what's this!?
kwsk!!!

Is it MS Agent Characters?

I want the "osuwari emirichan.exe"!!

how do you get this

i'm rewriting the programs for these since the code i used was clunky (reused code i wrote for the ichigo mashimaro sitters). i'll post the new programs when i'm done. he's a liru-chan one (if you want to play with it) that uses the new code. (save the pic, rename to zip, then use winrar to extract).

fixed emiri-chan version. same save/rename/unzip.

Nice... Thx very much! Can't wait for the others.

You know what would be great? An option to fix them on a certain window even if its nit the aktive one.

Example: I would like to fix them to my winamp.

Picture related of course

>option to fix them on a certain window even if its nit the aktive one

Interesting feature. i'll look into it.

The Liru one doesn't feel like Liru at all. You make the images or get them from the intarweb?

Other thing, the borders are extremely "sawed", can't you use a smooth border?

Man, my english sucks so much today.

>The Liru one doesn't feel like Liru at all. You make the images or get them from the intarweb?

the image isn't mine (it's the one in this gif) and at that size, it's hard to get any detail to make it look "right". if you can find a better one at that size, i can try using that one instead of the one that's being used now.

>Other thing, the borders are extremely "sawed", can't you use a smooth border?

there isn't really a "best way" of getting a clean smooth border due to the way windows does it's transparency. adding a smooth border causing some of the trapnarency colors to show and ruins the image even more (the emiri-chan one has that problem, you'll notice some green at the edges).

Might I suggest pixelated work instead of anti-aliased?

waiting for yuki ...

Thx. Hope it's not too much work.

Here's a clean version: http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/view/38269

I know what the problem is, now. The image you used is too opaque. Liru's boots hex color are #EEEDE9, but in the program, they are... well, darker (couldn't get it). So, in short the image in the program is too opaque.

>waiting for yuki ...
>Thx. Hope it's not too much work.

i'm redoing the yuki-chan gaphhic to make her reading a book and fix her long legs (lol). so it'll take a bit longer. in fact someone on 4chan
(when it was up) wanted yuki-chan reading a book, flipping pages and would stop and look up when you mouseover her.

>I know what the problem is, now. The image you used is too opaque

yeah, that image is a lot better. the one i uses was dithered to reduce the number of colors so that's why the colors were "off". i'll use the one you indicated and see how it comes out. i was hopingyou'd find a pic where's she's already in a sitting position but i can alter this one to the sitting position (like i did with the first one).

I just want to say how great the fact is, that you do all this stuff. It's freeware and still you work hard on it and you accept suggestions of other users.
You have my respect, sir. And I hope the other users respect you and your work the same way as I do.

Thanks for the compliment! It's helps me keep up with programming on windows so I son't mind trying out new things. Plus many of the suggestions are things that I could use in other applications.

The feature to "stick to a specific app" seems to be coming along, just need to think of what to do when the app closes (right now the character ends up sitting in midair...lol).

bump because its so good and have to stay alive until all figures are rdy to download.

Regarding the changing pose into reading book, is it possible to include several different poses and possible outfit combinations into one file? I recall a long time ago when I saw an Ayanami Rei program which would sit on windows, and you could swap her clothes from plug suit to school outfit, and wearing bandages or bandage-free.

For Yuki, you could probably have two options of wearing her brown cardigan or not, and wearing glasses or not. :D For poses... reading a book, typing on a laptop on her lap, waving a mouse around? :D

Sounds like many hours of work. For me its enough when they are done with "fix to window"-feature.

>bump because its so good and have to stay alive until all figures are rdy to download.

no need to bump. i'll just make another thread when done. i tried deleting this thread so i could post a new one when done but i forgot to put a delete password. but i guess it doesn't matter if this thread remains.

>Regarding the changing pose into reading book,...

i'm not good at creating images from scratch. got any that i could use of the other types (cardian, glasses,etc)? it's best if it's a front view. these are from this graphic.

>Sounds like many hours of work

it's time-consuming but i don't mind since i want the program too (lol). the attach works but it does some odd things when the attached program is closed or minimized (that's what i'm working on now) or when all windows are closed. the character ends up floating at the last window closed. clicking on the desktop makes the program respond but it's not detecting all windows closed.

Thx for update. Its interesting to hear how the project is going.

I get an annoying black box around them (see pic). Any way i can remove it?

I'm really enjoying this project. However, I don't understand how to even start or get involved. Is there a program to apply these pics to or a program to download?

Fap fap.

I meant, bump bump. Worksafe.

just an update. i got all the routines i needed to that will handle the oddities i ran into when expanding the program. but the logic is different enough that i need to recode from scratch, but i have the algorithms in mind so it shouldn't take too long. almost there.....wow, and all's i wanted was a blinking sitter (lol).

>I get an annoying black box

i had this problem before and was related to the differences in the OSes. which OS are you using?

YEAH! I'm so looking forward to the release. :D

>>6684
I use winxp pro SP2.

1 question: Will there be an Mikuru in school uniform? Because I like her more in "normal mode" than in "Magical Mikuru mode".

this is not the final version but just wanted to see what you all thought so far (embedded in jpg).

