mrwizard59106, if you hold down shift+ctrl and right click on the Yahoo! Widget icon in the system tray (lower right,) there is an option to turn on debugging, then you can try runnig it again and see if there is an error. You could also try manually deleting the ShootIt.widget folder (C:\Documents and Settings\[replace with your profile name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Yahoo\Widget Engine\ShootIt.widget) and any other shootit.widget files you can find, and trying again. I hope that helps.

Dave

I can't get it run on my machine, Win XP Pro. I select Get Widget, Start Install, Run, it downloads, Select Run and nothing happens. I know this works great, i've installed it on other machines.

Great, I love this shit! :)
But unfortunately doesn't work on my second monitor!
any help?

I love this! It's a good way to relieve stress. I also made an AmmoPak for this.

**insane, evil laugh** This is fun. I giggled when I found the daggers. >:D

reapteal, are getting this message when you try to download the widget, or after it is downloaded and you are trying to run it?

you win the internet x2
cant wait for you to make awesome animated desktop mates

hmm, I don't know why but it says I dont have the right application to download.. I use a Mac Mini with OS X (version 10.4.8)

thanks for the great stress releaser.

This is so totally useless, which is what makes is so great. I almost fell out my chair when I used it. Keep up the good work and Thanks.

Really cool way to pass time, but once there are only a few explosions or insects or whatever, it starts to react slowly. Also, it would be way cool if the different ammos could interact (e.g. hammer and nails, hammer and insects, flamethrower melts ice, flamethrower melts insects, machine gun blows up insects, etc.) maybe even make the insects controllable or make them eat the bananas or let us use the paint to turn them different colors. you get the point. landmines are cool too.

This rocks!
I'm sure I'll get much use out of this!

THANKS!

u rock!
rambo meets my powerbook, one problem,shootit on osx it sits infront of hd icon, which for me is a skull, i like my skull icon, it makes me happy when i shoot my screen,so how about a choice for left or right handed shooters ?

我不知道怎么下载

Thats laughs! Thanks!

This is very nice! I remember using an app like this a looong time ago. It had rotten eggs and dirty diapers. Oh and also the support to play pranks on anyone on your network. Don't remember what that was called.......

Anyway, I love this! Brings back so many memories. One thing, though. The belt seems to stay on top of all other screens no matter how below I set it. That doesn't really matter to me too much with most apps I use. Just thought you might want to know this. Maybe I'm missing a setting? Also, the ammo packs don't work if the transparency is set to below 50%.

Keep up the great work! This widget is so much fun! :) Thanks!

awesomeness, just left-click on the belt buckle, and then after it unloads start it again. If that doesn't work, make sure the ShootIt widget file is named "ShootIt.widget".

how do you restart it I mean

dave how do you reload it?

dave, how do you reoad it?

someguy, you have to restart ShootIt after installing the AmmoPaks. If that doesn't do the trick, make sure the ShootIt widget file is named "ShootIt.widget"

i have installed the ammopacks but they dont show up on the belt. what do i do?

Matt, if you remember where saved the file on your hard drive,when you downloaded it, just change the file name. If not, you will have to search your hard drive for it, and then change it.

chris, please make sure that the ShootIt widget file is named "ShootIt.widget", otherwise the AmmoPaks won't be able to find it.

i am having a problem with this widgit. even though i version 3.3 it says that i need to get version 3.2 or higher to download the ammo packs. can someone please help me?

you would think that a 58 yr,old man would have better things to do than amuse hiself with something better,but,your wrong this is great ,thanks for being so innovative three thumbs up,cant wait to show my nephew

So fun!

tom, you need to make sure the widget file is named "ShootIt.widget" otherwise the AmmoPaks can't find the widget.

there is obviosly something wrong....i guess......eerm....uh....$......

hey every time i install this one it ay you need 3.2 to use ammo pack thingy
i click on the new one and it is the same!!! :(

jen, try right-clicking on the download link, and selecting "Save Target As...". Once it is downloaded, if it still tries to open in notepad, then you might not have the Yahoo! Widget Engine installed.

i've been trying to install shoot it but it wants to keep saving to notepad. and now i can't get it to stop. where is it suppose to be saved to?

jordan, when you download it and it asks "Open" or "Save", select "Save". Then when it asks you where you want to save it on your computer, make sure the file name is ShoootIt.widget and you should be fine. If you already have it downloaded and know where it is, you can simply go find it and rename it like you would any other file on your computer.

how do you know if the file name is shootit.widget
and how do you change it

the ammo paks arent workin' HELP!!!

great widget! ur ammo paks r the best!

