Universal ScreenMate 4 + Editor

[madflame991]

I hope u dont mind, I made Luigi Style ^^

I was thinking someone would figure out how to do that... I don't mind...

Future releases will give you the posibility of making new moods for mario and include new quotes. By doing this anyone can edit their mario and translate it in their preffered language.

Thx for the constribution. I'll try to update mario monthly.

Mayby u could add

1 mario

1 luigi

at the same time, so u will se 2 figures at the same time on ur screen

But im going to edit the colors again

this is kind of hard, as you would have to update one then the other unless you used timers which this is a PERFECT for this.

I didn't manage to run the script above because I can't find Timers.au3, anyway I've got a plan on animating more caracters (like mario and luigi, some goombas/koopas, bullets and other stuff) without timers and maybe till tomorrow things will get more clear to me...

Of course I don't want the user to be invaded when he's busy so the party will begin only if the computer is idle...

[icadea]

great script. thanks.

[Pioneer5250]

This script is awsome...

Great job!!

i was just thinking what about turning it into a screen saver.

[Draygoes]

This is ausom!!!!!!!!!!!! I love mario lol

When he is nervous, you should have him run away from the mouse when it gets neer him lol

[CoePSX]

Fantastic!!!

[Roofel]

Minor bug in the script:) Line 459.

EndIfu is spelled wrong and produces an error:)

Should stand EndIf unless it is in the beta files. :)

Other than that it looks bloody great!<3

Even though the "block" says he is sleeping at 802,96 but cant find him

Maybe add something in the block like "teleport Mario to middle screen" so it is easy to track him?

Edit: You have to download the .rar file and .au3 file to be able to actually see him, forgot that the image files is in the .rar file:)

He started to run around the bottom of my screen? Maybe if you make sure it can't leave the program area (see the snippet below)?

@draygoes

version 5 of this screenmate will include other caracters and baddies from the mushroom kingdom in the same time on the screen only if the user asks for that or the computer is idle (that can count as a screensaver)

the next release of mario will let you modify his behaviour so you can choose what he does when you click on him/point the mouse at him or other stuff...

thx for the suggestion

@Bert

the following code (in the source) was meant to bring mario back on the desktop if he got carried away...

If (($px < 64) or ($px > @DesktopHeight)) Then
            p_jump(Random(1,2)*5,Random(-4,-1)*10,Random(64,@DesktopHeight-96,1))
            mario_walk(Random(0,992,1),$mario_run_delay)
        ElseIf (($px > @DesktopWidth - 64) or ($px > @DesktopHeight)) Then
            p_jump(Random(-2,-1)*5,Random(-4,-1)*10,Random(64,@DesktopHeight-96,1))
            mario_walk(Random(0,992,1),$mario_run_delay)
        EndIf

where $px and $py are the coordinates of mario, but as you can see $px is compared to @DesktopHeight instead of @DesktopWidth and that causes the problem...

thx for telling me about the bug

[Swift]

You should add the Drag-And-Drop mario/lugie feature...I love this...and that would be cool...

[madflame991]

@JellyFish

I am currently working on the next version of Mario that will give the user the posibility to make skins for mario and modify his moods. Alot of other useful features will be added when I get it done.

I thought that combining Portal (from Valve) with MSM (Mario Screen Mate) should be a good ideea but that will only make the desktop more crowded. Adding more caracters will do that too, thou for a screensaver that might just work.

Smashing icons implies that I need to see what's beneath the icon and display that over it, and that's not too easy to do... and of course I don't want mario to use too many resources

Thx for getting involved. I will anounce MSM's next release.

i made a shooting function for your script

it makes mario shoot after the cursor and if he hits it then the cursor shakes a bit

mario is awsome

Edit:

returns 1 if he hit the cursor

and 0 if he missed it.

Edit: just saw that i forgot to include the inrange function.

Cool. Is it normal for Mario to go off the screen for a while?

EDIT: You could add baloon tooltip instead of ordinary tooltip

No source? Most people on this forum aren't going to try your program, they like to look over the script themselves and lean from it, or check it for malicious or bad code before they run it. Post the source and i will try.

I agree!

An update on the screen mate is available. Check the first post for details.

Download the screenmate from here

Anybody is invited to make skins for the screenmate... It's now fully skinnable and configurable, check the 'chars' directory. In the future an editor will be also available.

[james3mg]

wow... just, wow.

really really really impressive!

I almost hate to report bugs but...

-Screenshots tab of Configure dialog (v3.6) chooses my d:\ by default (which is my empty zip disk drive). Maybe use @MyDocumentsDir or @UserProfileDir instead?

-maybe a result of the above bug, but when I click the Visit button (still on the screenshots tab), it opens up my profile directory, where the screenshot is NOT stored.

-If I click Browse and hit cancel, it clears the path where the screenshots will be saved; shouldn't it just leave the path unchanged, ideally?

Observations that are somewhat less than bugs:

-If Mario shoots at my cursor, and while the fireball is still flying toward it I move the cursor closer to Mario, but still in its path (visually hitting the cursor), it passes through the cursor instead of hitting it. Is it possible to check the new mousepos WHILE the fireball is traveling and return a sucessful hit, even if it's before it expected when the fireball was launched?

Opinions/suggestions for future modifications (that I didn't see already offered...I, too would love to be able to click and drag him):

-Settings tab should maybe be the default (front) tab

-General tab should maybe be renamed to "Utilities" and moved to second-to-last (just in front of About tab).

-Might there be an easy way to add a checkbox to the Settings tab to turn off his tooltip sayings?

-Maybe an option in 'Settings' to change the 'Settings' block to a tray icon instead?

Please don't take any of this as me saying that I could do better- I assure you, I can't come anywhere close to what you've done here! I'm just throwing out what I see and some features I'd like to see... Thanks for this very cool script- I'll be checking back often for updates! I'm excited about some of the additions you're already planning!

Edit: Did the alarm functions get removed? I like the idea, especially if I could check a box to also have it Beep() my computer like an alarm clock, so it would get my attention even if I'm away from the computer.

Edit 2: I just noticed, my choice to hide the screen capture button didn't persist when I restarted the program. Shouldn't it?

@james3mg

This was the best reply to my little screenmate project, thx!

I know the bugs exist, but I got carried away and wanted to launch the program faster, I just got tired of debugging. Later updates will fix them.

Mario can be dragged, if you click on him once he will hang on to your mouse.

The reminder/alarm function was removed because it was incomplete and I want to make something a bit more complex. I am hoping that I can make mario do certain stuff when an event happends. This too, will be added later.

I am now working on an editor for the screenmate so anyone can make themes.

Thanks again for the bug list and suggestions!

[Kreatorul]

The way to retrieve the ip address should be changed. For me it's @ipaddress2. Am net de la rds ce sa fac. There was another "function" that grabbed the ip wich you connect to the internet with but I forgot it. Or you can use ie functions on www.ipchicken.com

edit: remembered. _GetIP( )
