MegaHAL's best

[Captain Southbird (EHOL Creator)]

If you don't know, there's this CGI script I wrote some time back that selects a random picture from my screenshot collection and applies pseudo-AI via MegaHAL (an opensource attempt at a conversation bot) as a comic text bubble.  (Okay, CGI is only the control, but it actually executes my custom written software on the server to do this )

The CGI improved into what I dubbed v1.1 later with more options and eventually a better font.

Here's some random examples from it's generation.  As Saucer said, "Hours of fun."

These are generally in chronological order, so more features come in as we go:

Allujah forgets it's called The Eye of God

Marriage has ruined him.

"The Face"

Neil got too excited dealing with Alielle

You better do as he says

I'm in trouble

Shayla is unsure how to respond

Diva's first day driving

Jinnai sticks it to Diva

Rune's chest size is officialized

"Jinnai knows when he's being humoured by Harpo."

Bugrom on right: "Can you translate that?"

Jinnai gets ahead of the script

Fujisawa: "Is this a bad time?"

Jinnai's title for Wanderers episode 1

Don't you hate it when that happens?

The Narrator speaks the obvious

Spinning around means so much to Jinnai

Follow up on MrWhat's eBay story

Diva invents, and ends, the internet

Fatora cowers guiltily in Rune's presense

Jinnai, for the lady fans

Don't you hate being faced with these choices?

Jinnai so pampers Kalia

Makoto's a little slow-witted

I hear the side effects are rough


Right about now, v1.1 pre-font came into play.  (Mainly the multi-panel format that's used sometimes)


Nanami asks the more important question!

Whipped Jinnai.  I guess

The robot later quit and went to another anime series

One of them is a lesbian

Ura explains

Jinnai's cool with you

... then something really bad must result?

Fujisawa's the only one that does

You need to SUPPORT the Eye of God!

Makoto: "I am NOT doing this story."

This spared Nanami some

Everyone's reactions to the car

Fujisawa's about to thwack Makoto good

For some reason, "Journal" just isn't that threatening

You are now in the middle of something um "special"

We need to check our viewers

Ura doesn't hold back


Latest: New font


Better run Nanami

Fujisawa's got you there

She's about to give

Please stop looking

Interpret "purification" as you will

Too accurate

YAY Megahal!

Those are some of the good ones... you didn't put up "the fingers said to the knife" one though ^_^ one of my favoites ^_^

Heh oh well people can go look it up I guess ^_^

[Saucer]

I had alot of fun looking at that, that night. ^_^ some of those are just so random that I couldn't help but ROFLMAO. And it makes me wonder Rob, how many screen shots have you done of each EH ep? ;;;;

[washuchan]

heh, some of them are really funny...some err...I'll rate it NC-17 for CGI randomness

uh, btw Rob, do you know how  long it takes to finish the PC EH game? Do you think I can finish it in a single 3 hours flight?

thanks

And it makes me wonder Rob, how many screen shots have you done of each EH ep? ;;;;

Roughly about 200 per episode, with the exception of a few during the OAV (1, 4, and 7 I believe) which top off at around 400 or even 500.

I'd take Lucan Duran's Saturn guide with you since, until I finish and have our specific version ready, that's the closest thing to a strategy guide you'll have.

I doubt you'll be able to completely "finish" the game (by "finish" I mean beat it all 9 possible ways), but you should be able to get at least one if you take Duran's guide with ya.


For the fun of it, one of the newest generations:

Fatora giving herself a pep talk before going into some sort of social situation I suppose.

[washuchan]

uh, I'm sorry but I can't seem to find Lucan Duran's Saturn guide with google query or this site search...
Could you please tell me where to get it?
I won't be getting all the endings, just wanna check ones with Iffy in it

oh, media player won't play the movie clips from El-Hazard Sega Saturn Game thread. I've downloaded/installed the latest divx and the fraunhofer gave this when executed: "the application failer to initialized properly (xc0000005) .................."
Anyone have a  clue why is this/what's the solution?

[Tim needs time to work it out]

If you want the guide it's here...

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/saturn/game/22054.html

It will tell you what you want to know.

[Captain Southbird (EHOL Creator)]

0xc0000005 is an Access Violation, basically the most generic "program being bad" error you can get.  It basically occurs anytime software tries to touch memory that doesn't belong to it.    In other words, you probably have a very complicated problem (or possibly a simple one, depending on what's causing the AV)

[Andrusi]

> You better do as he says

You need to put this in your sig or something.

(I'm gonna avoid the subject of how the heck this thing actually works...)

Edit: Bah, I'll just use newsgroup-style quoting.  At least I know it'll WORK.

[Captain Southbird (EHOL Creator)]

Yeah, quote tag doesn't work the way it does on the php forum.  I only know that it either works in simple, no parameter form or in some complex format you get when you hit the "quote" button to reply to a post.  Anything in between, including using fake user names, seems to cause it to ... not work at all.

[Saucer]

The ones about the internet are absolutely hysterical. Don't ask me why, they just are. ^_^;

[Captain Southbird (EHOL Creator)]

The funniest things come from when MegaHAL becomes frighteningly lucid.

[Captain Southbird (EHOL Creator)]

Food for thought.

[Saucer]

Food for thought.

Qawoor and Shayla, sittin' in a tree!
F-U-C..... well, you know the drill. ;;