OMFG sorry you guys my brother got my computer. he tried to use this but it wouldn't work for him. I figured it out so know it works. again I am so sorry. it is awesome.

WHAT THE HECK!?!?!? this thing is a piece of crap!!! none of the ammo works at ALL!!! it says I have to download at least version 3.2 and I have!!! about 30 FRICKING TIMES!!!!!!! so please tell me why this piece of crap wont work. please.

it is one of the best widgets

Clayton, the ShootIt widget file must be named "ShootIt.widget", for the ammopaks to install properly.

OMG im trying to add diferrnent sets to it like watergun and stuff but its saying ammo packs require verision 3.2 i already have 3.2 ,some one help me

jacob, what seems to be the problem?

y cnt i download these

movable targets would be nice, mabye interation with bouncy ball, if thats even possibl. mabye some "TargetPacks" but it is a totally awesome widget! I havent had any problems at all. Really helps with anger

This is one of the best widgets I have ever seen! All of the other widgets are nothing compared to the awesomeness that is shooit! All I can say is, bring on more ammo paks!

it's fantastic !!!!

How about some kind of moving target to shoot at rather than just blasting holes everywhere. Great fun though.

Benjamin, everyone is welcome to make an AmmoPak. If you go to http://gilpin.us/AmmoPak/ you can find some notes on creating one.

Hello, love the concept, would very much like to make an extention , like all the other guys. Can Email the final version. Plesase Post

Thank you Dave!

you should make something that tints and shades the computer screen.

O srry Dave, i should of thought about that before. Well I quess all I can say now then is, Good Job, Good Luck, and, Well, Great Widget!

Secret, the name of the widget file is dependent on the user when it is downloaded. What is happening is that when someone downloads the file and it has the same name as a file already in the internet cache, the browser changes the default name of the new file to something else (i.e. ShootIt (2).widget) I am currently working on possible resolutions.

Dave are you gonna update the ShootIt widget so it says ShootIt.widget for your next version? Cause if you do it will save you and a lot of people time. And this is an AWESOME widget you should make some more!

Andy, AmmoPak 10 is being worked on by Mohit.

Srry Dave. I read all your stuff and got it to work. Thx again!

Why cant i install ammo packs?!?!?!?!?! Once you read this see if you cant fix the problem dave, THX!

Ive been looking around here and I can't happen to find ammopak 10. Could you please direct me to it? Thank you!

Hehe, Looked back to posted comments from a while back, and found that the ".widget" Thing works and you do have to run the ShootIt widget once before installing the ammo from the ammopaks.

I just relized the other peoples comments about having trouble, and i tried the things you said to do, and the ammopaks still don't work. Any more ideas?

Nice widget, but it won't allow me any ammopaks

Manny, please make sure the ShootIt widget file is named "ShootIt.widget".

The widget is great, but I'm having a problem using the other weapon packs. It says that I don't have version 3.2 (which I do have) and it gives me a link leading to this page. Help?

Thx Liz theat worked for me. And Dave Thx for this Widgit it is so cool.

Bob, I am afraid we are pushing the envelope here. The widget engine really wasn't intended to do things like this. There are no drawing subroutines in the engine. Drawing is a matter of positioning, sizing, and rotating images with scripting.

