Nexus- Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 not to condone your efforts but i liked mikey's version better myself, it looks more like the triangle is spinning rather then stopping half way and starting over, none the less tho good job, yeah thats the thing i guess i should have said before: it looks like it stops and starts over because i have to spit the triangle into 2 pieces and i have sucesfully got it to go to the middle but if i want to have the pieces change sides it doesnt do it like i would need it to it makes the triangle flip about 45 degrees inward (think kinda like the text in starwars going in space) and it then proceds to rotate it along this new axis not around the bottom and top axis it needs to be spining it around. Im going to figure out how to get around this that was just proof of concept showing how far i got what i should have done is set it so the thing didnt restart when it was over.

ring0 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 here is what i have so farrename the .zip to .swf on the end that is beyond awesome when this gets all finalized, i dare say this will be the first screensaver i've used in at least 5 years - can't wait :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_joel Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I was able to make a screensaver out of the one that Mikey posted but it wont let me upload the file :blink: :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynicalsomething Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I'm really looking forward to this :yes: Make sure to PM me when there is a screensaver ready :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrickey Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 (edited) Here is my go at it Since I have absolutely no skills in flash so this was made in photoshop, the flash is just for the animation. I find the colours to be more like the ones on the screens in game. If you have any suggestion, just tell me. Since it is bitmap rather then vector, it only looks good on the resolution it was meant to look at, 1152x864, my desktop resolution. http://www.geocities.com/waldmaneric/UAC.zip rename it to UAC.scr for it to run. remeber that if you run it at anything other then 1152x864, it won't look proper.

Nexus- Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 ok anyone know of any good program for making an swf into a screensaver preferably freeware but its ok if its not its just got to do a good job edit: yet this means 1.0 is done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linked Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Ok, here's another question- Anyone know if you can set a shortcut to bring up your screensaver? I usually use Win-L to lock the computer, but it'd be so much cooler if I could use something else and have this come up :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob2687 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 only ones i can find are trial ones with logos and msgs telling you to buy the software :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linked Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 oh, just thought of something- Divertom, when you make it, how big are you planning? Ulra-hi res please :) I run 1600x1200, personally. Try using Adobe Premier, or something to convert the SWF to a AVI... I think MS has an AVI->Scr tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
