The behaviors.xml file specifies when Shimeji performs each action. More detail on this file will hopefully be added later. When listing images, only include the file name. The actions.xml file specifies the different actions Shimeji can do. The logging.properties file defines how logging errors is done. In general, none of these should need to be touched. Most options are somewhat complicated, but it's not too hard to limit the total number of Shimeji or to turn off certain behaviors (hint: set frequency to 0.)Īll configuration files are located in the in the conf folders. Don't choose too many at once.įor more information, read through the configuration files in conf/. It remembers previous options via the conf/settings.properties file. There is also a tool, Image Set Chooser, that will let you select image sets at run time. Shimeji-ee will ignore all the image sets that are in the img/unused folder, so you can hide image sets in there. Shimeji-ee can eat up to 60% of your system's free memory. If you have too many image sets, a lot of your computer's memory will be used. When Shimeji-ee starts, one Shimeji for every image set in the img folder will be created. Adding 'Call Shimeji' from the tray icon will randomly create add either Shimeji or Batman. Right click Batman to perform Batman specific options. Refer to img/Shimeji for the proper character positions.ģ. The filenames must be the same as the img/Shimeji files. Create and put new versions of shime1.png - shime46.png (with Batman images of course) in the img/Batman folder. You must have an image set that mimicks the contents of img/Shimeji. Basically, you put different folders with the correct Shimeji images under the img directory.įor example, if you want to add, say, a new Batman Shimeji:Ģ. If you want multiple Shimeji types, you must have multiple image sets. Right click a Shimeji for options relating to it.įor a tutorial on how to get Shimeji running, watch this video: Right click the tray icon for general options. This branch of the original Shimeji project not only translates the program/source to English, but adds additional enhancements to Shimeji.ĭouble Click the Shimeji-ee file (Shimeji-ee.jar). Shimeji was originally created by Yuki Yamada of Group Finity ( ). The mascot is very configurable its actions are defined through xml and its animations/images can be (painstakingly) customized.

Shimeji-ee is a Windows desktop mascot that freely wanders and plays around the screen. ** Kilkakon note: This is a tweaked version of the original readme, but is largely the same as the normal one.