I really like this widget just to dink around sometimes. I really do like this widget, but its performance is pretty bad. I don't know if it is due to your code, the yahoo engine, or architecture(I highly doubt) but really the only issue I have this is even on my massive tower( P4 3G, 2Gig of ram and Radeon X700Pro) some of the ammo, and the response times are terrible. They don't draw well at all, chainsaw and paint are the worst, but the flamethrower is really bad too. A lot of the addon ons are REALLY slow to draw, which is just silly. I think you or people making add ons, or both need to really take a look at how well some of these work. The paint on draws straight lines trying to follow mouse movements.

Also, any chance we could get an update to change ammo size based on ammo type rather than for all ammo types?

Liz, you need to install the Yahoo! widget engine to use these widgets. Look at the top of this page for "Download". If you go there you can download what you need.

I downloaded this widget but when I try to run it, it says my computer doesn't know what to do with the file and how to open it. Windows gives me a link but I go there and don't know what to do. Please help!

raksha33, you have to make sure the ShootIt widget is named "ShootIt.widget" before installing an AmmoPak. Others are also having this problem, so I am going to do another update that will indicate to the user if the name of the widgtet isn't correct.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I try to load the new ammo & it keeps saying it can't locate the data folder for the Shoot It Widget. I've downloaded the Shoot It many times & still have no luck. Can I get some help please? This is one of the most Wonderful widgets EVER!!! What a stress reliever when my comp. is acting up, etc.!!! I LOVE the Shoot It widget & Can't wait until I can use the new ammo too!!! Thank You So MUCH for all the hard work!!!!! This is a ... well it's a 'Blast' ! lol

I'm going to post AmmoPak10 this week, with snow time!!!

Nick, what is the problem you are having? Ally, I believe Mohit is working on AmmoPak 10.

I love this widget! It's so cool! It's the best widget in the whole world!!! But I have a question. Where is ammo pack 10?

Dave i have run this widget many times and i can still not get it to work

this widget will bring me years of desktop smashing joy. god bless you dave gilpin

Great widget!

Can you make it obey the level of window property? It want to always be on top.

Brad, you have to make sure the name of the ShootIt widget is "ShootIt.widget", and you have to run it at least once before trying to install the AmmoPak.

Nevermind agian lol.... I typed in .widget at the end of the name and still that window pops up

oh nevermind, i figured it out

Hey awesome Widget, just one question, it says that i need to download the 3.2 version, and i did, and it still say it for the AmmoPaks

Nick, the ShootIt widget has to be named "ShootIt.widget". If it is not, the AmmoPaks don't know where to install.

I watch my Dad Do this stuff:)

I love this Widget Dave........I do not know how to write java script (due to disability I can't sit at computer long enough to learn) so I can't make an "ammo pak". I'll bet you write them up in no time Dave, could you do a bow & arrow and aslingshot with a rock or metal ball for ammo? Those could each go in thier own pak?!

I love shootit but i cant get any of the new ammo paks to work

Thank you so much for your help, Mr. Gilpin! ShootIt is soooo cool!

Thanks I'll see if it works!

best widget ever!!!!! keep up the good work. I was thinking of maby a jigsaw to chop up the screen. or mabu termites to eat up the screen. targets would also be kool. : )

andywonders, you can find a quick quide to building your own AmmoPak at http://gilpin.us/AmmoPak/

how to make more ammos??????????????????????????????????

hey how about ammo like handgun that delete files and floders?
that great widget!!!that works!!!!

Dave.
e-mail me it please

justin.pang@shaw.ca

thanks

Jay, replace ".zip" with ".widget" in the file name.

If any of you are having problems installing an AmmoPak, and know that you are running 3.2 or later of ShootIt, please verify that the ShootIt widget, is indeed named "ShootIt.widget" otherwise the AmmoPak will not be able to find it's new home.

i have it in a zip.
what am i spoto do now?
thairs no info ware to pout it.

Ally, why don't you email me at shootit@gilpin.us and I will see if I can get you going. Jose and boby, search the gallery for "ammopak" or "shootit" and you should find the AmmoPaks used to install new ammo types. Thanks for the great input everyone.

Hey! This shooter thing is soo awesome!! It's really fun to do to pass time. Well, keep making the cool widgets!!

