* ARCHIVE CONTENTS

  Voyager.zip
    - Voyager.scr
    - readme.txt


* INSTALLATION

  To install, simply copy the "Voyager.scr" file to the windows 
  folder (normaly C:\WINDOWS). Then go the Display options in 
  Control Panel and in the Screen Saver section select Voyager!
  Then sit back and prepare for warp speed, Mr Paris!

  To remove simply delete the "Voyager.scr" file from the windows
  folder, but why you want to do this is beyond my comprehension.


* SETTINGS:

  To get to the settings screen go to Display options in Control Panel and
  in the Screen Saver section click on Settings.

  No. of Background Stars: Sets how many background stars there are.
  No. of warp lines: Sets how many warp lines/space particles there are.
  Set these to low to speed it up a little.

  Camera pause and warp pause set the average wait between the change in
  camera angles and the wait for Voyager to go to warp.

  Texture Detail set the level of detail in the textures. High looks
  better but it slower, Low looks chunky but is faster, none means Voyager
  will have no textures.


* v1.701 RELEASE NOTES:

  Well 1 week ago today I had my wisdom teeth out. This resulted is much
  pain and swelling, and a week off work. So once I was feeling up to it
  I decided to waste some time updating the Voyager screen saver.

  See below for a full list of new features/fixes. The main add on is
  random encounters with the BORG! When Voyager warps into a new system
  there's a chance the Borg will be lurking and attack!

  Voyager will ofcourse try and fight back, but comeon people its the Borg
  we're talking about here, so there's not much hope.

  Voyager has a limit to the amount of shield power it has. Once its
  depleted it will start taking damage. Shields will recharge in time tho
  so don't panic. (See the shield meter in the top left of the screen).

  Another major update is that I've fixed the problem that stopped the
  screen saver from running properly on Voodoo cards. (I hope!)
  (I don't have a voodoo card so if you do, and it works, let me know!)

  It was all done pretty quickly so there's probably heaps of bugs. If you
  spot one, let me know!

  Wasted hours and hours doing this boys and girls so I hope you like it.
  If you do/don't email me and let me know! Otherwise I won't know to keep
  wasting time working on it!

  Enjoy.


* v0.74656 RELEASE NOTES:

  Back in 1995 (Has is been that long?!) I was doing alot of fiddling with
  good old DOS Pascal programming and at the time I was really looking
  forward to the new Star Trek series, Star Trek: Voyager. (I think it was
  already out in the US but here in Oz we got it like a year later).

  Anyway to pass the time I made a 3D model of the ship from a picture I 
  got off the web and plotted it out in 3D space in dots.

  Sounds impressive doesnt it? Well it was! (Hey I was impressed at the
  time).

  So recently I got sick of working on the next version of the 
  Eric Cartman 3D Extravaganza! and decided to do some fiddling with
  something different. I'd had afew requests to do a Star Trek screen 
  saver so when I came across the old dotty Voyager I decided to make
  something out of it.

  And this is it. I guess I'd have to class this as an unfinished version
  as the model of the ship really should have alot more detail but for now
  I was more interested in some of the other stuff involved. And there's
  alot of stuff I wanted to do with it that I haven't gotten around to yet.

  It requires Microsoft's version of OpenGL which comes with most versions
  of Windows these days. If you get errors about DLLs missing (usually if
  you've got the original version of Win95) You can download it from:

  ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/opengl95.exe

  As with all my stuff if you like it/hate it/use it and want me to keep
  going with it let me know!

  Enjoy!
