With Nightfall only days away I thought I'd go way back to where it all began, with GW Prophecies. Those who remember the original login screen will know it wasn't a rotating view like Factions and Nightfall. However, I've wanted to add one to the collection which was based in Tyria/Prophecies and this is the result.

It's from just outside Ashford Abbey, taking in a nice view of the waterfalls, the town and the Abbey. Should bring back some memories for the grizzly old veterans who've long since been lost in dark forests and frozen seas; and a glimpse of Ascalon's very pretty past for the Canthans (and shortly Elonians) who've never been. Enjoy!

Instructions are pretty much the same as the previous two:

----------------------


A Guild Wars Prophecies Intro Screensaver by Xenrath for your desktop.
The full rotation takes about 10 minutes, I couldn't get a perfect seam at the loop due to the animation but it's barely noticeable. The video was recorded at full detail, with 4x Anti Aliasing. You might need a reasonably fast machine to enjoy at its best, not too sure. For reference, my computer at the time of this post has Windows XP, Pentium 4 3ghz, 1Gb memory, ATI Radeon X800.

DOWNLOAD: Guild Wars Prophecies Panorama Screensaver, High Quality. 62.6mb, self installer (Xvid codec required)
- Download from Guild Wars Guru
- Download from FileFront


  • If you get a black screen, you probably need the Xvid codec. Get it from here http://www.koepi.org/xvid.shtml The "latest stable binary" near the top.
  • Run the Screensaver installer, this should bring up the Display Properties after installing (if it doesn't just bring it up yourself.)
  • Select "GW Prophecies Panorama" screensaver, and adjust the settings to suit. From here you can add your own music playlist, change the size of the video etc.
  • That's it! Preview it, or let it fire up like a normal screensaver.
  • To uninstall, you can remove it from Add/Remove programs or the Start menu under Programs.


----------------------

For those who liked the intro music, here it is. 9.55mb, 10.25 minutes - not the highest quality settings so it shouldn't interfere with any music CD plans Anet/NCsoft might have.

DOWNLOAD: Prophecies Intro Music mp3
- Download from Guild Wars Guru
- Download from FileFront

You can then add this to the screensaver music playlist (or add any of your own tunes)

This is great! Could you post a link to your previous 2? I'm new to these forums and would like to check them out as well.

Nice Job!

EDIT: Nevermind. Clicking on your name on FileFront brings up a list of all your uploaded files, including your previous screen savers.