I love it! It's so cool! Just one thing though. I ran the 3.2 version 50billion times but I can't install the new ammo things on to my belt! A pop up keeps telling me to download the 3.2 version even though I'm using it and I've downloaded it two times! Can you please help me?!?!

P.S. ShootIt is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool!

How do get the flamethrower, the dart, laser raygun and Colorgun.

how do u get the new 1s?

an idea for another ammo pack would be to include a chain saw and a flame thrower

This is version 3.2

ANYONE HELLO!

how do you get version 3.2

PS. I think a cannon ball would do more damage than that

i love it! do you think you could use some ideas from this program?

http://brianx.com/brrumoursdesktop.html

You have to run 3.2 at least once before installing an AmmoPak. If that doesn't do the trick, email me at shootit@gilpin.us

Hello Mr. Gilpin... I have a little delima!... I ran the widget and it comes up but then when I try to install the ammo pac 1 it says i dont have it although i have ran it twice. then the other two ammo pacs say that i need version 3.2 although I have downloaded it three times. please tell me what to do

HANI, you have to run version 3.2 at least once before you try and install the AmmoPak.

This is the most best widget ever-It's better than any other! Also,I thought of some new weapons that could be kinda nice; Some of them I thought of might be toony, but it's worth a shot. Here's the ones that I thought of:Magic Wand, Pie, Claws, and A pointy emerald.

hey i downloaded 3.2 and the shootit ammo pak 2 but the new weapons wont work it just keeps saying i dont have the latest version. other then that this is the coolest widget ever

Guys please don't ask for any new weapons, just give ideas as i have submitted 2 AmmoPaks (A widget that is an Add-On and adds more weapons to the belt) and Dave (Autor) has submited one. I will be submiting 4 more which means all in all there willbe 13 new cooool weapons coming on the belt. have fun and keep destroying your desktop

Mohit

Best widget ever! Perfect for target practice on a desktop background of G.Bush.

Cool little toy! There are a few things that could be done better. But I think that it is awesome!

1) I have componentized it, so adding ammo will be easy, but still need to document it. When that is available, it would be simple for someone to build that into an ammo. 2) I am afraid I tried that, and it looks a little different but not much. 3) I have thought about the ability to move the belt, but that feature is a little lower on the list, so I don't know how soon it will happen. Thanks for the input.

Very cool. I do have a couple suggestions:
1) Have several different images for each ammo type, and select which one to use at random so it's not so cookie-cutter.
2) Layer the shot images behind previous ones, that way you can't shoot a hole in an existing hole. Start with a z-index much higher than you expect anybody to ever reach (10,000,000 is usually good), and then decrement from there with all subsequent shots.
3) Make a version that will float on the desktop, but will only fire when I hold down a modifier key. That way I can work and use it at the same time. As a programmer, I often find the need to SHOOT STUPID CODE THAT WON'T WORK, and this widget is very "therapeudic." Greater functionality would be nice. Thanks for your work man.

haveyouseenme, I think the problem is that the color depth of your computer is not set to 32-bit (true color.) If you change that and find that you still have problems, please contact me at shootit@gilpin.us and we can diagnose further. Joe, the widget wouldn't work if it was in the background.

Great Widget, Only thing is that on windows, you cannot get it to go below program windows like most widgets do.

from all the positive feedback, it sounds like a good widget, I have recently downloaded it, but i cant seem to get it to work, there is no bullets or sound, and when i want to shoot a weapon, nothing happens after i click on a weapon then any other part of my desktop

I am working on an expansion pack. So far, I have darts and the flame thrower (needs a little work.) Working on an Axe as well. I am also going to work on the dual display. I will see if I can do anything with the sounds, but unfortunately we don't have much control over sounds, so what seems right timing-wise on one computer may not on another computer.

It is awesome and works great i have a windows and it works perfectly i love it.

I like it! One thing I would change is the silence at the end of the machine gun sound. It's odd to see it fire, but not hear it. Other than that, it works great!

Very funny! I can use this to amuse clients while editing their video, reviving those few sessions that don't go well.

Any chance of making this work with dual monitors? (Not a big deal).

