Hi all.

First post on the forums, having lurked (and laughed) for quite some time, just wanted to say "hi".

Love MA v2. Job well done. A few comments-come-questions;

1) Why "Fish8" in the registry? Tease! (..and indeed, 373 "TESTFISH"

)

2) Why does v1.1 sound so different to v2? (Having hex compared both versions wav files (identical of course) this is a little confusing.) AC97 codec (on board, EpOX 8KHA+ mobo). Yeah, Baek==Cheap&&Poor SOAB.

3) There isn't an program I own (code many of my own doncha know) that I do not "gut", and inspect it's innards therein, MA is no exception. What is the "official" take on MA modifications? I've seen some of the ghastly inept efforts doing the rounds, however, if an acceptable mod were to raise it's ugly head (hum) perhaps as an (IPS) patch, would the developers turn a funny colour, or a blind-eye? (..an example of my personnel (somewhat subtle) modifications below.

4) Is it just me, or do the fish seem a little too eager to show off their new abilities (particularly their eagerness to swim "through" (rather than around) the bubbles (a nice effect
all the same.)) && I'm certain Mr. Sachs new Angel (quite brilliant) dislikes my poor ol' clown!

5) There IS No Five.

Attached; I've compressed the image a little (keep file size down) This is an edit I started on receiving v2, the starfish isn't done (I'm going for "fromia elegans" (red starfish)) Also removed the logo (no disrespect to Mr. Sachs, this is a personnel edit, realism of utmost importance.) && applied various "filters" to the DDS's (textures) Mainly, brought the contrast/colour levels up a tad, as well as giving them a more "wet" look (doesn't come across too well in that pic.)

Hey Ho. Like I said, "Hi".
