Smoker Shimeji

Edit - just figured out what frames 5-6 are really for durrhurr. Went and edited the animation for her wigglefree a little, so it's not totally silly. Still pretty derpy. May add a frame later if I get the energy to smooth it out but eh it works for now.

ZIP version - if you download this, remember to rename the 47.5 kb file in the conf folder 動作, and the 10.2 kb file 行動, otherwise she won't work!


AND YET ANOTHER POINTLESS DESKTOP MASCOT THING TO AMUSE YOU

Hunter - HunterxSmoker


The counterpart to Hunter, Smoker will limp around your computer and generally be surly about everything. EXACTLY WHAT YOU ASK FOR IN A MASCOT
Like Hunter, she'll toss around windows every now and then, but you can toss her around as well if it comes to it. She also enjoys multiplying...

Smoker also has extra animations, like her Hunter counterpart, and her .conf files have been edited specifically for her, so using her as a base would be... tricky. Unless your character has a limp or something. And has a lot of idle frames while standing/sitting.
Unfortunately the hard pixel edge on the smoke was something I couldn't get rid of. Curses. It looks like the program gives any color other than black a white pixel halo. Things you learn.
UGH SHADING HER FACE TUMORS WAS SO ANNOYING not to mention trying to keep them consistent from frame to frame
speaking of which, her tumors will appear to switch sides randomly, but I can't really do anything about that, that's how the program works.
I didn't think to sizecheck these two against each other when I started, and as a result Hunter will be bigger than Smoker. For once. Also they won't be able to interact with each other, sorry to say. You'll need the joint version for that.
Here's a vid of her in action


Shimeji is a little program that makes a mascot run around your desktop and cause mischief. You can find the original here, and by replacing the image files with your own images, you can make your own.

SOME IMPORTANT INFO

Shimeji can only run on Windows (I've heard there are some methods to maybe get it sort of working on a Mac, but I haven't heard if they really work or not) and you'll need the latest version of Java (Java 6, I believe, and I heard downloading this will take care of that if that's an issue?).


HOW TO INSTALL

1. Click the download link on the right and download the rar. (or if this is causing problems, download it here)
2. Double click the downloaded .rar file and a new window should pop up with a 'Shimeji_Smokerzombie1.5' folder. If that doesn't happen, you need an extractor like winrar or 7zip. Download and install those, then try again.
3. There should be a button saying something like 'extract to'. Click it, and specify an easy to remember location. This should extract the whole folder to this location (MAKE SURE YOU EXTRACT THE WHOLE FOLDER, NOT JUST THE EXE FILE)
3. Go to the folder and doubleclick shimeji.exe (or shimeji.jar, i heard that works too). A Smoker should fall on your desktop.
4. To remove the program, delete the folder.

This might also be helpful.

If you rightclick the little Smoker icon in your taskbar, it'll bring up a menu in Japanese. The options go

1. Spawn a Smoker
2. Come here!
3. Remove all Smokers but one
4. Bring back IE screens (Smoker will sometimes throw your browser windows around if they aren't fullscreen, and also MSN messenger I think)
5. Exit


You can also right-click an individual Smoker and click baibai to get rid of her, haha.



I have one more shimeji planned which will be pretty epic if I ever actually do it. I think I need to draw something else for a while though, too many shimeji frames aaaa
and i still haven't finished that other project i mentioned