Excellent!

Mindless fun! More ammo! More sounds! More destruction! Needs a flamethrower, for sure! :)

This is great!!! & then some!!!!! Please Keep up the GREAT work!!!!!!

Not stupid. It seems to be happening to a few others as well. If someone having the problem and willing to help me diagnose the problem, will email me (shootit@gilpin.us) I will see if I can fix it.

Am I just stupid or what? I can't get this to shoot. HOW does one make it shoot?

Am I just stupid or what? I can't get this to shoot. HOW does one make it shoot?

its not working. I select the ammo and click on the desk top-doesnt do anything. even when i HUD the widget engine-=nothing. I can right click and change ammo-thats about all.

This one is freakin awesome. The only reason I don't give it 4 stars is that I wish their were a few things that hold this widget from being perfect (I don't just give 4 stars to just anyone :-P). First of all, I wish the machine gun reloading sound were a little better (kinda laggs between shots, but still fires, though not that big of a deal). Secondly, the rocket launcher sounds more like a bomb being dropped, but again, this is just me getting nit-picky. Also, I really wish their were a way to change which corner the ammo belt was on (but that might just be me). On the plus side, this widget is GREAT for getting out your frustration (I thought Blh's comment was hilarious), as it's true - sometimes you just gotta show your programs who's boss. Also, the interface is pretty clean, though to add a suggestion, I think it might be cool if you could have the belt show up on the Konfabulator desktop, but allow you to switch out and keep shooting your screen (thou

henrik and AltF4, are you on Windows or Mac? You can contact me at shootitATgilpin.us (replace the AT with @)

The thing won't shoot anywhere. I click on the ammo and click and nothing happens! HELP!!

i cant get it to shoot because each time i click on the ammo either the widget closes or does nothing at all. :(

i cant get it to shoot because each time i click on the ammo either the widget closes or does nothing at all. :(

That was funny. Does that make them Rogue Aps? I will see if I can fix that, at least on Windows (I don't have dual display capability for my Mac.)

I'm running dual displays. I can only shoot on the primary display. This allows apps on the second monitor to taught me without fear of reprisal.

Great fun!
I really like this one...great stress reliever when work gets hectic.

If you do an update it would be cool to have a fully automatic machinegun :)

Okay, version 3.0 should be available soon. Please let me know if you still have the same problem afterward. You can email me shootitATgilpin.us, just replace the AT with @.

i sorta like the other one but love this one. thanz

no sounds either. doesn't appear to be anything happening. one click on the ammo, then i click on the desktop...nothing.

Are you hearing the sounds, but not seeing the shot?

when i click on my desktop to shoot, no shot holes appear, what would the solution to this be?

Great FUN!
A great way to take out my frustrations on Windows.

Fun stuff, I've always wanted to blow the head off that sxn-of-a-bixtch. Right... let's see who's next on my list...

John, the ability to hide the interface should be available in the next release. Thanks, Dave

AZ, It sounds like the "back" image is not getting positioned correctly. Try renaming the widget and running it. Let me know how it goes. Unfortunately, I am unaware of a way to make the widget engine play more than one sound at a time, and what is happening is you are clicking and starting a new sound before the other is finished. I could put the widget to sleep long enough for the sound to finish playing, but then the widget would seem really slow. I will look into the space bar option. As to the belt, it is a bandalero which commonly worn across the chest. Thanks, Dave

great widget, but it woulnd be nice to have more options, such as being able to hide the belt and select ammo from the preferences.

Dave, I'm noticing that when I fire, the bullets and rockets don't land where my mouse pointer is. Also, you should make it so that a person can just use the space bar to fire, or hold it down for rapid firing, while using the mouse pointer to aim. You should also add a machine gun - that would be fun! And lastly, when the rocket fires, the sound bite associated with the rocket cuts off abruptly at the end instead of naturally trailing off like it should - so that needs to be fixed. :Lastly, please make some other interfaces other than the belt, or at least make an option for the belt to be horizontal or vertical (diagonal doesn't make sense), and make it resizable.

Oh Lordy! HooooRaahhhh! I like it.

