Description: An under water screen saver for KDE4 Thanks to John Stamp for your help.
todo: sea creature swimming pattern camera movement (swimming through seen)
How to Install: 1 install package build-essential cmake kdebase-workspace-dev libqt4-opengl-dev or your distros equivalent 2 download. 3 extract (tar -xzf "the file you downloaded") 4 change to the new directory (KOceanSaver) 5 cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr CMakeLists.txt 6 sudo make install
And a big thanks to the guys and gals at mepis-deb.org for making the debian packages for all of us who use a debian distro.
If your distro is not (k)ubuntu then you may or may not need the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr. a simple 1 cmake CMakeLists.txt 2 sudo make install will work for you.Last changelog:
0.1, 0.2, 0.3 1 Faster skeleton animation function for fish. (this dropped CPU usage by half or more on my computer even with wave added. Matrix is only calculated once for each bone instead of once for each vertex) 2 Added ocean surface with waves. (Please let me know what you think) 3 Moved things around to make it more aesthetic
Please give feedback so I know if I'm going in the right direction
0.4 1. Changed time basted movement (much faster now) 2. Adding Setting Dialog. 3. Adding new fish
0.5 1 Changed form qmake to cmake.
0.6 1 Added rocking motion.
0.7 1. Bug fixes and performance improvements. 2. Added Orca. 3. Added new function for attached fish (remora).
Currently in the testing repo here:
http://main.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/testrepo/pool/test/k/koceansaver/
Built on KDE version:
mcr85: 4.3.4
mcr110: 4.5.3
mcr120: 4.8.4 (Debian wheezy's version)
when I run 'cmake CMakeLists.txt' I get the following error:

At the conclusion of final compilation, you suggested to run kbuildsycoca4
here are the final Terminal lines:
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/share/kde4/services/ScreenSavers/koceansaver.desktop
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/share/man/man1/koceansaver.kss.1
bumpy@bumpyputer:~/Downloads/KOceanSaver$ kbuildsycoca4
kbuildsycoca4 running...
nothing happens after that, & koceansaver.desktop is not listed in the OpenGL screensavers.
How can I fix that?
bumpysax@gmail.com
I got that solved, but since then have updated to kubuntu 12.10 & your wonderful screensaver is working fine.. except for one thing: what do I have to change to keep KOceanSaver running for a specified time length?
Also would like to know the file settings location.
Like every other fan, any hopes of more fish etc?
Big Thanks again for your magnificent screensaver!!
I get this error on cmake:
Am I missing a certain depency?
Thanks!

Or maybe you could add the option to use an own background picture that is slightly (according to the settings on the graphic tab) covered by the waves and "fog" and color. I'd love to have a background that is not so monochrome: e.g. beige sandy gravel at the bottom, something more dark in the background, some green water plants, some more rock formations or corals.
And maybe some additional small fishes with a little more color ;).
Hi
this is a GREAT screensaver. I installed it on Kubuntu Oneric.
I noticed a "to do" about "swimming through the scene".
I don't know how hard that would be to do, but an idea I had that "might" be easier would be to have an option to where it is like one is swimming and just "hanging" in the water and kind of "moving up and down a little" with the underwater wave action. Don't know, just a though, but it is a great screensaver.

Well it is done. I fell bad because I did this so quick and someone else has ask for a remora attached to the shark. I have had no success. But your idea looks good. Thanks

Would it be possible to convert this wonderful screensaver to an xscreensaver module (as Plasma 5 doen't support/provide kscreensavers anymore)?
http://main.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/testrepo/pool/test/k/koceansaver/
Compiled without fault in opensuse 13.1
Have also compiled on Solydk without problems.
Compiled and running perfectly on kubuntu13.10 64bit Thanks for the update. Like the new fish looks great. Keep up the good work.

did you install cmake?
did you install build-essential kdebase-workspace-dev libqt4-opengl-dev cmake?
I love this screensaver! Please, can you also make an aquarium screensaver or add an aquarium mode?
Or maybe you could add the option to use an own background picture that is slightly (according to the settings on the graphic tab) covered by the waves and "fog" and color. I'd love to have a background that is not so monochrome: e.g. beige sandy gravel at the bottom, something more dark in the background, some green water plants, some more rock formations or corals. And maybe some additional small fishes with a little more color ;).
I would love to. but I don't have the time. I was going to work on a better background but I think camera movement is what I'm going to do next.
PERFECT!!!
well not yet. but hopefully. Thanks.
Great screensaver, well done. I like to activate it just to watch :)
It means a lot, thanks.

Thanks for the positive feed back. I could add that in no time. All see what i can do.
Well it is done. I fell bad because I did this so quick and someone else has ask for a remora attached to the shark. I have had no success. But your idea looks good. Thanks
Thank you.
You are welcome, I'm glad you like it.
