Add other Agents (optional)

An *.acs file includes all required resources (bitmaps, sounds, definitions, etc.) of an agent.Unfortunately, this project does not support *.acs files, yet. But hopefully in the future — pull-requests are welcome.

Until then, you can convert *.acs files with the 'MSAgent Decompiler' by Lebeau Software.This software extracts all resources that we need, from an *.acs.There are a few steps involved.

Requirements

Will be used to merge single *.bmp sprites into a single 32 bit PNG-file.

Will be used to convert *.wav-files in RIFF format to MP3 files.

Conversion

Included in this project is a converter called agent-converter.sh.This tool takes opaque BMP sprites, removes background colors, puts them together to one big transparent PNG file and converts all sounds to MP3. Download airflick for mac.

./agent-convert.sh PATH_TO_AGENT NEW_NAME

AGENT_PATH path to decompiled agent directory.NEW_NAME should only include lowercase letters.

Example

./agent-convert agents/CLIPPIT clippy

Final step

After the conversion step, you will get a new folder called NEW_NAME.agent.

  1. Click 📎 → Show in Finder in the menu bar.
  2. Move it to the Agents directory.
  3. Click 📎 → Reload

If you're still using an older version of Microsoft Office, you might still have the Office Assistant's character named Clippy hanging around. If you're using a newer version you might vaguely remember that paperclip character appearing. Now, it has been retired from Microsoft Office since version 2007, due to strong negative response.

So, what is this article about? It's about a new Clippy, but this time it's a prank. You might be interested in bringing that annoying assistant back to live as to play a trick on your colleagues or family members.

This Clippy is a simulated office assistant that will pop up every minute saying something useless about your computer and can be customized to make it even more realistic and funny. Last but not least, there seems no way to get rid of this character, but there is, if you know the method, you'll be able to stop and remove it.
