made to look and act like the top of the empyrean age homepage?
I mean seriously I'd pay both RL and/or Ingame money to have that as my screen saver especially if you bump the ship size up and convert it to Caldari/Gallente or give me the option to mix and match...
Also if this is the wrong forum, sorry but dang... I wants it....

Not that I particularly enjoy sitting and watching screensavers, but I have to lock my workstation at work frequently, and so get to see the screensaver alot. Might as well have a cool one.

I have to agree, I want an Eve-Online Screen Saver.
I have the Eve Trinity Amarr Background.
Please CCP, if you can have someone work on some really cool screen savers that would be awesome.
Thank You! ________________________

View the page source to get the SWF filename. Then just google up "SWF to Screensaver" and pick a program. Most are trialware/nagware, and of course any apps you download are done so at your own risk.

Although this will work, the OP wanted customizations to the screensaver(like different factions) Now that would be cool to see my Minmatar ships blowing up the cruddy Amarr.

Unfortunately, most of the files are buried behind javascript.
I've been using the Download Helper, UnPlug and AdBlock Plus extensions in Firefox to try and pull down the .FLV and .SWF files, but the best I can get is a bunch of separate files. For example: The background rotation animation of the planet. (Yes, the "brown" part of the background planet is a static image with a partial transparency. Then using a black background with some "shiny bits" in a rotating pattern it simulates a rotating planet)
Basically, there just under 20 banner-specific files that I can pull using the tools I have right now.
FLV Files:
- empyreanAge_logoAnimation.flv <-- zoom in logo animation - logo_EVE.flv <-- Eve logo animation - planet_rotation.flv <-- The animation I described previously - teaser.flv <--The teaser video
.SWF Files:
- 14dayFreeTrial.swf <-- Button animation - main.swf <-- The translucent overlay for the planet_rotation.flv file. This also includes the nebula space background on either side of the planet. - teaser.swf <-- static image for the teaser video player. - shipsAmarr1-5 <--Ship animations - shipsMinmatar1-5 <--Ship animations
Interestingly, while I can pull the Teaser static image as soon as the page loads, the actual FLV video image isn't available to download until AFTER I click on the status image. I'm sure there's a logical explanation for that though.
What I found, using AdBlock Plus, is that the battle animation is actually MULTIPLE .swf files. (10, to be exact) For example: shipsAmarr1.swf, shipsAmarr2.swf, shipsMinmatar1.swf, Etc.
So there are multiple layers of ships all being used. I suspect that this is to provide the "randomness" of the banner page. Unfortunately, that means there isn't a single .FLV that can be easily converted into a screen saver. Basically this is about 17 elements all stacked on top of one another to make the complete banner animation
Bad for those who want to make it into a screen saver, but VERY impressive work by the CCP web guys. Kudos to you!
P.S. For the CCP web guys. I did find a small error in the site. In the list of .swf files, you have a near duplicate. shipsMinmatar.swf, and shipsMinmatar.wf. Just thought I'd let you know.

So.
The question remains: Is there anyone in the community that will step up and create a kick-butt screensaver from the flv and swf files?
Even better, will CCP be creating a screensaver using the banner as a model?

I actually made a thread earlier requesting an eve screensaver based on this fight.
I know it can be done because I remember long ago, someone made a Freespace 2 screensaver that was basically a 24/7 battle between the shivans and the gtva (bad guys vs good guys). Ships of all sizes constantly spawned and spewed beam lasers, missiles, and other such juicy things at each other.
You could even make the star go supernova, which would kill everything on the screen (and turned the planets into rubble as well). This screensaver ran on computers that were state of the art back in 1998, so I think an EVE screensaver is possible.
If I had an Alt I would probably post with it... |
