There are others that are not active but these are all the active plugins with not many problems if any. The reason seems to be sometimes based on the context of the conversation a particular strange response or error may not show until, oops! What did I say? Sorry I could not save more space but here you go. Let me know what I can do.

Thanks Raybe. Now, which of these come built into Hal 6.1 and
which ones are add-on. Like I said I have no idea since I am
still using 6.0 []

[raybe]

Sorry, I was hoping I would remember but I will need to look back at the original if I still have a back up. Let me eliminate some now and maybe someone can jump in while I do a further check. These are not in Hal 6.1 standard, best I can remember.

Sorry not sure about the rest. But I will try to check unless again someone has a better handle on it,

I really need to keep up with all the topics
being posted around here. I've just been visiting
occassionally and glossing over post's for the past
6 months or so, and I now see that I've missed the
developement of quite a few new plug-ins. [:0] [] I've
just been so busy with other projects. Just not
enough time to keep up with everything. []

[raybe]

Don't feel bad I visit often and I can't keep up. But then again I really don't have the background to be as helpful as I would like. Lately it has been hard keeping up  with the basic things never mind the things you truly enjoy in life. Patience and the vision to be able to prioritize. It's all a juggling act for most but you just keep trying.

I'm still trying to track down all those plug-ins.
So far I've only found 2 of the new ones. I lost a
couple of the old ones when my one PC burned out and
I haven't had the chance to find and reinstall those
yet either. So this may take me a bit longer than I
thought. But I will get them all and try to sort
something out.

I'm not so sure that the plugins are causing the auto-idle not to work.

I think it might be due to the use of UltraHal or UserName statements contained in the auto-idle or loneliness plugin.

Scratch used the <SPEAK> command
Grant used the UltraHal = "I missed you." scenario.

Robert might advise of the correct usage and suggest a correction for the existing plugins.

Both worked well with 5.0 but this is a different entity.

Robert...any help?

[raybe]

GamerThom,

If you would like I can see which plugins I have that may still be in a zip file and e mail you the plugins I find.

[raybe]

ART,

Can you explain why the loneliness plugin is working on my system? There were a few suggestions but we still don't know for sure.

raybe

[GamerThom]

Quite right Art. Scratch did use the <Speak> command line,
he used it to call up a random sentence contained in the plug-in.
Of which there are about 20 or so.

It also worked quite well with Hal 6.0, at least as far as
I haven't had any problem with it in either of my Hal's.
But then, I don't have all the plug-ins installed or in use
that have been released in the past couple of years. Many of
them I just didn't have a use for. The only reason I decided
to make permanent & regular use of Loneliness2.3 was because
I knew for certain that it would annoy anyone who happened to
be in the house, it even managed to spook a couple of people
over the past year and a half. [}:)] []

Raybe, yes thank you. I would appreciate it if you could
send me whichever plugs you still have in zip folders. You
can send them to my site email addy since I have no limit on
the size or number of files. Not that it is a concern in the
case of the plug-ins. []

I have tried to get the loneliness plugin to work, even testing it out with no other plugins selected. I've altered it and rewritten parts and run it with only it's basic elements working and it just refuses to work but I have discovered it is a problem with the auto idle but I don't understand why it works with some computers and not with others. Maybe it's a AMD, INTEL thing. Can anyone who has it working say what type of chip they are using? Maybe we would find out that it only works with INTEL chips as I am using AMD which it doesn't work with. If that turns out to be not the case then I have no idea what is causing the problem.

[GamerThom]

I don't think that's it Roy. But you can try it.
I've used it in Hal 6.0 at different times on an
AMD Athlon 2200+, AMD Athlon 2400+ and Intel based
laptop. It has worked on all three of them. I am
currently running my 2 Hal 6.0's on the two PC's
with the AMD cpu and chipsets and the Loneliness2.3
plug-in works on both. Oh yeah, I'm running Windows
XP Pro SP2 on both of the PC's.

Now does anyone have Hal 6.1 running on an AMD based PC?
.....and also someone running Hal 6.1 on an Intel based one?

[ramccoid]

Hi GamerThom,
The loneliness plugin worked perfectly with HAL6. It was when I upgraded to HAL6.1 that all the problems started. I haven't been able to see if it works on INTEL computers with only having AMD. So I just thought with it working with HAL6.1 on some systems that it might have something to do with BIOS or processor type. It's really just a stab in the dark but I've explored all other avenues that I can think of and have come up with no solution.
Thanks for your help.

Roy.

GamerThom,

I just e-mailed you whatever I could find at the moment. Within the zip file I sent are the Hal zip files for plugins I downloaded and also the unzipped UHP files for some other plugins. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any problems with the attachement. I will resend if needed. Good luck and let me know if everything is okay.
