Title: MegaHAL's best
Post by: Captain Southbird (EHOL Creator) on April 28, 2003, 10:13:56 pm
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 :P)

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:

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? ^^;;;;;
Title: Re: MegaHAL's best
Post by: washuchan on May 02, 2003, 01:01:24 am
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

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:

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 :D

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?

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.
Title: Re: MegaHAL's best
Post by: Captain Southbird (EHOL Creator) on May 03, 2003, 06:27:44 pm
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.  :P  In other words, you probably have a very complicated problem (or possibly a simple one, depending on what's causing the AV)

> You better do as he says (http://www.el-hazardonline.net/El-Hazard/comic/images/cg_pressanykey.jpg)

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.
Title: Re: MegaHAL's best
Post by: Captain Southbird (EHOL Creator) on May 04, 2003, 12:47:16 pm
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. :P  Anything in between, including using fake user names, seems to cause it to ... not work at all.

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

The funniest things come from when MegaHAL becomes frighteningly lucid.
