Organic Art Screensaver Tetris Scenes Pack ========================================== Overview -------- The files in this pack are several new "scenes" for use with Computer Artworks' "Organic Art Deluxe" screensaver version 1.40.16, or the "Organic Art" screensaver that shipped with Microsoft Plus! 98. The new scenes are all Tetris themed, with background and texture graphics based on Arika's "Tetris: The Grand Master" coin-op arcade game, and one of the wallpaper images that is included with Windows XP. The scenes also include new "informs" that were created from scratch (informs are the 3D meshes and models that the Organic Art screensaver uses for it's scenes), and consist of the various Tetris tetrominoes floating and rotating around your screen. Organic Art Deluxe Installation ------------------------------- Unzip Organic_Art_Screensaver_Tetris_Scenes_Pack.zip to the directory where Organic Art Deluxe is installed on your hard drive (usually "C:\Program Files\Computer Artworks\Organic Art Deluxe"), maintaining the directory structure contained in the archive (i.e. if using WinZip, check the "Use folder names" checkbox). This will extract several files to the following subdirectories within your main Organic Art Deluxe installation directory: "C:\Program Files\Computer Artworks\Organic Art Deluxe\Backdrop" "C:\Program Files\Computer Artworks\Organic Art Deluxe\Informs" "C:\Program Files\Computer Artworks\Organic Art Deluxe\Scenes" "C:\Program Files\Computer Artworks\Organic Art Deluxe\Textures" Organic Art Microsoft Plus! 98 Installation ------------------------------------------- Unzip Organic_Art_Screensaver_Tetris_Scenes_Pack.zip to the directory where the Microsoft Plus! 98 Organic Art screensaver is installed on your hard drive (usually "C:\Program Files\Plus!\OAPlus"). In this case, do *NOT* maintain the directory structure contained in the archive (i.e. if using WinZip, *UNCHECK* the "Use folder names" checkbox). This will extract several files to your main Organic Art installation directory, and note that *ALL* of the files contained in the archive must reside within this same directory on your hard drive when using the pack with the Microsoft Plus! 98 version of the Organic Art screensaver: "C:\Program Files\Plus!\OAPlus" Usage ----- Simply run the "Organic Art Deluxe" or the "Organic Art (Plus! 98)" screensavers in the usual way. If you wish to preview the various individual scenes contained in the pack (or remove any or all of them from your current Organic Art scenes playlist), navigate to the "Screensaver" tab of the Windows "Display Properties" control panel applet, click on "Settings", and then click on the "Playlist" tab within the "Organic Properties" window. Scroll through the "Playlist" window, and then select your choice of one of the following entries to preview the new scene: Rich Nagel/Tetris/Tetris 1 Rich Nagel/Tetris/Tetris 2 Rich Nagel/Tetris/Tetris 3D 1 Rich Nagel/Tetris/Tetris 3D 2 Rich Nagel/Tetris/Tetris The Grand Master I Rich Nagel/Tetris/Tetris The Grand Master J Rich Nagel/Tetris/Tetris The Grand Master L Rich Nagel/Tetris/Tetris The Grand Master O Rich Nagel/Tetris/Tetris The Grand Master S Rich Nagel/Tetris/Tetris The Grand Master T Rich Nagel/Tetris/Tetris The Grand Master Z Note that the quality of the graphics used for the new scenes for the Microsoft Plus! 98 version of the Organic Art screensaver is not quite as good as the quality of the graphics used for the Organic Art Deluxe screensaver. This is due to the fact that the Microsoft Plus! 98 version of the Organic Art screensaver is unable to use high-color graphics for it's rendered scenes, but the overall effect of the scenes is still quite visually pleasing.
