- The patch only alters files in: blender/source/gameengine/GamePlayer/ghost - Any blenderplayer.exe (with the patch applied) can be renamed into something.scr, and it will behave as a Windows screen saver. (Right-click the .scr file, and select "Install". Then, it will appear in the screen saver properties dialog part of the display settings, including small preview et al). - The screen saving functionality does not affect the executable when it is NOT named .scr - The screen saver automatically exits when the mouse/keyboard is moved/pressed. There is no more need to wrap blenderplayer.exe into a bat file and use python quit controllers, or whatever else is suggested at http://download.blender.org/documentation/oldsite/oldsite.blender3d.org/181_Blender%20news%20haloParty.html - It has been currently been tested to work Windows XP
Welcome to the fun world of open source. For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named INSTALL. ---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory--------------------- The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender. In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font. Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations: - the current directory - your home directory - On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked - On Windows, the installation dir is checked. If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended). -------------------------------------Links-------------------------------------- Getting Involved: http://www.blender.org/docs/get_involved.html Community: http://www.blender3d.org/Community/ Main blender development site: http://www.blender.org/ The Blender project homepage: http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-blender/ Documentation: http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=documentation&file=index Bug tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=125&group_id=9&func=browse Feature request tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=128&group_id=9&func=browse
