Make Your Own CavernCam!

I've just made available a "CavernCam" system that anyone can set up - without buying any special hardware. To see it, visit this link:

If you want to set one up yourself, please do! The instructions are on the website. I'm hoping that we get enough people with these set up so that, when the next episode rolls out, no one will miss out on the action. I am also maintaining a list of people that have set this up, so that you can visit the various sites and see who is online.

Apparently, my computer does not like CavernCams, as it shuts down internet everytime I click the link

Very nice set up. However, I reckon it is far too complicated for the average PC user. What most folks prefer, I think, is a program ready-assembled to download and use more or less straightaway. Maybe one of our forum members could come up with something like that. It would need to have Cyan's permission of course, because you would be using their content.

Hi there,

there's a more comfortable way to get automated screenshots.
Just download this neat little program from , install it,
start it, adjust it to your needs and you're done.
It even provides a gallery generator...
(works great in MOUL btw :wink:

)

Have fun

Jana

Unfortunately, BMP is not supported by the applet - so using the free version of FRAPS is not an option. However, I just added instructions on how to use smartision ScreenCopy, which is an open-source screen capture utility:

[thanks to janabe for the suggestion!]

By the way, your CavernCamUploader.zip file is corrupted... neither Windows compressed files nor 7-zip will open it.

Herohtar: I've uploaded a new zip file. I think I inadvertantly uploaded it with ASCII mode instead of BIN mode. If you are downloading it and still getting a problem, try clearing your browser's file cache.
