Havey looks fine on my 12d download. He's shy at first but is in the cave, slowly enters stage right.

He's supposed to be in the cave is he not ? do you ave him in the fish settings Surferminn ?

dom5885 · 06-02-2011, 01:10 PM

I see Harvey too

Thank you.

Jim Sachs · 06-02-2011, 01:13 PM

Harvey is not always visible - that's why he's called Harvey.

No, he is not in the fish setting. He is considered part of the environment like the corals that move.

craig130170 · 06-02-2011, 01:29 PM

Iv been staring at the screen for a half hour and and still no sign of him, do you think a clean install would help ? everything else seems to functioning normal.

Surferminn · 06-02-2011, 01:37 PM

Good Idea. The zip file folder and the extracted file folder is entitled "MA3Beta12d". But the actual file name inside the folder is "MarineAquarium3.scr" So make sure you have put away the older versions and not using an older one.

patscarr · 06-02-2011, 01:38 PM

You have to put this new file in place of the old one to use as a screen saver, otherwise you can put this new file on your desktop and just run it from there to see Harvey.

Jim Sachs · 06-02-2011, 01:40 PM

Make sure you're using the new version, and not your old version. While it's running, hit the "s" key, and look at the text. It should say Beta 12d. There's no installer with this version, just unzip it, put it wherever you want, and click on it.

Surferminn · 06-02-2011, 01:43 PM

And if you go to the fish settings, it should say this version.

Edit -- Jim's suggestion is the easiest and best way to check.

craig130170 · 06-02-2011, 02:01 PM

Yeh iv got him working now, thanks to all for your suggestions.
I was still using the old version thinking that it had automatically overwriten the old desktop app

jimkraz · 06-02-2011, 02:51 PM

Thank you for Harvey, the closest I have come to anything like this, I was 14, I caught a 5ft Conger Eel in Troon harbour, 50 years ago, took two ours of playing with him before I could land him, nearly took my finger off trying to get my hook out his very large mouth, see when you get old you cant remember what you did yesterday but the vision of that eel landing is very clear.

Jim,

The eel looks fantastic! Thanks for such a great addition to your already remarkable work of art. Every time you add something like this I experience the aquarium's full blown beauty like it was the first time I'd seen it.

Surferminn · 06-03-2011, 12:08 AM

Will be getting off work in half an hour, where the heck are Loub516 and Hememly and Derrek and RacerX and the rest of the folks? A fine time to decide to be patient... Well, lucky them when they do decide to check in again.

phil · 06-03-2011, 03:35 AM

i want to say thank you for your new eel, well worth the wait, love to know what you are working on next, fantastic JIM!!

Jim Sachs · 06-03-2011, 03:48 AM

Next is the Freshwater Tank.

loub516 · 06-03-2011, 04:22 AM

Sorry I thought tomorrow would be this weekend.

Looks great!! No problems here, ran it for a couple of hours last night before going to bed and everything worked great.
