- Short: Another talking Homer for your WB! ;)
- Author: eesposito@usa.net (Emiliano Esposito)
- Uploader: eesposito@usa.net (Emiliano Esposito)
- Version: 1.0
- Type: util/misc
- Requires: OS 2.0+(V37), some sound.datatype and picture.datatype
-
- and original Homer1.x as found on Aminet (or the set of samples I
- have made, see below).
-
- NewHomer - this is just like the old Homer1.5/1.6 found on Aminet... it has
- just some more options and is totally RTG friendly (the old one
- wouldn't zoom correctly the animation on truecolor screens).
-
- In case you didn't ever seen original Homer, this is a program that shows
- you an animation of Homer Simpson, that can talk, burp (ops! :)) and will
- change its mood while following the mouse pointer.
-
- REQUIREMENTS: you will require to download the original Homer... if you don't
- want to loose too much time, just download the set of samples I
- use... there are some more samples configured than those found
- with the original Homer. The file name is "NewHomer_SAMPLES.lha"
- in this same directory.
-
- titlebar.image by Massimo Tantiglione, which is included in the
- archive and will be installed by the installer.
-
- Os V38 at least is required (lower versions won't work... I think
- if anyone wants to test it under V37, please let me know).
-
- Then you will require ONE sound.datatype and ONE picture.datatype:
- I suggest you to have at least WAVE, 8SVX and ILBM ones, if you
- don't have these, you can't use Homer... or you can convert the
- sound and gfx samples to the datatype you have. ;)
- The file HomerAnim.gif included in the archive is an IFF image
- despite its name... Oh, yes, this is _NOT_ Windoze and that LAME
- filetype recognition system...
-
- NewHomer_DATA.lha - this is ONLY required if you are installing
- Homer for the first time and/or you want some extra/new features/
- samples.
-
- INSTALLATION: double click on the provided installer icon, or just copy the
- content of this archive over the old Homer directory. Plus you'll
- need to copy the "titlebar.image" file into the "SYS:CLASSES/IMAGES"
- drawer.
- Then you can edit (if you want) the NewHomer.conf file (see doc.)
- to add your own samples to the program. After doing this you _CAN_
- delete the following files from the old Homer archive:
-
- Homer - Main program
- homer/libs/ (or LIBS:) - matrix.library and swazconfig.library
- unless some other program uses them...
-
- If you don't have Homer installed, or you don't want to loose time
- editing this file, then you can download my own data file (config +
- samples + iff picture) on Aminet and copy its content to the same
- directory.
-
- VARIOUS: see the accluded documentation inside for all the rest!
-
- BUGS: Should have none, tested under 3.5, MuForce, Wipeout (like Mungwall)
- and these reported no hits.
