This program is Shareware. Everyone, who use this program, should register it
by sending me the registration fee (see below). The shareware fee is 5,- DM
plus postage.
When you use this little program, than you use it on your own risk! The author
take no respons for damage made by AmigaEYE!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is it?
Do you know these funny Eye-programs, which follow the mouse-pointer! Ok. Than
you know AmigaEYE. It's an Eye-program for an upstyled Workbench.
The first lines of code are written back in 1995 and were released as MagicEYE
Since that first work are 2 years gone by and so the program changed a lot (not
only the Name and the shareware fee). Look at the history at the end ;-)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12 reasons, why to use this program:
1.) colorized eyes ;^)
2.) Eye-sets with different sizes
3.) automatic window close, when WB is closed (screennotify.library)
4.) you can configurate a lot
5.) patch to have an screen-drag AmigaEYE-window
6.) 10(!) different eye-effects
7.) colorremapping, MagicWB nolonger needed (AmigaOS 3.0+)
8.) very short program
9.) it's an commodity
10.) can copy screen-background into AmigaEYE-window
11.) AmigaEYE-window is the hindmost window
12.) Eyes for different sizes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you need?
You need of course an Amiga-Computer (or an compatible one ;^) ). Also you
need at least AmigaOS 2.04 or higher. Sorry, but I can't guarantee, that the
version for AmigaOS 2.04 work, because I have only an Amiga with AmigaOS 3.0.
In addition to the OS you should run your Workbench with at least 8 colors and
a quadratic resolution (e.g. 640×512). Last but not least you should use an
13 point high font for screen title. This is necassery, because AmigaEYE has
an fixed high of 13 points. And new for release 2 of AmigaEYE you need the
screennotify-library from Stefan Becker (optional, if you want automatic close
of the AmigaEYE-Window when WB close).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Different program versions:
It's very simple: The 'new' AmigaOS 3.0 has some better functions which are
supported by AmigaEYE. And so, I have produced two versions: One for AmigaOS 2.0
(AmigaEYE_37) and one for AmigaOS 3.0 (AmigaEYE_39) and higher.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to install?
Nothing simpler than that: you copy only the right program-version of AmigaEYE
to your WBStartup-directory on you startvolume (disk, hd...) and the files in
the AmigaEYE/#? into ENV:AmigaEYE/#?. In addition to that do an reboot. That's
it :-]
When you want to run your User-Startup, than copy AmigaEYE into your
C-Directory, the AmigaEYE/#? files into ENV:AmigaEYE/#? and run AmigaEYE from
User-Startup.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to use?
You can run this program from the Workbench (or the WBStartup directory) and
from a Shell (User-Startup).
DONOTWAIT : This has nothing to do with AmigaEYE. It's only a flag for
Workbench.
WIN_X : Where do you want to place the AmigaEYE-window? Here you
WIN_Y configurate the x and y position. Default: WIN_X=545 and
WIN_Y=1
ATTENTION: If you use an titlefont smaller than 13 point,
set the value of WIN_Y to 0.
PRIORITY : Defines the task-priority. This value should be lower than
0, so, other programs (which need the system-time) gets more
system-time. The default value is 0 (program) or -5 (Icon).
MOVEABLE : Window can be moved on the screen.
DRAGPATCH : With this (non system-friendly) patch it is possible, to
drag the screen with the AmigaEYE-window. So there is no
different on the screen-title, when you want to drag down
the screen (funny). Default is off!
BACKGROUND : Copy the background of the position, where the Eyes appears
into the AmigaEYE window (and so into the background).
QUICKQUIT : Enable faster quitting of AmigaEYE (with right Mousebutton).
BACKDROP : Enable the Layer Patch, that bring the AmigaEYE window to
the hindmost window (every time!). ATTENTION: with this
patch there will be the function BehindeLayer (-54) from the
layer.library changed!
SLEEP_PERIOD : This flag define the time (in sec) that the program wait,
till it close the Eyes, when the mouse isn't moved!
Default: 5. (Try different values!)
SIZE : Define the size of the graphic-set that is used. For a title
font with the size 13 you need to use the graphic-set 13
(SIZE=13)! ATTENTION: At this time there are only set's for
the sizes 5,13, 16 and 26!
LIDCOLOR1 : With these ToolTypes you can change the color of the graphic
LIDCOLOR2 After the keyword you must give an hex-number:
BLOODCOLOR RRGGBB
PUPILCOLOR1 RR - red (00 - FF)
PUPILCOLOR2 GG - green (00 - FF)
PUPILCOLOR3 BB - blue (00 - FF)
EYECOLOR1
EYECOLOR2 So FFFFFF means the color white!
PUPILREDCOLOR1 ATTENTION: When the new color-values aren't used, then it
PUPILREDCOLOR2 can be, that there are no free colors on the
PUPILREDCOLOR3 screen.
And now the effect-configuration. Very important to know: The values, that you
give here, are interpreted as a probability (1/value). The value must be greater
than 1, an value of 0 means, that this effect isn't activ:
SLEEPY : This value is needed, to define how often the Eyes are
closed.
TIRED : Define, how often the eye-lid's go down to the half.
ROLL_SYNCHRON : When roll the Eye synchron (in same direction).
ROLL_ASYNCHRON : When roll the Eye asynchron (in different direction).
LEFTRIGHT : How often the Eye's look Left-Right.
UPDOWN : How often the Eye's look Up-Down.
RANDOM_EYE : Defines, when you get the trembling Eye's.
BLOODY : When get the red Eye's?
CLEAR : When should get the red Eye's get cleared?
LEFT_EYE : Close left Eye. (depend on SLEEPY)
RIGHT_EYE : Close right Eye. (depend on SLEEPY)
ANGRY : Angry Eyes. (depend on SLEEPY)
ANXIOUS : Anxious Eyes. (depend on SLEEPY)
INSULT : Insult Eyes. (pupiles look in other direction)
STOP_TIRED : When to stop the TIRED effect.
STOP_ANGRYANXIOUS : When to stop the angry and anxious eyes.
STOP_EFFEKT : When to stop any effect. If you put here an 0 the effect
run endless.
PUPILNORMAL : When should normal pupils appear.
PUPILBIG : When should big pupils appear.
PUPILCROSS : When should cross pupils appear.
PUPILAMIGA : When should Amiga pupils appear.
PUPILHEART : When should heart pupils appear.
So, that's it. You know now all the features of AmigaEYE. Or...? You want to
know, how to exit this mega mighty program? Is it true? Do you want to quit this
program? Ok. I see... You want know this (very stupied :-|) feature: There
are two ways (argh... three ways):
1.) Run AmigaEYE again!
2.) Run Exchange, select AmigaEYE and quit it!
3.) (when QUICKQUIT) Activate AmigaEYE-Window and press right Mousebutton!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can be made better?
* More funny things with the Eyes
* Eye's with eyebrow's?
* It is possible, that there exists errors (undocumented features ;^) or bugs)
which we doesn't want!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem...
...are possible with AmigaEYE. When you start AmigaEYE and nothing apears,
than it is possible, that the additional-data-files aren't installed correctly
or that the wrong version is installed. To avoid this, copy AmigaEYE/#? to
ENV:AmigaEYE/#? and restart the computer. Copy only files from that AmigaEYE
Archive, from that you start AmigaEYE-exe (It's possible, that some parts of
the additional-files are changed from time to time)!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ATTENTION: AmigaEYE is distributed via ADSG! So registrations should be send to
ADSG (look at extra file). ADSG: http://www.amigaworld.com/adsg/