CP, you might edit the widget and change the "opacity" of the "back" image to a higher number, and see if that works. On my windows system a value of 1 works fine. On my Mac, I had to bump it up to 13 to work. If that doesn't fix the problem, another possibility is that something is keeping the "back" image from gaining focus. In this case you could diagnose it by turning any other programs off until it does work, then you would know what the conflict is.

AZ, for you it sounds like the "back" image is not getting positioned correctly. Try renaming the widget and running it.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,
Dave

I have a problem with using this widget: I can only shoot when I click on the belt. An other part of the screen does not work. How to solve this problem?

The new enhancements are top notch. For the next version can you add darts or throwing knives, maybe arrows?

Great Widget. I like having pictures of people on my desktop when I use it.

Ed, you might try editing the minimumVersion tag and trying it. I no longer have the earlier version installed, and so I couldn't be sure how far back it would work.

Too bad it only works on Konfabulator 3.0. Oh, I'm sorry, I meant 'Yahoo Widgets 3.0'. (and no, I won't upgrade)

Nothing sadder than wasting your time, downloading a time-waster only to have it not work and end up wasting your time. :-(

Looks cool though.

Cheers,
Ed T.

its very fun i like to shoot at the moving widgets :)

I'm going have big fun with this widget (I hope so).

simply put, good.

Okay, I added the shotgun and rocket launcher, as well as an ammo belt interface. The new version should also work on the Mac. I am still trying the other ammo types and the ability to hide the interface (if desired.)

Enjoy,
Dave

I can't find it on my desktop so I can't use it, Can you tell me what is wrong why I can't see it?

The filename is ShootIt.widget

I cannot find it nor use it on my desktop. What widget file name are you using so I can temporarily remove it until I find out what's happening?

OMG this thing rocks. Every developer needs this widget... "syntax error at EOF"? oh ya? pow. I agree that a shotgun option would be a big plus. ooh an automatic would be kind'a cool.

When I start the widget there is no action at all.
Unfortunately, because I need to shoot my desktop
a few times!

great fun for those people who demand to use your computer {public] eithout saying please [[[[hehehe]]]]]

Great stuff man, My desktop needs to be shot at least twice a day. keep it up

To turn it off, right-click and select "Close Widget". I am working on updating it so you can clear the desktop without having to close the widget, as well as adding some of the other requested features.

Thanks,
Dave

great fun!

how do i turn it off?

I like it but I'd like to see some changes. Maybe the widget could bring up a little gun icon you can click on to turn it on and off. Also, I'd love to have a fully automatic mode, or a shotgun mode.

Amazing widget! Maybe multiple kinds of weapons in the next version?

I love this widget, I'll use it daily. What I did for easy access was make a shortcut for it and dragged it to my QuickLaunch toolbar, better than a holster.

this is a great widget its so much fun.I also think that Different guns would be a great idea my suggestions are-machine gun,rocket launcher,flame thrower,shotgun,tnt,granades,etc.O and also it would be cool if you made a target like a walking person that walks around your desktop and you have to find him and shoot him,or pop up targets like the ones they use in police training.

Wow, thanks for all the great feedback. I shall see what I can do about all of your suggestions. For those that are unsure how it works, I should have put a better explaination. After the widget loads, you you click on your desktop and it should look like you are shooting holes in it.

Thanks,
Dave

Great widget! Lots of fun!

I think it would be a cool idea if you could have an icon for it like a gun or shotgun that you can click when you want to shoot instead of having to open the widget. Similarly for stopping it.

More options would be great as well.

Improvements:

Different guns (machine gun, shotgun etc)
It doesn't remember clip size
Rocket launcher? :-P

Amazing widget......

"SHUT DOWN!!! SHUT DOWN!!!"

BOOM-BOOM-BOOM

I cant find it...

Awesome widget. There should be a "clear screen" context menu item (or somewhere), and maybe a bullet size option.

I like the idea of the widget, but how does it work?

This is by far the best for-fun Widget ever devised.

HAHA I love this widget, lol great idea...
