First and foremost, the Lionfish is amazing. Jim has outdone himself yet again!


Now for the question. I'm not a "frame-rate freak" but I noticed my framerates have gone up with the new version and I'm not sure why.

I usually get around 40-50FPS, now it's at 70-80FPS.

Has anyone else noticed this?
?

Tim,
Others have also suggested that the lights in the tank cycle with the time of day. Most thought that that would be far too slow. Plus, you have the problems of days getting longer and shorter and those living near the polar caps would have extended periods of light or dark.

Edit: Somehow our posts ended up on separate threads. Hope you get over to this one to see it.

Just installed mine. The link from http://www.serenescreen.com/download/upgrade.asp worked just fine as did the request for my serial number. The quick launch buttons still do not work if one has AutoCad installed Other than that the installation went as it should.
Nice job Jim

Problem when ordering

I attempted to purchase the full 1.1 version. After entering all the credit card info - clicked submit and received:

The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

</copy>

I did receive an email from serene.sales@prolific.com as follows:

<copy>

This transaction will appear as "PROLIFIC PUBLISHING, INC." on your credit card billing statement.

I changed the program so that Autocad users can rename the Desktop copy of the Aquarium to Aquarium.exe, and just click it anytime they want to run the program. If you also want to use it as a screensaver, keep a copy with the original Aquarium.scr name in the System folder.

Sunking - After a year and a half of the introductory price, you just missed it by a few minutes!

Regarding the credit card problems, that is a matter for service@serenescreen.com. This is just a user forum, and no one here has any knowledge of Prolific's banking software.

dwax - That is why we put in the feature for those who recieved early Key Codes. Just go to the site, enter your name and Key Code, and you will be given a new-style one, which won't need to change again.

With each new version, I try to streamline the code a little more. On some cards framerate increases, on some it decreases. Life is like a box of chocolates -- You never know what you're going to get.

Wow. Version 1.1 sure looks good on the internet.

Too bad that as a beta purchaser (8/27/00!), I’m not in the system for an updated key code. I even tried the link for beta users, and it returned “The name that you gave submitted does not match your Key Code.” Yikes!

I’m looking at the printout from the day I signed up, and everything matches. I guess I’ll just have to wait a few days to see if prolific responds to my email.

ps The Lionfish does look cool in the photos!

Big Grin Can't enter my passcode

Can't seem to get registered. Got my new passcode via email just minutes ago. If I key it in and press Enter or click the OK button, the screen blanks and I never get any indication that the code was taken. Once I miskeyed the code and I got a error saying the code was wrong. But I can't get registered, any ideas.

Of course not. Just go to the site, click on the link for current users who have not recieved their Key Code by email, enter the name you used when you purchased and your old Key Code. Your new Key Code will instantly be emailed to you.
