Scary!

Yes, yes, yes ... believe it or not, this was one of our favorite features!

Dummkopf · 11-13-2009, 12:55 PM

I don't even see the starfish. Where is it hidden?

Jim Sachs · 11-14-2009, 11:11 AM

It's in the flat area at the left of the tank. (Assuming it's not de-selected in Fish Settings.)

Dummkopf · 11-14-2009, 01:23 PM

Sorry but it's just not there! And it's not de-selected in Fish Settings. What could be going on? Is there another setting that I missed?

Is it possible that you have the Auto Pan option disabled?

Try pressing the Left Arrow key on your keyboard.

What version are you running, and is it the "free trial" or did you put in your serial number?

[Just speculating that it might be an issue related to version or something...]

try going into wireframe mode - "W" and checking. It's sometimes easier to spot in that mode!

Jim Sachs · 11-19-2009, 06:14 PM

Could you post a screenshot of the left side of your tank?

streetwolf · 11-19-2009, 08:32 PM

Looks like the last starfish has to go potty and is holding it in

Dummkopf · 11-20-2009, 11:42 AM

Looks like you have to have the Auto Pan option enabled. Then you'll see the starfish once about every minute.

cjmaddy · 11-20-2009, 11:57 AM

If you don't have the Auto Pan option enabled, you might only see about 1/3 of the aquarium!

In other words, your problem is fixed?

Well, yes and no.

Yes: when Auto Pan is enabled I'll see the Starfish.

No: I'll only see it once every minute or so.

No: When Auto Pan is not enabled, I'll never see the Starfish.

cjmaddy · 11-20-2009, 01:09 PM

You could use the arrow keys to position the view to include the Starfish. - Or you could wait for the Starfish to come into view, (once it start moving again)...... I think there is a saying that goes... You can't have your cake and eat it. ...

I thought the expression was Out of sight, out of mind.

Just out of curiosity, what things would you like to see, all the time, when Auto Pan is not enabled?

[The design was for a wide tank, with panning. The ability to turn off panning was put in (as I recall) because some people wanted to be able to turn it off. ]

How about the Starfish!
