lol, you stole my ambitious ln -s project Razz

I think we should write a wrapper that provides the yaf-splash options and runs the cow thing ... should be a cool addition to future Woofications Smile

Thank goodness. Those Lobsters were driving me crazy (sorry Joe)
- and I don't have too far to go . . . Wink

Used your new pet technosaurus
working fine Cool

are there other option such as
Code:
xpupsay --pup=lobster Hello
xpupsay --pup=cow Hello


Ah no - just the one puppy png link?
but have you got all the code in that one 25k pet? Impressive if so . . .

I have streamlined the code specifically for the new pet and Puppy Lucid
As far as I can tell, if flite is not included the program will still work OK

Code:
#! /bin/bash

cd /
xpupsay --pup=puppy --time=2 --dream=/usr/share/doc/community48.jpg "$@"
aplay /usr/share/audio/2barks.au "$@" &
flitet "Welcome to Puppy." | aplay &
xpupsay --pup=puppy Welcome to Puppy."$@"
flitet "Made with Puppy magic, and the best Ubuntu bits." | aplay &
xpupsay --pup=puppy Made with Puppy magic and the best Ubuntu bits."$@"
flitet "What is new for 5.1 of Puppy Lucid?" | aplay &
xpupsay --pup=puppy What is new for 5.1 of Puppy Lucid? "$@"
flitet "Upgraded scripts and programs." | aplay &
xpupsay --pup=puppy Upgraded scripts and programs. "$@"
flitet "New quick pet. More working packages." | aplay &
xpupsay --pup=puppy NEW quickpet. More working packages. "$@"
flitet "Latest Browsers: FireFox, Crome and Opera." | aplay &
xpupsay --pup=puppy Latest Browsers: FireFox, Chrome and Opera. "$@"
flitet "Puppy speaks. Have fun." | aplay &
xpupsay --pup=puppy Puppy speaks. Have fun. "$@"
cd /
xpupsay --pup=puppy --time=2 --dream=/usr/share/doc/community48.jpg "$@" &
aplay /usr/share/audio/2barks.au "$@" &

there is an --image option to, but it requires full path to image
--think makes a cloud-like bubble
--dream is broken - it uses pwd as / (so it only works if you cd to /)

Here is a summary of xpupsay --help
    -t, --time=SECONDS Number of seconds to display message for
    -r, --reading-speed=N Number of milliseconds to delay per word.
    -f, --font=FONT Set message font (Pango format).
    -d, --dream=FILE Display an image instead of text.
    --think Display a thought bubble rather than a speech bubble.
    --daemon Run xpupsay in daemon mode.
    --pup-size=SIZE Size of the pup (small, med, large).
    --image=FILE Use a different image instead of the pup.
    --monitor=N Display pup on monitor N.
    --at=X,Y Force the pup to appear at screen location (X,Y).
    --bubble-at=X,Y Change relative position of bubble.
    --config=FILE Specify alternative config file.
    --debug Keep daemon attached to terminal.

Dear Puppians,

xcowsay can also make use of a .xcowsayrc file in the users $HOME directory. Mine now contains the following:

Code:

display_time=5
alt_image=/usr/share/xcowsay/felix.png
at_y=300
at_x=300


The man file contains a bit more information on what is acceptable as rc content.

Cheers,
vovchik

removed most remaining "cow" references in source package - replaced with pup

changed --dream to use full path vs. relative path from pwd

Anyone worked out how to use multiple lines
or call a text file?

This seems to directly call c programming (printf)
and uses a virtual Richard Stallman (be afraid)

Joe I assume you are not talking of the
alpha channel to communicate with the Lobsterian multiverse Shocked
. . . so this is something to do with masking in Gimp?

It is a fine Lobster incidentally
but I have to watch my egoic tendencies
and try not to encourage them . . .

Vorchik has used his 'felix cat icon' - heretic Wink
Technosaurus is orthodox
. . . and I have a strange feeling that the alligator in Jemimahs pond
may start talking in Fluppy
I hope so anyway . . . Laughing

The new text messages in 205 Lucid are excellent
but I feel this has more potential
readouts, presentation, tutorials, messages, easy intros
for the non-Puppy fraternity etc.

Thank you, technosaurus, for the up date. I have change my temperature checking to use xpupsay. This is a very good way of displaying information that a user needs to see. It is nice that it closes automatically without requiring user action.
