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 more than 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
;-)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15 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 MagicEYE-window
6.) More than 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 MagicEYE-window
11.) MagicEYE-window is the hindmost window
12.) Eyes for different sizes
13.) Eyebrows
14.) Pirate eyes
15.) Eye glasses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you need?
You need of course an Amiga-Computer (or an compatible one ;^) ). Also you
need at least 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 a supported font size for screen title. 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).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to install?
Nothing simpler than that: you copy only 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
your User-Startup.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to use?
You can run this program from the Workbench (or the WBStartup directory) and
from a Shell (User-Startup). You can specify the parameters in the icon as Tool-
Types, as options in the shell or in a configuration file (ENVARC/AmigaEYE/CFG).
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, 11, 13, 16 and 26!
If your specify 0 as your preferred size, than AmigaEYE look
for the size of the title-font and tries to open a graphic-
set that is ok for that title-font. Doesn't exist that set,
AmigaEYE will quit!
NOANTIAL : This flag should be set if you want to use the nonantialized
graphic set - for better results on screens with dark back-
ground colors.
NOBROWS : With this ToolType you can switch off the eyebrows. So you
get the same behaviour of AmigaEYE as in the previous
versions. If you use the eyebrows, you should remember, that
AmigaEYE opens a window that is a little bit larger than the
window without eyebrows (e.g. you should use the graphic-set
11 if you have a title-font with 13 point and want to use
eyebrows).
PUPILSDIFFERENT : You can use this ToolType, if you don't want to see the same
pupile in the left and right eye.
MULTIRUN : To run AmigaEYE more than once a time, you should use this
option. So it is possible to start more than one eye-pair on
the screen. This option can only be used without BACKDROP!!!
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.
BROWCOLOR1
BROWCOLOR2
BROWCOLOR3
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.
PUPILGLASS : When should glassy pupils appear.
PUPILCOLOR : When should colorized pupils appear.
GLASSES : When to show the eye-glasses.
GLASSES_NO : When to remove the eye-glasses.
NORMALBROWS : When to show the normal eye-brows.
ANGRYBROWS : When to show the angry eye-brows.
PIRATE_BOTH : When to show both pirate-eyes.
PIRATE_LEFT : When to show the left pirate-eye.
PIRATE_RIGHT : When to show the right pirate-eye.
PIRATE_NO : When to show no pirate-eye.
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 (only if MULTIRUN is switched off)!
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
* 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
ENVARC: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)!
