REMOVED THE < small >. SO YOUR PRETTY EYES WON'T MISS SOMETHING. AND BOLDED~! 8D(**ADDED SIMPLE AND ADVANCED Q&A** THANK YOU, JAPAN. THANK YOU. )
( GUYS, I KNOW IT'S TL'DR. BUT IS IT HARD TO USE CLTR + F? D: )
SIMPLE
Q: What is Shimeji?
A: Shimeji is a program for windows 2000 and vista, that is basically like your average desktop sitter, or that old purple monkey from the older version's if windows, minus the whole "Rogue adware" thing. They come in all sorts of skin's, its most commonly japanese skins, but recently boards like 4chan have found it, and began crafting skins for it. It's same as BONZIBuddy or sheep.exe, except it's customisable; yes, you can download packs that allow for your favourite characters to walk/climb/be generally cute on your screen.
Q: Why is it called Shimeji?
A: It references to a japanese mushroom, saying like they duplicate like japanese mushrooms.
Q:What do they do?
A: Once you run the program, a icon will appear on your toolbar, diffrent icon's for diffrent skins, usually. As they fall from the top of your screen, they will usually stand up and walk around a bit. For a minute or two they may stand still for a second to call apon coding, then they will wander around your desktop, sometimes sitting down to relax, or climbing along your monitor sides.
Q: Anything amazing?
A: Well, the thing is programmed to be able to climb on windows, and on occasion. Pull them to the point where they can throw it offscreen. (There is a function to make it return to desktop though.) They can also duplicate themselves freely, but you can just use another function to remove all but one. And no, as far as I know there isnt a way to stop them from duplicating, unless you edit the code.
Q: You said something about skins?
A: Sure did! There are alot of skins that have been released in the past. Some off of comic book heroes, some off of japanese vocaloid stuff. Some off of just meme stuff, like coolface, babby, 4chan stuff.
ADVANCED
Q: Does it Work on Mac?
A: Sorry but, no. It does not work on Mac at the moment. It only support Window. The buddy is only scripted for Windows not MAC.
(Also MAC does not have the latest update on Java ) - Anon
EDIT: SHIMEJIS CAN NOW BE USED/INSTALLED ON MACS. LOOK AT THIS BLOG FOR MORE INFO.
Q: Will they ever make one for Mac?
A: I hope they do, but Mac is not supported with this script and so I can’t do anything about it.
Q: Will it work on Window (XP,7,Vista, etc.)
A: Yes, the desktop buddy is only scripted for ALL Windows.
Q: My buddy threw my Window away and I can’t retrieve them! Help?!
A: To retrieve your window back. Go to your task bar and Right Click the icon. Once you have down that, click the 4th option. You’re window will be back to normal.
Q: My buddy just sits around & doesn’t do anything.. Is it normal?
A: Yes it is normal. It’s randomly scripted that way.. You CAN throw them around the desktop. They randomly do whatever they want. Please don’t complain about it Or say something is wrong.. Like I said.. It’s randomly scripted.
Q: How come my buddy doesn’t throw any windows?
A: Like I said, It’s randomly scripted... You must have your window into a little window and do not make them full screen. The buddy do whatever they want.. PLEASE DON’T COMPLAIN THAT IT DOESN’T WORK. Because it does. It takes a long time to do that.
Q: Can I have 2 or more buddies at the same time?
A: Yes you can. Any buddy of your choice can be at the same time.
Q: It doesn’t work, help?
A: If it doesn’t work, you might click the wrong app? Because there is 2 different types. It either has Shimeji or ClickMe. If it does have a ‘ClickMe’ please do so to click that. If not, click Shimeji.exe.
Also if you didn’t extract it, then it won’t work properly. Please extract the file on to you’re destination folder. If you already extracted it, please reconsider to reinstall it.
Other solution; You don’t have the latest Java.. Make sure you download the latest Java go here:
