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.
