Short: Mod. ScrSaver; new features; bugs fixed.
Author: Carsten_J@bbrandes.berlinet.de (Carsten Jahn), Aicke Schulz
Uploader: mrclean@harborcom.net (Ed Barcik)
Version: 2.5 (a)
Type: util/blank
Kurz: Schirmschoner; neue Features; Bugs fixed.
Requires: OS 2.04 (+), MUI 2.2 (+)
Replaces: util/blank/Madhouse.lha, util/blank/Madhouse212.lha, MadAMOS.lha
(Deutscher Text ist weiter unten... schaut' doch mal ab Zeile 63!)
Madhouse is a modular screen saver like others. We tried to make the
main program (the 'server') more configurable and to program nice
blankers - here is the result, we hope you like it!
Main changes version 2.1 to 2.5:
- Better support for graphics cards. (More Screenmode options)
- Bugs fixed (now, we have some betatesters...)
Enforcer / Mungwall tested.
- Sound player facility extended: every player, which supports ARexx,
can be used. Some presets included (Eagleplayer, Delitracker, Hippo-
Player, DAS-Modplayer, Powerplayer). Madhouse is able to start the
sound player on its own.
- completely rewritten Fireworks.
- Hotkeys for blanking/dimming.
- Blankers can be aborted by _just_moving_ the mouse.
- The look & feel of MadhouseConfigEd was improved in many ways...
(Bubblehelp, too!)
- The documentation was corrected by a native speaker, for better
spelling...
Main advantages of Madhouse 2.5
- Unlike all other modular screen savers I know, Madhouse can configure
and start Garshne-, Blitz- and Swazmodules.
- A lot of nice blankers included.
- A dimmer (AGA, Gfx cards possible!) included, to dim the frontmost
screen before blanking. It dims not only to grey, but to a user
selected color!
- Intelligent Random function: remembers how often a blanker was shown
already, and selects one that wasn't shown that often. It is possible
to select the blank priority of a blanker, so Stars will appear 2 x,
while Shuffle appears one time.
- `Immediate corners' can be defined on the screen, for immediate dimming/
blanking if the mouse pointer is on them.
- Madhouse has a seperate configuration program (MadhouseConfigEd), so
Madhouse itself needs no graphical user interface and is rather small.
MadhouseConfigEd uses MUI.
- CPU sensitive. If your computer is doing a complex calculation (e.g.
compiling or raytracing), Madhouse runs no blanker at all or a blanker
that uses nearly no CPU performance.
- Install (+Update) and Remove Commodore Installer script.
- There are other features (like password, exchange blankers...), too...
- a comprehensive documentation, explaining every detail of Madhouse,
ConfigEd and the blankers.
- very low shareware fee of 15 US-$.
I hope you are interested in this archive at this point... time for the
german .readme:
-----
Madhouse ist ein modularer Screenblanker. Wir wollten ein Hauptprogramm
mit vielen Einstellungsmöglichkeiten und gute Blanker schreiben, hier
ist das Resultat...
Wichtigste Änderungen von Madhouse 2.1 zu 2.5:
- Bessere Unterstützung von Grafikkarten (mehr Schirmmodus-Optionen).
- Einige Bugs entfernt, dank der Betatester, die sich auch drum
kümmern... mit Enforcer / Mungwall getestet.
- Die Soundplayer-Möglichkeiten wurden erweitert. Jeder Modplayer mit
ARexx-Port kann nun angesprochen werden. Voreinstellungen für
Eagleplayer, Delitracker, Hippoplayer, DAS-Modplayer und Powerplayer
vorhanden. Madhouse kann jetzt auch den Soundplayer selbst starten.
- Völlig neues Fireworks.
- Hotkeys für's Blanken / Dimmen.
- Jetzt können die Blanker auch abgebrochen werden, wenn man die Maus
nur bewegt.
- Das Look & Feel vom MadhouseConfigEd wurde in vielen Aspekten ver-
bessert. (auch Bubblehelp!)
Das ist das Besondere an Madhouse:
- Im Gegensatz zu allen mod. Schirmschonern, die ich kenne, kann
Madhouse auch Garshne-, Blitz- und Swazmodule starten und konfi-
gurieren.
- Es sind viele nette Blanker dabei.
- Ein Dimmer (AGA- und Grafikkartentauglich), der den vordersten
Screen dimmt, und zwar zu einer benutzerdefinierten Farbe, nicht
nur Grau.
- Intelligente Zufallsfunktion: die merkt sich, wie oft ein Blanker schon
gezeigt wurde, und wählt einen aus, der noch nicht so oft zu sehen
war. Außerdem ist es möglich, eine Blankpriorität zu vergeben: dann
kommt Stars doppelt so oft wie Shuffle...
- Bildschirmecken zum sofortigen Start von Blankern oder dem Dimmer
sind einstellbar. Sie reagieren, wenn man den Mauspfeil hineinschiebt.
- Madhouse hat ein separates Konfigurationsprogramm "MadhouseConfigEd",
das MUI benutzt. So braucht Madhouse keine Oberfläche und ist deshalb
recht klein.
- CPU sensitiv. Wenn Euer Computer etwas berechnet (z.B. ein Raytracing-
Bild oder er compiliert gerade), startet Madhouse nur einen Blanker,
der die CPU kaum benötigt oder zeigt nur einen schwarzen Schirm.
- Installations-/Update- (Install-) und Entfernungs- (Remove-) Script
für den Commodore Installer.
- diverse andere Features, z.B. Paßwort und "Blanker wechseln".
- eine ausführliche Anleitung, die jedes Detail erläutert.
- ein madhouse.catalog, damit auch die Bildschirmtexte ab OS 2.1 auf
deutsch erscheinen.
- sehr niedrige Shareware-Gebühr von DM 20.
Viel Spaß...
