I gave my coffee table feelings. Mostly bad ones. Meet Greg

Please hold on to them! I want v1.6.0 up <11th. That will have an easy submission mechanic right on Gregs panel. Good ones matching Greg’s vibe will be added for everyone, credited of course.

I’m currently translating his vibe pools, 5x50=250 x 2 (NL & PT) = 500 additional lines. First pool done, working on the next. Once all addtional 500 are complete, a quick beta test and then final.

When we can drop in our own lines I may have to add another bunch of instances, one for every door in the home (that includes cupboards)

Hateful, cheerful, “self-satisfied” doors, with a sunny disposition, to which Greg can have a 2 second delay to deliver his scathing response :slight_smile:

Just a couple of things:

  1. The README states:

Issues and pull requests are welcome. If you’ve written lines that fit Greg, dry, resigned, clearly built by the same lot that made Marvin, open a PR. Keep them original, though. No direct quotes from the books or the films.

However issues are disabled on github. PR’s are enabled though.

  1. On that note, if you set a tts_voice you can no longer unset it (set to blank). My workaround was to directly edit under .storage to unset it when I was playing with multiple TTS providers.

That sounds like a great idea, maybe even a necesssity. Greg’s gonna hate that. So I’ll look into this as soon as lines are done and v1.6.0 is up.

Thanks for letting me know. The “New Issue” button is grayed out and showing a restriction message. I dug into the settings, and everything is completely open on my end (i.e. no limits or restrictions are turned on whatsoever). It looks like this is a glitch on GitHub’s side where their server permissions aren’t syncing up with my dashboard, which may be why it’s blocking external users. This is NOT the way.

I’ve already opened an official support ticket with GitHub to get them to force-reset the repository on their backend.

While I wait for them to sort out the platform bug, please just drop any bug reports or feature requests directly in this thread. I’ll keep an eye on them and manually log everything until this is sorted.

Thanks for bearing with me while we get this ironed out!

I’ve filed yours as well & will look into this when Greg is actually multilingual.

Edit: I tested this incognito in a logged out state obviously. Perhaps @teskanoo or @RedKing can do a quick test as well in a logged in state and let me know?

Just don’t tell anyone your furniture is arguing with each other, or you’ll be committed :sweat_smile:

:rofl: As long as the voices aren’t in his or our head, he/we should be fine I suppose.

I look forward to the day friends and family starts to “respond” back to my furniture’s :rofl:
( Well maybe they’ll never come and visit again :thinking: )

I can confirm I can access issues. There are none… which is good.

Tanks @teskanoo for checking this! I can access issues as well. Seems the support ticket has been resolved.

On a side note, it is early AM when I misread your reply as “I have issues as well” and thought ‘Don’t we all…’ :joy:

Btw, still have your request bookmarked, so no need to open one. Same goes for @bundabrg ’s, which I think is now resolved, yes?

Unless you find anything else of course, then there’s a place for that now.

While I’m up, a little update. Had/have to park Greg yesterday and today due to back-2-back wedding aniversaries. Today should be mine, so gonna be cracking on with his lines on sunday.

Oh he’s not invited to the anniversaries? Probably for the best. He’d have been wretched.

Just a sitrep on Greg’s language aquisition progress. He is quite eager to be able to moan in more languages. And there is steady progess, done about 272/500 of the new lines total. Cracking on.

I seem to have some kind of issue.
My HomePod is not sending out the voice.
If I do it by hand in the developer tools I have no issue.
But via Greg I get the following error in my logs.

miniaudio.DecodeError: ('failed to init decoder', -1)

Thanks for letting me know, Diareg and reminding me I have a speaker that sometimes has a similar issue as well. It’s the next thing I want to look at once Greg is moaning in more languages.

Would you like the rather questionable honor of opening the very first official issue on my repo for this?

No problem, I will!
And thanks for making Greg.
Now finally my surplus vibrationsensor is not so surplus anymore.

Thank you so much, both for the issue and the kind words. Really helps not losing track of anything :folded_hands:

I already had issues. Like we all do, probably. This is simply another one. One of many, I admit. But it’s Greg’s first. And that is special. So much so, I’m almost tempted not to resolve it :joy:

Almost.

Right, sitrep: 300/500 signed off. SOFT, MEDIUM and CHAOS all closed at 50/50.

Chaos was the trickiest so far. EXISTENTIAL next, dreading it a bit. Longer lines, more sentences, more to get wrong. Past the point of no return though. Tomorrow, before I’m the one moaning :zipper_mouth_face:

Update:
I’m up to the last 14 Existential lines. Some got a bit longer even. Had to so the meaning carried over correctly from the original EN lines. A couple of the EN lines received minor alterations. So that’s 372/500 translations signed off. Thats the good news.
The bad news : I’m not going to make the self-imposed deadline. Going through quite a rough patch, but also travelling back home again. So it’ll be en extra few days. New deadline: < end of the week. Hope that’s ok.

Thanks @Dlareg , saw you commit regarding your solution; Will defibately have a look at that :+1:

Update 2:
Right, 400/500 signed off. So that’s EXISTENTIAL’s done and the English picked up nine small fixes on the way, so all that’s left is SILENCE: 50+50=100 lines of Greg enjoying twenty minutes of nothing happening, which after this week sounds pretty good. I’ll see if I can get started on those after the eclipse because I’m actually lucky enough to be in the right place for it, thanks to that other force of nature that is my wife.

Anyone else making a point of staring at the sun tomorrow?
