Screenshot Competition!!!
« on: April 18, 2005, 01:32:59 pm »
Welcome to the Planeshift Screenshot Competition!     18/04/2005

This is a Competition for all around to see who can take the finest screenshots in planeshift which will be used for the purpose of new loading screens in Planeshift. The BEST screenshots will be used as loading screens in Planeshift,
*one screenshot selected for each area of the game (excluding the forest/road to Ojaveda)*



*Here is an example of an acceptable screenshot:

*This is an example of what that screenshot will turn out like as a loading screen:
http://free.angeltowns.com/methos/Pics/loading_sewers.jpg*


RULES & REQUIREMENTS:

1. The screenshots must have NO forground menu\'s visible, if there is a small amount of forground (likely the topmost button menu) on the screen you must move the menu bar up enough so that it can be hidden behind the later added images.

2. I will be adding all the extra graphics myself so please only send plain screenshots. Non-plain images will NOT be accepted sorry.

3. Please link all your images to another website like \"imageshack.us\" or \"free.angeltowns.com\"
*DO NOT POST YOUR SCREENSHOTS DIRECTLY ONTO THE FORUM.*

4. All screenshots are to be taken in no less than 800x600 resolution.

5. We are in need for screenshots for all areas of the game except the forest/road to Ojaveda. These areas include:
Ojavada
Death Realm
Sewers
Dungeon
Hyddla Plaza
The Arena
-Any others I may have missed

*Only ONE screenshot for each area will be chosen, however you may send in as many screenshots as you like*

6. Please save the files in .BMP format... (I do understand that most servers wont let you upload large files so if you cannot upload your original .BMP then please save a second copy of your screenshot in .JPG format and upload that.
*.BMP files are a higher quality than .JPG files so please keep your original so it can be used if your image is chosen*

7. The competition will end on the 7th of May 7/5/2005.


1st prize for each of the BEST screenshots will be the grand satisfaction that your screenshot will be used as a loading screen on the area you have captured.


Disclaimer: I reserve the right not to use any particular screenshot, should no suitable screenshot for a particular area be entered in the competition. All screenshots are subject to the scrutiny of the higher powers in Planeshift AKA - The Devs. Also it is entirely possible that no screenshots will be selected at all in the event of (but not limited to): The Devs deciding not to use these new loading screens, My death, Natural disasters, etc etc.

Methos/Sarrow: I think the minimum should be raised to 1024.  800 is way too small to look good for those of us that play at 1280 and 1600.

Also, I\'m wondering as to the reading skills of you two.

Greetings,

I don\'t know how the loading screens are going to be added to the game, if this isn\'t an official thing... but then again, I don\'t know much. Sounds good though, so here\'s my humble contribution:

Hydlaa Plaza

the Arena

Sewers

(1024*768 png source files available on request)

Hmm, the loading screen picture is 1024*1024 pixels, but the gfx area is only 800*600 px by default. It could be enlargened from loadwindow.xml and releaselist.xml. However, I think that there is a reason why it is so small in the first place: takes less memory and loads faster. That\'s also the only reason that I can think of to the fact that the original loading.png is 256 colours. Just my speculation though. :)


To Kiva: Nice hat ma\'am. You know, in Finnish, \'kiva\' means \'nice\'. :)

To Methos: Thanks, though if we\'re accurate, You were the first one to link pictures. ;)

The loading screens are all 800x600, so no point taking higher resolution ones.

Thanks everyone who has entered so far :) But an extra thanks goes out to Cherppow for being the first to actually LINK their photo\'s and not post them directly onto the forum.

*Dont forget when taking screenies that the most visible area thats going to be visible when they are made into loading screens, will be the right hand side of the picture.... anything on the left will be either covered over or very hard to see ;)*

Yes Platyna, a plain screenshot mean without the window decoration/characters or any other windows on your screen.

All screenshots can be taken in as high a quality as you like... When the screenshots are larger it means there is room for moving it around to get the best look for a loading screen... and since the loading screens center is actually 800x600 we cant go any lower than that.


NOTE: Although this isn\'t an \"official\" competition (meaning its not actually run by the devs) a few of the devs will be seeing the final products so ultimately it will be they who judge.

Here\'s one of the forest near the are where you can mine gold:

(I removed the image because it took up too much space on Geocities. Sorry for the inconvenience.)

BTW, Cherppow, those screens are really nice! The sewers one is my favorite.

EDIT: The image is now 800x600 and in BMP format, in accordance with Rule #6. (See below post.)
