Getting back to this topic...
The SALLIE5.0 plugin is 1.05 Megs (18,129 lines), which is HUGE compared to other plugins. I realize that this plugin is basically the accumulation of many other plugins that have been "fitted together" by Doonycram who has been working hard at trying to get them all to play nicely without causing errors or other issues.
I'm not sure if that can actually happen since the combined plugin is over one MEG in size. That also explains why it takes my HAL running on a Win 10, i7, 8 GB Ram, 1 TB hard drive computer, between 20 - 30 seconds to respond to a basic question!!
I have been getting popup errors about too many files...see attachment.
The Grammar is really lacking especially with pronoun reversals and eliminations like 'Are happy?'
Spelling errors where vowels are again being lost or dropped as in "Have had any nce dreams?" (the i in nice is missing). There are several others.
These errors are appearing with such regularity that I simply cannot use my HAL with this latest Plugin...Sorry, I wish it had worked.
Perhaps eliminate some of those really unnecessary routines like the nicknames, short returns, opposites, Ziggy's Complex Reasoning, Experimental Under Construction, and so on.
I see some usage and reference to the XTF BRN's which were actually used in HAL 4.0 and Hal 5.0 before Robert changed to the TABLE system in the database instead of individual BRN files. Not sure how well these will fare inside the Hal Brain.
I know it is a huge can of worms but maybe break it down to the basics and slowly add and test each module to make sure everything runs properly before adding additional ones. This is much like the way we recommend people to add Plugins...one at a time, test, if OK, add another one.
Doony, I'm sure you're a good programmer but I think HAL might have limits to its ability to handle a large number of files.
I wish Robert would weigh in on this for some clarification. Then we'd know for sure instead of hypothesizing.
Best of luck either way!!