www.mediafire.com/?8bc5ujb1t2t…
Q: “So I extracted the folder to the desktop. Clicked on Shimeji there’s a Japanese error? Then I click on ClickMe there are two folders that appear com and META-INF. What should I do? “
A: Well basically , all you have to do is uninstall Winrar.. try using other version of Winrar.. I heard the free trial winrar is messing around with the ClickMe file.
If the ClickMe file does have a 3 folder books icon.. Then you just need to uninstall it. :] not that hard.
Q: How do you reinstall (remove file)?
A: Make sure you exit out the app. To exit, go to your task bar and find the icon(random icons). Right click the icon and click the 5th option (last option). Once you finished, you can delete the files (folder) and try reinstall it again in the tutorial.
Q: How do you remove/close the buddy completely?
A: To exit, go to your taskbar and find the icon(random icons). Right click the icon and click the 5th option (last option). (its on the tutorial for screen shots)
Q: How do you delete multi characters/clones?
A: If the characters multiply rapidly, it’s best to Right Click on the task bar and Click the 3rd option.
Q: I can’t open .RAR file?!
You need to install Winrar or www.7-zip.org/ in order to open a .rar file.
Q: Does it lag your computer?
A: It depends. We had 1 report that said it lags. It doesn’t usually lag.. Many had multiple on screen and doesn’t lag. It depends how many memory space you have in your computer. That might of cause it.
Q: Where to download WinRar?
A: To download WinRar go here ( download.cnet.com/WinRAR-64-bi… ). I prefer downloading 32 bit just in case your computer is not compatible to 64bit.
IF YOU DON’T WANT TO USE WINRAR, please download this one. www.7-zip.org/
(Others)
Q: 'I want it too...but it doesn't work on my computer...when I double click the "shimeji.exe" theres a dialog box saying its potentially unsafe file type of .exe.'
A: If you are trying to open the shimeji.exe file and you recieve an error message in Japanese, this should override that error. kpopdesktopbuddies.co.cc/post/…
Q: "I have a quick question about making my own Shimeji.
When making these, my friend and I have been having a problem with transparency. When we make the images to replace the template and then transparent it, when it's mirrored to be facing the right (unlike the image in the img folder, which faces left), the transparency stops working and the image loses its color
If we leave the background color white or another color, it stays solid and then both the image and the mirrored work fine, except for the backgrounds of both not being transparent
Do you know how to fix this?"
A: If your program has a magic wand tool, go to whatever layer has the hair colour and use it with 0 tolerance outside the hair. invert selection and exterminate any pixels outside the outline. It seems shimeji doesn't have support for opacity/transparency so if there's even just 1% left of a pixel it'll show up in full force, so use pencil mode on your eraser.
A tip when colouring is also to use the magic wand tool inside the area to be coloured on the layer of the outline (and then change layer) and then use the extend option with 2 or 3 pixels, this should let you avoid ever getting pixel problems.
Q: .ZIP doesn't work, dumbass. How'dya make 'em work? My computer/laptop hates .RAR.
A: WELL, EXCUSE ME, PRINCESS. >.> Ahem. There are two methods.
Okay, if you downloaded the ZIP file and it doesn't work it's most likely because ZIP doesn't conserve the japanese file names for the XML files it needs to work with. So to get it to work you need to rename two files inside the CONF folder.
The one that's 43kb in size should be 動作 and the 10kb one should be 行動.
or.
Get a working Shimeji. Copy all the files except "IMG". Meanwhile, on the non-working shimeji (.ZIP), Delete all files except "IMG" and paste the copied files. If it still doesn't work after you've done that, then I don't know what's wrong. D; Sorry.

