Options

Practically you can use the Anime Guides with the default settings. However you can also customize them to fit your page better.

You can use your own guide images instead of the default images included (I recommend you use your own). Simply make 2 GIF images and replace the default images.

In fact you can use MORE THAN ONE guide like the case of my index page (the first guide to appear is in random and you can click on the "new guide" link to load another guide). First of all locate the following line on your page.

initLoading(new Array("guide"))

Then make new GIF images for the new guides (each guide should have 2 images), and name them in pair as "xxx00.gif" and "xxx01.gif" (xxx can be any combination of letters of your choice). Then modify the above line of codes to include your new guide entries. For example, if you have 3 sets of guides named as "guide??.gif", "eva??.gif" and "ff??.gif", then the new guide array will become:

initLoading(new Array("guide", "eva", "ff"))

You can change the default dialogues (displayed in random) of the guide by first adding this line in options area.

var reiTable = new Array()

Then for each dialogue you want to add, add the following line.

reiTable[reiTable.length] = "dialogue"

Where

• dialogue is the content of the dialogue. It should be as short as possible.

The following variables can also be customized.

• default_msg - a message to be displayed when the user clicks on the guide who is already over a link.
• ok_msg - a message to be displayed when the user clicks for the SECOND TIME on the guide who is already over a link. The corresponding link action will be triggered afterwards.
• msg_leave - a message to be displayed when the guide is about to leave.
• gtext_run - a message to be displayed on the "Guide Control Panel" (optional) after you have ordered the guide to leave.
• gtext_stop - a message to be displayed on the "Guide Control Panel" (optional) after you have ordered the guide to come back.
• msg_coming - a message to be displayed while a new guide is loading.
• msg_hello - a message to be displayed after a new guide has loaded.
• cloud_path - path of the image of the dialogue bubble. Unless it's placed on a path which is different from that of the page, you don't need to change it.

Example:

var default_msg = "Want this download! Click me again~!"

Take a look at this page if you want to see an example of how I use these variables!
