[C3 PLUG] Coming soon: Gaia!
Lis Morris
Gaia. She's a sort of new breed... well, more of a new species.... on fact,
she's more like a new agent...or maybe...
I'll start again. Gaia (Genetic Ark Interface Apparatus) is an intelligent
shipboard computer, capable of controlling the Ark's ecosystem and bioenergy
levels. She also has her own needs and wants, and likes passing the time of
day with the hand or other creatures. Unlike a normal creature, she is
actually part of the ship, and therefore unable to move. She makes up for
this, though, by being telekinetic!
Gaia is currently in testing, and no bugs have been reported yet, so she
should be out RSN!

Were you influenced by The Ship Who Sang, by any chance?
(Sounds great--may get back to C3 for it.)

It's by Anne McCaffrey, _The Ship Who Sang_. Read it if you have
time--I'd think you'd enjoy it, and the premise is very close to
yours.

Holly from Red Dwarf gave me the idea of using C1/C2 neural network
technology to create a personality for my computer... like Gaia in my
room... I never thought of that idea, though... something I'll have to
be playing with, it seems...

I reckon *all* the Anne McCaffrey novels are worth reading!
I've read every one of them that I could gets my hands on and have
bought all the Dragon series as they came out :o)

how do you mean telekinetic? There are various ways. The easist is just to
make the norns use signal chemicals, which are copied from one norn to
another. Receptor/emmiter combos can then be used.
The other way is much harder, and I'm trying, rather unsucessfully to get it
working. It involves reading a norn's brain and copying it to another norn.
It is hard because the output functions all write to file, so a load of
messy io is done, in addition to that you need caos functions to *manually*
convert 4 bytes into a float. not a pretty sight. In general the chemical
method is easier and quicker.
Oh, and I definitely agree, Gaia sounds *very* cool. To quot "Oh, the
possibilites!"

Wait a minute! Are you people talking about telepathy or telekinesis? Two
different things, you know.
Lis Morris
And yes, it's only the caos scripts that stop norns being telekinetic
anyway.. They force norns to walk up to objects like any normal beings.

<bangs head against wall>
it's a form of telekinesis, it's moving neurons in another norn's head.
Really!
I seem to remember there have been various telekinesis objects in the past,
from a bug in c1/c2 (I forget) where a norn teleported objects, to the C2
cob which does the same thing, they might be work looking at. Alternatively
there's the good old:
setv va01 posx
setv va02 posy
targ _it_
setv va03 wdth
divv va03 2
subv va01 va03
setv va03 hght
divv va03 2
subv va02 va03
mvto va01 va02
Which I think should teleport an object to a norn, when placed in one of
that norn's scripts. It may just be you just need to call the pickup scripts
though. I'm sure Noigea can find out.

Ummm... you're thinking telepathy, not telekinises. Telepathy is
talking via thoughts, telekinisis is moving/using things via thoughts.

I can't wait to start fiddling!
Noigea
Although I appreciate the vote of confidence, I'm much too busy helping Studz
to go rooting around in the scriptorium! ;) But I do remember seeing a portion
of script that blocked the norn's activities unless it touched the object..
Dave
be getting better and better. You're running at 1GHz now I'll bet, with
512Mb RAM and a JR-Logic board.
Anyway. Eough hardware talk, one.. two questions more though. Are you
creating any new species? What about those C3 Angel norns Ricardo promised
us you'd help him with??
