for a action when the emotion files come into play that way the charicters may interact with the user as they speak to eachother.

the haptek commands also would be nice and also hals command files i had to research for hours to find them all and had to download a bunch of programs and sdk's to find them.

Thanks for your feedback, GR. However, my specific focus is the UH editor, databases and brain/wordnet/vbscript functions.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Hal documentation effort underway

Thanks Art!

We're the one's he's hired.

Regarding the new releases, our documentation will be mostly relevant to that as most of those changes are internal and don't impact what we're documenting.

Anyway, since you guys have a great forum set up here where you help one another out, I asked Robert if I could ask around here and see if people wanted to contribute in terms of things that they'd like to see covered in the help file. He gave his ok.

That pretty much sums it all up.

Hopefully, you guys can pass on some great tips that will make life a bit easier for the people that are new to the product and in the meantime it will probably help to cut down on a few newbie questions as you'll be able to say "RTFM!" with there actually being a manual to read [8D]

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Hal documentation effort underway

Hey guys,

My name is Krista and I am currently producing a Help file that will document how to control Hal through both its databases/editors and via script.

As a result, I thought I'd pop in, introduce myself and let you know that I'm definitely open to you guys giving me input on what you'd like to see covered in the Help file.

For those of you that frequently help out here on the forums, it's your chance to get your knowledge into the Help file and aid the thousands of Hal users in their learning.

Note that the documentation covers the following:
* Overview of how Hal learns, teaching Hal and modifying Hal's behavior
* The editors/databases that form the "knowledgebase" for Hal
* The Brain/Wordnet functions (including sample usages if you'd like to contribute here)
* VBScript overview and explanation of the various VBScript verbs and functions that are used in scripting Hal

If you have any input, feel free to email me directly at halproject@archerconsultinggroup.com