>I use winxp pro SP2.

Hmmm, not sure why that is happening since this is being written/tested on xp pro sp2.i changed a few things in this version that might stop that from happening.

>Mikuru in school uniform?

that shouldn't be a problem...if i can find a image that'll work out okay.

I guess I'm not quite sure what I'm doing, but I can't get her to sit on the top of windows like your screenshots have. I can just slide her around the bottom. The "stick" mechanism doesn't really work, or, more aptly, I don't know how to work it.

>>6746

>>6618 and >>6690 here, unfortunately, i'm still having the black box

>I guess I'm not quite sure what I'm doing...

you probably clicked the "attach" when the sitter was still at the bottom. clear the attach then let it sit on a window (click on an active window) then click the attach set. it should then "stick" to that window.

>unfortunately, i'm still having the black box

i'm not sure what's casuing that. but i'll look into it.

i'm still working out the bugs so there'll be problems with it. let me know if you find any.

Thanks, I figured out what I was doing wrong. I had the slider for sitting position very far to the right, but when I switched to a narrow window, she doesn't show up if her sitting position would be past the width of the window.

Awesome! The new attach mode is great and works very good. Thx so much :)

>>6752

Something i noticed that might help: hovering on the box and right-clicking on it is the same as doing it on the girl (big smile, and context menu)... but when i try these actions between her and the box, it's the usual (OS) context menu showing, and she doesn't change faces.

>>6761

I'm not the developer of these, but I noticed two things in your screenshot that may help him. The first is that you seem to be using something other than the default Windows theme. The second, probably less-helpful thing is that it looks like a different language Windows.

First, thanks for your work on this. It looks like if you have an application that is "always on top," the legs are behind that application. Is there a way to be on top of the always on top?

Hmm... the app should hide if the window that it was attached was also minimized (to the SysTray, for example). The current behaviour is quite bothersome.

Other thing, for some reason it doesn't shows well in Luna Element theme: http://lunaelement.net/

A GUI tip, the Quit option should be the last one, as the 98% of the programs.

>>6763

I already thought about the windows theme, but i have the same result on either the windows xp theme, or even the windows classic one.
As for the language, i'm indeed on a french version of winXP.

Bump for awesome. And for easy-finding by developer.

Bump for more!

>First, thanks for your work on this. It looks like if you have an application that is "always on top," the legs are behind that application. Is there a way to be on top of the always on top?

One of the problems I'm working on.

> Hmm... the app should hide if the window that it was attached was also minimized (to the SysTray, for example). The current behaviour is quite bothersome.

The reason I didn't make it work that way was this is a sitter app so it needs to sit somewhere and I didn't want to put more icons in the system tray.

>Other thing, for some reason it doesn't shows well in Luna Element theme:

http://lunaelement.net/

There's no black outline around the pics so it may not look good on some themes. It's a matter of adding that to the pics.

>A GUI tip, the Quit option should be the last one, as the 98% of the programs.

That's only true of apps that have a menu bar. But I agree that it's in a strange place right now (mostly due to my adding options so will probably move later).

As for that black box; it's fixable using a "kludge" which I was trying to avoid, but to quickly fix it I guess I'll use it. tHis problem always pops up due to so many differences in the graphics drivers/os theme/selected colors/etc (so many variables).

bumping because these things are cool and I want the author to stay interested enough to make an Etna one.

MOAR

Can i get a copy of haruhichan? :)

>>7051

That's what I've been wanting. That and the previously mentioned reading Yuki.

>Can i get a copy of haruhichan? :)
>That's what I've been wanting. That and the previously mentioned reading Yuki.

I haven't rewritten those. but here's the old ones (save pic/rename zip/unzip). they don't do anything but blink tho.

thanks alot, much appreciated :)

Mind if I ask where you get these? Please?

>bumping because these things are cool and I want the author to stay interested enough to make an Etna one.

Etna?

>Mind if I ask where you get these? Please?

I'm writing the programs from scratch.

Oh wow! These are awesome ^_^ i cant wait for a liru one that will stick to a certain window.

nice work . .though I think I've personally drifted from window sitters to rainmeter or programs like it. There is always the problem of wondering if the exe that sittes come in is something bad or not. Not saying yours are . .it's just the whole running an exe for each sitter :/ While with rainmeter skinners just give ya the images and the skin file that can be looked at with a text editor. Although I can't make them jump from the top or bottom of a window that isn't a problem since I'm always maximazed anyhow -_-;; Still though, nice work. Coding can be a tedious task . . i've tried it on several occassions to fail really bad XD

>Etna?

http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/view/78457

I don't know what precisely you're looking for insofar as poses or whatever, but there are about 80 pictures of her through this link:

http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/list/tags/etna

just an update. the routines as they are now aren't easily fixable (iow, it's gotten very messy) so i need to start from scratch again. so it'll be a bit longer until the final version. i know what i need to do so it shouldn't be too far off. the part that is causing the trouble is the sticky part and determining when to stay as the top window and when to move behind the current top window. when it wasn't a sticky, the sitter image was always the top window, but not when the sticky is turned on. so a bit more longer.

as for the etna (or any other) image. any image that's in a front view that's standing or sitting and that's not full of fine details would work.

any chance you'll release the source?

