Stars3D v2.1 by Jason Giovannelli, jsg4z@virginia.edu *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Stars3D v2.1 is a new Win32 screen saver for Windows 95/98/NT. New features in v2.1: Bug fix for lock-up problems New features in v2.0: All new 3D animated backgrounds MP3 and CD track support Random background selection Many speed optimizations User's Manual: Playing MP3s: 1) press [Mp3s] button from the Control Panel 2) use the file selection box to [Add] mp3s to your playlist 3) or press [Load List] to load the current Stars3D playlist. 4) or press the [CD track] button to add a CD track to your playlist 5) when your done adding, press [Save List] This saves, and sets the playlist as your Stars3D playlist. 6) when done saving press [OK] to leave the editor 7) make sure to check the box "Play Mp3s" 8) your playlist will play automatically the next time your screen saver is on. Note: Decoding mp3s while rendering intensive graphics may cause the song to skip, or the display to jerk for a moment. This is normal and unfortunetly unavoidable. All other features are pretty self-explanatory. Enjoy! Requirements: Stars3D requires at least a Voodoo1 graphics card. Though, best performance is available with a Voodoo2 card. Voodoo banshee and Voodoo Rush are not guaranteed to work, nor are they supported. For best performance, a good CPU is a must, especially with a Voodoo1 card. The best way to find out what kind of performance you'll get is to just try out this shareware version. Some of the graphics processing is very intensive. If you experience any slow-down with a Voodoo 1 card, simply change some of the options. Voodoo 2 cards should have no problem handling the full set of graphic enhancements. Stars3D has complete password protection. Set and enter the password as you would for any other Windows screen saver.
