Posted: Tue Mar 21, 2006 3:57 pm Post subject: Hspeak Not Working |
|
|
Whenever I try to compile my plotscripts (or just open hspeak), I get this message:
[16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem]
hspeak.exe
X#=0D, CS=01A7 IP=000014F2. The NTVDM CPU has encountered an unhandled exception. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.
[Close] [Ignore]
Ignore just brings the message right back up, and close just closes it (duh). I have the most recent version and have tried many things. Please help. |

Try unzipping it from the OHR zip again. If you used the installer, grab the Zip file from the same place, and use that.
If that doesn't fix it, let us know. James has a win32 version of hspeak kicking around somewhere, and it should work for you. _________________ I stand corrected. No rivers ran blood today. At least, none that were caused by us.

Yeah, I tried that, didn't work. But I was actually specifically looking for a Win32 version if someone knows where it is. |

The windows build of hspeak is at http://HamsterRepublic.com/dl/hspeak-win.zip but it is pretty old, and I don't think it supports strings. I need to build a fresh copy of it (and make it the default) but I'll have to remember how :)
The problem you are having with the dos build of hspeak.exe is probably caused by spyware on your system. If you have not done so already, you should definitely check it out. (but the error may be caused by damage done by a piece of spyware you have already removed, in which case re-installing windoze is the only likely way to fix it) |

Really? Since the last time I rebooted windows, I have been extremely, extra cautious of spyware, and I thought a once-a-week scan would get be good enough. I'll try scanning for spyware, but so far there have been no other signs of spyware.
EDIT: Hmm, when I run that Windows version, something that appears to be a DOS box pops up and just dissapears, compatibility settings don't seem to make a difference. |

That is a problem with the windows version of hspeak :(
I'll try to make a new build of it anyway, when I get a chance (I don't have a Euphoria compiler where I am right now) |

Guess I should just try getting the DOS one to work then. All the stuff on the Microsoft page seem to be different problems or require a CD.
By the way, since your message I've been doing a spyware search, over half way over and not one result so far.

The windows version of HSpeak is still a console program. I.e. you run it exactly like you would the dos version.

Ah crud. Near the end of my Spybot searh 19 files came from nowhere. I purged them and then tried hspeak, no progress. I'm going to try rebooting, if that doesn't work, I really hope I don't have to reboot my computer since I just did less than a month ago...
EDIT: Didn't work.  |

If I was going to re-write it, I would do it in python. The object-oriented-deliciousness would come in handy.

How about running hspeak in DosBox? I think that is probably your best bet right now. |

Oh yeah, since rebooting I forgot about DosBox. I'll try that. |

(Sorry for double-posting, just need to get your attention.)
Okay, it seems to work, but how do I compile plotscripts using hspeak itself? I'm used to just dragging the HSS file or using Hamspeak/HssEd, but I'm pretty sure I can't drag my HSS file into hspeak into DosBox. Or is there a way to make a DosBox shortcut like with VDMS? |

I always compile my scripts like this:
Code: | d:\ohr\wip> hspeak -y-c whatever.hss |
-y says "yes, I freaking want to overwrite the old .HS file, sheesh."
-c disables colours, so I can read the output on my dying monitor. _________________ I stand corrected. No rivers ran blood today. At least, none that were caused by us.

Hmm, it seems when I try what you put or my OHR directory (with and without spaces) it says "Illegal command." Am I supposed to type like Z:\> c:\... or is there some way to change Z:\> to c:\ or d:\? And sorry for my stupidity, I usually only used DosBox when I can just drag a single file into it. |

OK, DosBox 101 - Today's lesson: Mounting drives
This will create a new drive (C which is mapped to a path (C:\). You can use any drive (A-Y, Z's already taken), and you can map to any path:
That will create drive D:, which maps to a folder on (real) drive C. If your ohr path has spaces in it, this is the way to go. _________________ I stand corrected. No rivers ran blood today. At least, none that were caused by us.
