I have uploaded the file "QuakeScreenSaver.zip" to the incoming directory of

stomped (ftp.stomped.com) if you want me to upload it anywhere else, put it

in this thread and I'll upload it there. Basically it uses OPENGL Dll's

(Included) and the fonts released by ID and the 3D Text ScreenSaver from

Microsoft. Here is a copy of the Text file:

-----------------------

Quake Screen Saver For Windows 95

UnZip into a temporary Directory...

Move the Quake___.ttf into the WINDOWS/FONTS directory

Move the Remaining Files to the WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory

(sstext3d.scr, opengl32.dll, glu32.dll)

That's it!! Your are all installed... Here's How to setup

Windows 95 to use the Screen Saver:

1) Right Click on an empty portion of the Screen

Select Properties

2) Click on the ScreenSaver Tab

3) Select the Text3D ScreenSaver

4) On the ScreenSaver Window, Click on the Settings Button

5) Click on the Choose Font button

6) Scroll down the list and Choose the QUAKE as the font

7) Click OK

8) Type whatever you want in the TEXT Box (I Suggest "QUAKE RULES Q")

9) The Q's are the Quake Symbol..

10) Click on OK once you have set you preferences, then click on preview

to see what it looks like....ENJOY!!

Disclamer: You use this at your own risk! The DLL's and SCR are from the

Microsoft Developers CD/OPENGL Development KIT, They are not

warrented from locking up your system or screwing up the

harddrive in anyway. I personally have not had any problems

with this other then occasionally not working if you turn the

screensaver on and off alot. The TrueType Font is from the ID

software FTP site in the IDSTUFF/IMAGERY Directory.....I did not

Program any of this other then put them together to make a

really COOL ScreenSaver that Goes Well with with the QUAKE THEME

that Chris DiNardo made....Please do not E-Mail me with Gripes,

Bitches, or Complaints. If you like it GREAT!! if not...DELETE

IT!!!!

Quake has changed the Doom phrase of

"If it moves Shoot it. If it doesn't move, Shoot it until it does"

To:

"This phrase will be released in 'Two Weeks'"