My computer has a large screen and the shimeji shows up very small (the size of a profle picture on here) unlike everything else. is there any way to fix this?

i have a question with a shimeji i made. It doesn't land on the taskbar, but instead lands past it where all you can see is the head? DOes anyone know how to fix that issue?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I extracted your no-clone eevee shimeji. I then click on the shimeji.exe file, and it shows some kinda japanese popup. Theres an option (though, I can't read it, I believe it says yes/no)
If you click the option on the left (most likely "no") it will close the popup and the shimeji wont run. Click on the option on the right, (im guessing it says "yes") it will open my browser and bring me to a japenese version of java. I downloaded it, and then went back to the shimeji. its telling me to download that version of java again, and I cant seem to get this error message to stop showing. Help please!

I have a small question, my shimeji goes a little too far off the sides of my screens is there a way to change it so I can see them a bit better and they dont go at all off screen?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I know this is sort of an old journal, but I can't seem to figure out how to solve these problems.(Also, Shimeji not made by me)
1. For some reason there's a white outline. I know it's not a problem with the PNG because I inspected the images on Medibang and the outline is perfectly fine. Is it an error with transparency?
2. The walking on ceiling animation is glitched and displays half an inch or so off of the actual top. Is this just because I'm using a Mac which has a different margin for the top? (Using wine-bottler to run program)
3. When I right click, I can't access a menu. I have no clue how to read Japanese so I'm not sure if the main menu can give any hints but I can't control individual Shimeji, making controlling duplication very difficult. Thank you for your time!

...So, I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem (probably not with how much of my internet searching failed), but I cannot get even the base Shimeji app to open with Java. The actual "java" Application opens a split-second message saying it cannot find or open the Shimeji file, while the "javaw" file I've tried using doesn't even acknowledge that I'm trying to open anything. I've downloaded the most current Shimeji and Java -- even downloaded them multiple times to make sure -- and still no changes. Does anyone know why it's doing this and/or how to fix this?? If I need to, I can try taking a screenshot of the java message that I get..

Which java are you using, if you're still interested?

I have a question! I'm sorry if this has already been asked, but do I need to do something to get my Shimejis to climb/sit on/throw the window? I understand that them throwing the window is rare, but so far they've completely ignored it, not even jumping on it. I'm not sure if I have to edit code or something, because they fall as though nothing is there.
Edit: I'm a Mac user, and I had to edit the Shimejis over to a blank template to get them to work. Could this be why?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Did you ever manage to figure out how to make them sit on the top of open windows and cling to their sides? Mine only do the sides of my Mac's screen as a whole and I'd like to figure out how to make them work.

what do I do if it doesn't appear, even if it has quite.exe file?

I have a slight problem. Ive clicked restore windows but it wont restore my window

I have a question, how do I make my work are stop covering the shimejis? It's really bothering me how it's covering part of the shijemi if it decides to dangle thier legs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the best you can do is manually edit the sprite for that particular action yourself by lifting it up a few till the legs do work (not recommended) or just throw them at a wall when they dangle their legs if it bothers you that much... there isnt much you can do with these guys really, and ive had a few tiny ones fall behind my work area and id have to reboot the program to retreive them or reduce them to 1 in hopes it wasnt the original shimaji, here's to wishing you the best of luck!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I managed to work around the problem, I have to be careful not to touch the hidden icon bar or it'll send it back. The way to fix it is to left-click on it and then spawn another shimeji, and get rid of the original. Thank you very much for the advice! ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ok dokie! glad you figured it out X3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, the problem gets worse. EVEN if I do not touch the hidden bar icon, it'll just be sent back if it's a japanese-created shimeji.

ive noticed alot of the Japanese ones arnt as well made

Yeah, that's true...
Although it still bothers me greatly.

He told me not to worry that he will bring back my man in 3 days time. He consulted his powers and assured me not to worry that he will bring back my man in 3 days time. He did his work and cast the spell and to my greatest surprise, my husband came the third day just as Great Dr Kumar said. He begged me for forgiveness and he promised never to leave me for any reason. We are happy and we live together as one.

My shimeji won't show up. It acts like it's there (dragging window off the screen and such) but it won't show up. When I try to delete the folder it says:
"This action can't be completed because file is open in Java(TM) Platform SE binary.
Close the file and try again."
I tried closing it, but it doesn't show up anywhere. (No icon in the icon bar, nothing even in the task manager!)
I believe I've tried everything, and ANY advice would be very appreciated.
Please help!
