-
- * INSTALLATION
-
- To install, simply copy the "South Park 3D Spectacular!.scr" file to
- the windows folder (normaly C:\WINDOWS). Then go the Display options in
- Control Panel and in the Screen Saver section select:
- South Park 3D Spectacular!
- Then sit back, munch some Cheesy Poofs and enjoy!
-
- To remove simply delete the "South Park 3D Spectacular!.scr" file from
- the windows folder, but why you want to do this is beyond my
- comprehension.
-
-
- * SETTINGS:
-
- To get to the settings screen go to Display options in Control Panel and
- in the Screen Saver section click on Settings.
-
- Polygon Resolution sets how many polygons make up the characters. The
- higher its set the better he looks but the slower it'll run.
-
- The Size option lets you set how big they'll be on the screen. Bigger is
- slower cos um.. it's bigger.
-
- If you've got the PC power stick both options all the way up.
-
- The Sound check box lets you turn sound on and off. Obviously.
-
- The Delay between characters lets you select whether its a short or long
- pause between changes. Note that if ya set it too short you might miss
- stuff.
-
-
- * RELEASE NOTES:
-
- Well about 5 months ago to the day I released The Eric Cartman 3D
- Extravaganza! and I'm happy to say it was quite popular.
-
- After it was listed on the front of www.download.com it went kinda sick
- and by last count has been downloaded afew hundred thousand times!!
-
- Well... I was impressed.
-
- Best of all I had a record amount of emails that simply read:
-
- "Sweeeeeet!"
-
- Then I had a shitload of emails saying:
-
- "Do Kenny!!"
-
- Then I had afew complaints from people who had trouble running it.
- (Some were quite abusive. It was cool! Altho.. complaining about free
- stuff doesnt quite make sense to me...)
- Turns out some people were running wierd ass video cards that didn't
- like it and bits of Cartman were see through or something. I never
- saw it myself but I had enough complaints to get me worried.
-
- So I started it again from scratch using VC++5 instead of BCB4, sent a
- copy to the complainants and got positive responses. Which was sweeet.
-
- So I did Kenny and made him die brutally.
- Then thought, "I've done this much I may aswell finish it off."
- So I added Kyle and Stan.
-
- And here it is just in time for Christmas!
-
- It uses Microsoft's implementation of OpenGL which comes with all
- versions of Win95/98/NT except for Windows95a (I think), so pretty much
- everyone should already have it. But if you need it you can get it here:
-
- ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/opengl95.exe
-
- You'll know if you need it cos you'll get some kind of DLL error.
- Something like GLU32.DLL or OPENGL32.DLL is missing.
-
- Hope you all enjoy it. If ya do email me!
-
- If ya don't.. well then I'll kick you right in the nuts!!
- But you can still email me if you want.
-
- If ya spot any creepy crawlies let me know. I got kind of confused when I was debugging
- and I'm kinda paranoid that I forgot to turn something back off/on...
-
- As with everything else I've done (visit the website for more) if I get
- a good response I'll try and add more. But we'll have to wait and see.
- (I'm sick of the sight of Cartman's fat ass.)
-
- Merry Xmas n all that. And I hope you all get to see this before the
- Y2K thingy destroys the world. I'll see you all in the queue to loot
- the TV store early in the new year.
-
- Enjoy!
-
- PS. Cartman's now even noisier. So crank up the volume and annoy your
- co-workers!
