CodeMentorAgent problems

Hello all,

I just wanted to play around with the code mentor agent and experienced
a few problems.

Starting the CodeMentorAgent from the launcher window results in a file
not found error in CodeMentorAgent>>agent.

It seems that the following code tries to load the Character "Max" which
is not installed in WINDOWSDIR\msagent\chars\:

self agentInterface characters load: 'Max' loadKey: (File composePath:
SessionManager current windowsDirectory subPath: 'msagent\chars\max.acs').

I assume that Max is not part of the default XP installation (XP Pro,
German, SP2).

After installing the character manually the code above works but the
method fails a few lines later:

self agent ttsModeID: self defaultTTSModeId" fails with "Class not
registered.

Tracing the stack I found that IAgentCtlCharacterEx>>put_TTSModeID: failed.

Please note that the samples in the Agent Package worked fine.

Regards,

Udo

After a few minutes of working the character suddenly appeared on the
screen without me doing anything for it. It looks a little bit strange
because it seems to be doubled in size.

CU,

Just take a look at CodeMentorAgent>>blowUp and #blowUpSize. If you
don't want the character enlarged then comment out the call to these
methods. Similarly, you can comment out the call to #ttsModeID: in the
#agent method. It is only there to change to a different voice.

Actually, I'd forgotten that the CodeMentorAgent was in the image. It
was really only a demo so not really production quality and I winder if
it should be removed.
