I second that....

Also, how are you all coping with these severe storms we keep hearing about? - I hope you are all managing to avoid the tornadoes. Some areas they show on the news look horrendous! - I hope you can all keep safe.

Today here is set to be crazy. We are being told to look for storms all day, getting progressively worse as the day goes on. By this evening it is supposed to be 50+ mph gust winds, large hail, and chances of tornadoes.

Yikes! Everyone take care!

We are under a tornado watch until 10pm.

In answer to your query Cliff, here is what is going on lately..............

It's unbelievable isn't it.... I'm speechless!!....

Our area got nailed this morning. A lot of people lost power and up rooted trees. A lot of homes lost there roofs and more. One of my best friends has a farm and I just found out that they lost the big bard, a metal shed, and half the house. Thank God they were not hurt.

Has harvie been abandoned?

Harvey has been in testing for about a week. Should be ready for the general Forum by tomorrow.

Good to hear, thanks Jim

Is it tomorrow yet? :)

That depends on the time zone...
 

:)
Cannot wait until Harvey comes!

The movement of the head is still a bit too jerky. I'm working on smoothing it out.

Later: Still having a hard time smoothing the head-turn animation. I'll take another run at it tonight.

Thanks, Jim.

I just uploaded a new version to the testers. If no major problems are found, I'll bring it into the public Forum and let you guys kick it around. Still not entirely happy with the animation, but maybe I'm looking too closely.

New Eel
 

Jim,

That's fantastic news. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that I can hardly wait. I've been loading up the forum every few hours for the past couple of days each time hoping to see a new file to install. It's difficult to be patient! But I love the amount of attention you pay to your work of art, so take whatever amount of time you need. (That was hard to say though.)

The testers found some problems, so it will be another day or two.

I too must be patient, as it's hard being a perfectionist, as I am also.

Go get it, kids!

Good to hear, thanks Jim.
Just a small problem ! installed the new zip link you supplied but there is no harvey :confused:

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

I see Harvey too :)

Thank you.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :o

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

Thank You
 

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.

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. :rolleyes:

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!!

Next is the Freshwater Tank.

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.

What great news!!!

wow work wonder:TU:

Yes it is.