>any chance you'll release the source?

sure as long as you don't use the code in a commerical app (iow, you don't sell it or the compiled app). it's embedded in this jpg file and is the last version i wrote (i haven't started the re-write yet). just save, rename to rar and then unrar it. it's written in borland delphi. if you don't have the program develpoment package, you can get it for free now. borland is giving away it's programming packages (c#, c++, delphi .net, delphi win32) under the name of turbo explorer (giving newcomers a change to learn a programming language). go to http://www.turboexplorer.com and download the turbo delphi package if you want to play with the code. read the pages good since you need to download other items to get the install to work correctly. i downloaded the package and installed it on another pc and it compiled the code with no problem. borland is allowing developers to sell any app they write with these packages (which is why i said please don't sell this app or any derviatives) so you could write and sell programs written with these compilers (which is very unsual for a company to allow this) so have fun (maybe? lol)...and merry christmas?

For those who don't want to install winrar to unembed the files from the JPGs, I found this:

http://www.ericphelps.com/uncheck/

If you change the file extension to .chk and then have it search for embedded files, it seems to pull things out nicely.

To use these you must have download the program here: http://otakuworld.com/index.html?/mascot/program.html

Then apply the files found here. Enjoy all!

>If you change the file extension to .chk and then have it search for embedded files, it seems to pull things out nicely.

this probably won't work since the embedded file is a RAR (which is why you will still need an unRAR program). So it will just extract the RAR file which will then need to be unRAR'd.

>To use these you must have download the program

these don't use that program since these are being written directly into code. i guess you could extract the bitmaps from these programs and use those as the images for the mascot program.

"this probably won't work since the embedded file is a RAR (which is why you will still need an unRAR program). So it will just extract the RAR file which will then need to be unRAR'd."
I wasn't sure it would work either, but I was able to open the ZIP it found inside with Windows' compressed folders handler. So I dunno, I mean you should know what to use since you made it, but I guess I was lucky it worked.

>I wasn't sure it would work either, but I was able to open the ZIP

I think it worked with the other embedded ones that used the ZIP since those I didn't compress the files in the ZIP, but the RAR one is compressed so that probably won't extract the files. I couldn't use a ZIP file this time do to the unZIP being unable to find the correct embedded ZIP. the unZIP looks for the signature "PK" at the beginning of the file but some JPEG files have this signature throughout the file so gets confused and give that "corrupt file" message. so i ended up using RAR, oh well...

When I rename it to zip and open it with winrar, it says the file is corrupted

which one has the Mikuru one?

>>7449

None yet.

are there any of these that are not anime

sorry guys. been sidetracked by a couple of hardware projects. so haven't worked on the new code yet. here's a mod of the emirichan code i did for 4chan's (and 7chan's) /b/tards.

It's okay. Take your time. Although I am eagerly awaiting them :)

Can anyone find more of these.

Related to any anime.

How do you download the Haruhi one? I mean, is there a site you download the mascots at or...do you send them to peple, or what?

B/c I'm new at this and I don't know how to get the Haruhi mascot. ^^;

the haruhi one is embedded in the pic in post No.7073. save the pic, then rename it to junk.zip, then unzip it. i think there's 2 in that one but it's the old-old version that doesn't have the options that the emiri-chan one has.

oh, here's the same one as No.7715 but does something different than just show the time. the menu in in japanese since i did the changes for a japanese bbs site.

>>7896
Shat my pants. I seriously did.
And, anon, you're my hero.
anyone having trouble jpeg-rar'ing >>6683 ?

WHEN YOU SEE IT, YOU'LL SHIT BRICKS.

That is wonderful. I would love Haruhi to do that.

Have the development for this lovely program stopped? ):

Yes.
Bump for developers?
I believe OP has posted Tsuruya (or is it Emiri)'s program...

lol it reminds me of this sheep... hopefully maybe one day we'll have anime characters that are like this sheep great work!

I know that sheep from the "old days". It ran around the desktop while you could work (But you didn't because it looked so cute and you could'nt stop watching it^^). Can sb provide a download link for that sheep? thx :)

didn't realize this board was back up. nobody mentioned it on 4chan (where i waste away the hours posting garbage to /b/tards....lol). anyways, now that haruhi is licensed in the us, is it will okay to make sos-dan sitters? i stopped making the programs (at least the haruhi ones) when haruhi got licensed.

>>11003
I say you're making it for no profit, it's like a computer mod, which are legal.

So DO IT. THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU.

>>11012
agreed, like he said, if there's no profit in it I see no problem...

How did you embed these into *.jpg anyway?

I'm curious as to what application was used ...

>>14257
nothing special, just make a rar and "copy /b in.jpg+in.rar out.jpg" from the command line

>>14258

Aaah, cheers. :)

Does anyone have a better looking Yuki or Haruhi sitter?

Bumping this just because.
