1st Ranger Battalion Screensaver - now with 2 versions

Post by DangerClose »

Hello all, just thought I would drop a line and let you know that I've finished the first in a series of screensavers for your PCs - this one is the 1st Ranger Battalion version (yeah, I'll get to the others later) - there's not much to it, but it's something maybe a little different than the regular screensavers that come with windows. It's a 1st Battalion scroll (with tab) that floats around your screen randomly, scaring away hippies and other non-desirable personnel. This is guaranteed virus/malware/all that stupid shit free, because I made it.

Let me know if you have any issues but I've tried it on (3) different versions of Windows with no issues.

Info is here:http://www.airborneranger.com/?p=130
Direct DL is here: http://www.airborneranger.com/wp-conten ... tbatss.zip

UPDATE
By request, here's the original 'Old Scroll' version from 1/75th - runs the same as the first version but just different graphic...

Info is here: http://www.airborneranger.com/?p=139
Direct DL is here: http://www.airborneranger.com/wp-conten ... st-old.zip

Feedback is appreciated, but not necessarily required.

I was actually going to post a preview, but there's really not much to it - it's just the scroll/tab floating randomly (with a script) around a black background - since screensavers are more novelty than anything else, it's more useful as a scare tactic if you have it on a public machine so that people will keep the fuck off... haha.

It's a one-click install/uninstall so if you don't like it, it pops right off.

Very nice work. I would love to use one but during my time very few were able to serve in Ranger Battalion. Any chance you could do one for those of us who are members of the USARA?

If you know someone that can get me some high res artwork from the logo, I'll make it no problem - I can try contacting them myself as well to see what surfaces... just PM me if you have something.
