*** SS Marine Aquarium 2.0 Release! ***
This is the discussion thread for the
SereneScreen Marine Aquarium 2.0 RELEASE announcement.
All download version purchasers of the Aquarium from .996 through 1.1.2 are entitled to a free upgrade to MA2.0 for the next 90 days. After that time, if you purchased the Aquarium after February 22nd, 2002, the upgrade will be $5.95. If you purchased the PC or Mac Aquarium retail boxed version, you will be able to upgrade to MA2.0 for $5.95. This upgrade will be available at SereneScreen.com soon. The 3D background will still be a free upgrade (subject to an as yet undetermined future purchase deadline?). 'Regular' fish that Jim produces would probably be free upgrades as well. Fish produced/created by Prolific and Creature Packs by Jim S. will cost extra.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!! :cheers:
|
Just installed it and the new fish are excellent. I like the fish selection feature and the 32 bit option. Getting 60 fps!!!
|
What's the exact URL to get it? - I've got Version 1.1
|
Works a LOT smoother with my Video Card (gf2 pci). Plus like the new fish very much. Everithing else is good so far. Good job Jim and the rest! :TU:
p.s. can anyone point out thread where it says how to change log on ss for xp. i know ive seen it somewhere but cant find it... thanks |
2.0
Wow! I had missed the announcement for this new version, so the e-mail was a complete surprise to me. The SS runs great, I'm running it at 1600x1200x32bits, Windows XP Pro SP1, Athlon XP 1800+ with 1gb DDRam, nVidia GeForce3 Ti500, and I'm getting between 65 and 75 fps. This version seems to jump through a much larger fps range than the original version did, but the result is a much smoother ride. I like it! The extra fish are really nice too, although I'd like to see my favorite tang, an Achillies, in the list of fish eventually. :)

|
dv,
For our part, thank you very much :) |
I just downloaded this version, my monitor stutters and flashed for about 5 seconds before the screensaver comes on. I am running an Athlon 750 with a geforce2 mx 200, I have had no problem running the older demo version. Any ideas?
|
WOW!
I am amazed by the New LioFish .. with moving mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!! you made my day... now the fish a really getting alive! It's alive. alliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive! |
behave ...
Does MA2 include some kind of fish individuality?
|
I am having the same problem---screen stays black and stutters a little for approx 5 secs. before it comes on---runs great after that!
I am running an AMD Duron 800 with a Radeon 7000 All the other versions of the SS including MAT worked perfectly. |
Umm Frog, the Lionfish has been that way for awhile. What version were you running?
|
behave ...
Oups my bad... looking at my last version MAT also has that ... did not noticed :) :o :o :o
|
Well--I just went back up the page and found the notice about monitor negotiation which explains the behavior I am seeing. Somehow missed it at first.
|
There is a poll for people to speak out about this, PLEASE go there and cast your vote.:)
|
Excellent! and thanks!
This is for all the "low end" graphics people like myself. I have integrated graphics on a Gateway. The previous version ran at ~30 fps and looked good to me. This version also runs at ~30 fps and looks good, however, this version runs the same fps if I have all the fish and bubbles enabled or only 3 fish and no bubbles. Just an observation since I did not really see any difference at 40 fps on the older version with bubbles and some fish off. Only a couple of "clicks" at start. Love the new fish, especially redfin butterfly! |
the new fish looks really good, just hope someday they can breath freely with thier gills

Another thing is I notice there's a wireframe layout of the crystal althoguh I don't see a crystal there but the coral, does that mean MA2 actually embbed MAT together? if I input the MAT keycode into MA2, will I get MAT too? or is there any keycode that activate both MA2 and MAT together and the user could turn on/off the crystal in the setting or something like that? |
:TU: :cowboy: very nice padner!! love it as always great work
|
I haven't gotten any email as to how to download although
it appears that others have. I bought my version of 1.0 at Fry's and never had a keycode but upgraded to 1.1 by downloading the trial version of 1.1 with my CD in my computer. Can I do this with the trial version of 2.0? - I have been trying to download it for the past hour and 1/2 but I keep getting dumped off about halfway through the download. |
