Title: Organized screenshot request
Post by: Inquisitor on September 19, 2003, 08:36:31 am: Someone out there has to have it, we saw some of it in http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,17416.0.html

What I want to do is p1mp this project outside the FS community. Bugs and all, this team has done some outstanding work.

IGC is just around the corner, I was planning on taking a build with me and showing off how smart you guys are. This embodies independent game development, IMHO.

So, what I need, before and after screenshots, and screenies of your favorite features in action (the first person to post a GPF gets smacked ;)).

Can we do it? Can we do it by October 9th?

Post by: Black Wolf on September 19, 2003, 10:05:28 am: If you're going to be pimping FS2, might I make some suggestions?

First, make sure you get before and after (the SCP) shots of as close to identical situations as you can get. This will really drive home the advances far more than just after shots.

I also think you should aim to get as many screenshots from mods and TCs as possible - show off TBP, the Inferno Fleet, the SW mod (someone will get the screenies for you I'm sure) etc. etc. Demonstrate what the rest of the community is doing while at the same time showing off the SCP.

Not sure if these'll fit into your overall plans, but I think they'd make nice pimp shots, especially some of Tomcats damn fine TBP ships, and Karmas SW texture jobs.

Post by: diamondgeezer on September 20, 2003, 12:51:03 pm: I pimped FS_Open to a site called geeksinbasements.com, but their email was fux0red. And I pimped at a SciFi Channel S:AAB message board, but I doubt that would have generated much interest...

Actually, this was a pretty pointless post.

You may need to get a video capture of the Electrobeams in action, dude. ;)

Title: QUEST
Post by: KARMA on October 04, 2003, 01:26:02 pm: may I suggest you to set up a screenshot quest?
all the submissions must be of 2 shots, one with the old fs2original, one with FSO, or single FSO shots.
The winners will be
1-who post the couple(s) of shots that highlight more the upgrades of FSO compared to fs2
and
2-who post the best FSO shot(s)
Evrybody can submit as much shots as they want
The ships shown can be the original fs2 ships or custom ships.
In my opinion original fs2 ships should be preferred to show the differences between fs2 and fso; when the custom ships (mods) should be used (since they have an higher pcount and make a more extensive use of fso possibilities) for the best FSO shots
Shots with custom ships will also be a good pubblicity for the SCP, the whole community (that can show skilled artists and many projects) and the single modding projects (therefore a link to the project homepage typed on the screenshots could be useful).
A brand new screenshots section both on hlp and freespace watch should be built for this purpose, so those who are going to pimp on external boards can point directly on those screenshots pages

Post by: Martinus on October 09, 2003, 10:23:14 am: [color=66ff00]Hmmm this is a great idea! :nod:

BTW deep_eyes I once pimped the SCP in lancers reactor and got a literal non result so I wouldn't be too hopeful, those guys are as diehard about Starlancer and Freelancer as we are about FS. :nod:

Post by: Styxx on October 09, 2003, 11:37:09 am: I'm working on it! Did you see the last screenies with the latest SCP stable release?
Title: Organized screenshot request
Post by: KARMA on October 09, 2003, 02:30:53 pm: I was obviously thinking at the new sshot section on the hlp site, but there isn't much so far (or there wasn't when I checked), and what there is doesn't really show in my opinion the big differences between FSO and FS2, nor is -in my opinion- the best selection of screenshots possible.
Hopefully it will grow soon, but a quest could be a funny way to fill the screenshot section faster and better:)

Post by: Setekh on October 12, 2003, 12:33:40 am: If you can get some good (ie. bigger than just in the techroom) shots of the in-game HT&L Anuket, we can still add them to the featured pic circulation. :)
