Activity for Double Agent

  • Genfoch01 Genfoch01 posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    just to clarify, double agent is a replacement for msagent so you are looking for msagent characters here is a link but, none of these are "new" https://tmafe.com/ms-agent-hosting-2/ here is a link to some tools Mash (first on the page ) lets you build new characters https://microsoftagent.weebly.com/downloads-page.html you can find a fair number of characters by searching on msagent characters but everything you find will be 2 decades old.

    I know this is a necro post, But has anyone created any new opensource agents for double agent? If so, where and are there any repositories of said opensource characters?

  • Genfoch01 Genfoch01 posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    There are two files you need to install. doubleagent_x64x86.msi sets up the client and server. then doubleagentSDK_x64x86.msi will install the sdk which will place the files in c:\programfiles\double agent\dev\v4.0\ that you need to import into visual basic/visual studio. I can tell you I got this working on windows 10 ( again I'm not using the activex so I have not tried using it. )

    Hi everyone i need your help I develop ms agent by Microsoft agent scripting helper on windows 11 the only problem when i like to eliminate the pink background of genie by using double agent the voices change to another and no TTS will be used. have you any solution for this problem!!!!

  • Arnold V Page Arnold V Page posted a comment on ticket #9

    Did anyone ever explain how to do the equivalent with DoubleAgents? My software ('Captain Cook's Tuck Box') uses the same two agents. I'm rusty on my Delphi knowledge, so if DoubleAgents can be incorporated into a Delphi program I'd be very grateful if someone could explain fully how to do the above using DoubleAgents in a Delphi program.

    I am using the downloaded voices from AT&T (I think) anyhow they are not the windows' voices

  • Genfoch01 Genfoch01 posted a comment on discussion Help

    Thats great news! I'm glad to hear you got it working ! Are you using any voices? The one that coms with windows sucks, so I ended up buying a couple of SAPI 5 voices.

    Yes I am using Microsoft Office PowerPoint VBA. When one wants to lay code behind an object (in this case double agent) one clicks on the object and then on the event (e.g. Click). VBA then writes the "sub" (subroutine header) {Private Sub MyAgent_Click) and the subroutine end (End Sub) statement. Between those lines the code to perform some tasks based on the event is layed. An event associated with MyAgent (Double Agent) is the RequestComplete event. This is fired after a particular task (method)...

    vba? are you doing this for Microsoft office ? I'm not sure what you mean by "loading the RequestComplete event" events are generated by the running code. I have never had to load an event. of course its entirely possible that I'm ignorant . I just code in spare time so i'm mostly self taught. you miss a lot of things that way.

  • charlie elliott charlie elliott posted a comment on discussion Help

    56 Downloads this week seems like somebody should take over this project. I have a problem and creating a web page seemed to be a solution. Evidently not! My problem is I am trying to convert a PowerPoint VBA macro that used microsoft agent. I can access agent and make it work with VB6. So I thought Double Agent would work fine in VBA. No such luck. Strangely I can access the .acs character and all the animations associated with the character. When I try to show the character nothing appears on the...

  • Genfoch01 Genfoch01 posted a comment on discussion Help

    I'm sorry I am not able to help, I have never used an agent in a web page. The last update to the files was more than 8 years ago and edge did not even exist at that time so they may not work with modern browsers. Sadly it looks like this is a dead project. Cinnamon Software hasn't posted here for years. Back in 2011 we were talking about a linux version, which would have been cool. I guess there was not enough interest to move forward.

  • charlie elliott charlie elliott posted a comment on discussion Help

    Is there no one who has used double agent on a web page??? I guess the answer might be yes because the 3 examples included with the SDK do not run on Edge, Chrome, or Firefox. They all blow up on the Characters.Load statement. I have since determined that agentcontol.Characters is undefined. This sounds like a bug to me, but what do I know?? Anyhow, I am begging anybody who actually used Double Agent on a Web Page in a browser to please post some code that works. I do not have anywhere to turn. ...

    Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I don't understand your use of environment. On the Double Agent control panel it says that, "Double Agent is installed. It's currently emulating Microsoft Agent. DaServer.exe and DaControl.dl is registered to all users and is emulating Microsoft Agent Control 2.0 (for both 32 and 64 bit applications').

    This is a line from one of the samples from the SDK: DaAgentControl.Characters.Load(mDaCharacterName, mDaCharacterFile); No matter what program I use the programs all blow up on this load statement with: Uncaught TypeError TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'Load') at window_onload (c:\PgBook\MechMan3\agentB.html:14:30) The error is pointing past the period after Characters, at Load.

    To Cinnamon Software: Hi. I wouldn't ask this if you didn't ask for donation... Would you mind expliciting in your home page WHO YOU ARE? Where (Canada I suppose, but then?...). How many of you, your names, etc. , just enough to increase the trust level of your potential clients... I don't suspect you of anything, simply I always tell to my friends teachers not to download software coming from sources they cannot localize. I hope you understand my viewpoint. Thanks!

  • Genfoch01 Genfoch01 posted a comment on discussion Help

    my app compiled on windows 7 worked perfectly on windows 10. that is loading a character file and calling the different animations and also testing sapi5 voices there are some things my app does not use ( like character balloons ). I have not yet tried creating a new app on windows 10 yet but i think the DA is self contained so i'm not expecting any issues. I'm a bit behind on getting everything upgraded to windows 10 so if you do see a problem or find there is no problem I hope you post back here....

    myagentname is type string and is hard coded in the my app. you can use a quoted string if you like. mydaAgentcontrol.Characters.Load(myagentname, schar) or mydaAgentcontrol.Characters.Load("thisisanagentinstance" , schar) hardcoding the name globally at the start of the app ( load event ) into a string lets you avoid hardcodeing each of your functions that reference the agent.

  • Genfoch01 Genfoch01 posted a comment on discussion Help

    myagentname is type string and is hard coded in the my app. you can use a quoted string if you like. what the string is has no barring on how DA works and (if you plan to only use one agent at a time which is what i'm going ) then hardcoding the string is fine and does not affect the agent acs file which is (in my case) returned as schar from the form1.openfiledialog1.filename.tostring fucntion. if you need more than one agent at a time, the myagentname string needs to be unique.
