LOL, funny title.

How are you doing your cutscenes? A movie file?

Anyway, I''ve written several screen savers, I can help you out. Email me at brian@tegarttech.com and we can talk, if you''re interested.

No - its not a movie file - it just hardcoded directx animated stuff in a delphi application.

This thread looks screwed up to me.

Anyway, I''m not a delphi guy (I use C/C++) but maybe I can still help you.

The basics of a screen saver are these:
- accept command line arguments:
-- /c or nothing means start in configure mode (launch the configuration dialog box)
-- /s means start in normal full-screen mode
-- /p means start in preview mode for the Desktop Settings dialog preview window
- normally, if the saver was started with /s, you exit on any keyboard or mouse events.

There''s more details than that, but that''s the bare minimum you need to implement to create a screen saver. Send me an email if you have any questions.

Yeah, I saw that. I tried it out, it didn''t work one one of my machines, and on the other it was clear he wasn''t using the command line switches because preview and config mode both tried to start the saver in normal mode. I''m just trying to help him out.

one trick to make ss is make an exe file which closes on moving mouse or hitting a key(behaving like screensaver). Then use a free/shareware 3rd party screen saver maker app. Make a screensaver in it which calls you exe.

Yes - I appreciate that info on the command line parameters - I will probably implement that on my next version.

Thanks
