Hey all!
What can I say? Axem's done himself proud running the contest for a long time now. :nod: I'm glad for the chance to give him a break from it - this should be fun!
For January's theme... I was initially thinking we'd do a free month, but we did that just now. So the theme is... fireworks! Give us a light show! It doesn't have to be literal fireworks, either - rainbow beamz, colorful explosions, ships with way too many glowpoints, even vivid nebulas! Something colorful and celebratory, let's think New Year people. :cool:
--------------------------------------------------------------
The rules are:
1: No HUD! (Jump nodes are ok though!)
2: Images must be presented as they would be as seen with only the FSO engine rendering the image. Remember that these entries help to show off what the engine can do for new players! So that means no after the fact photoshopping (except for cropping), and no external shader programs (reshade and the like). No lens flares, contrast shifts, colorizers, etc.
3: Max 3 entries per person!
4: Again, these screenshots are a way to promote Freespace and the FSO Engine - let's keep it in good taste.
Use the screencap script to help you take that perfect shot! (https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=82173.0) (do we need to update the screencap script?)
-
The screencap script works just fine, but it tends to crash when used in anything based on Blue Planet (which was driving me nuts the last month :P).

Welp, here's my first entry then

I like the drama of the shot! :nod: Looks like it's beaming some disco party goodness down to a *lucky* Shivan below!

Just had it helpfully pointed out to me that the topic was listed as January 2018! Lol. :D

You need your own generic skybox.pof though. Pls don't ask me who made it or were it's from.

Stop using forum attachments pleeeease, don't you want your marvels to be visible in a year?

I probably should figure out how to get that stuff on MediaFire, I mean their wonderful German translation tells me that I'll find myself in "Spiritual equilibrium" when all my data are safe and protected. On the other hand it's telling me that I'm almost out of the room, and that I am no place to put new files at.

Just use Imgur. You don’t even need to register, iirc.
-
I use dropbox. Free with lots of space. You have to edit the URL to embed images using bbcode, but it's easy once you know how. :)

Was working all day to get this one working.

Lol wow, that's slick! Plane reminds me of the Night Raven from Ace Combat 3. Or the Geopalia or whatever it was. There were a few rounded flying wing things in that game that I can't keep straight, not to mention the flying fortresses throughout the series. You make that yourself? :cool:
-
Yep! I did coincidentally have a ship based on the Geopelia, but this one was based on Air Combat's Sky Fortress.

Air Combat was the first AC game I beat and still my third favorite after 4 and Zero. :D

Hey all, only a few days left! Now's your chance to show off how you think the New Year should be celebrated in SPACE :D and maybe promote a campaign/project of your while you're at it!

You need to add the file format. Also, you can quote posts to see how the tags have to be set.
The shot is pretty cool. :)
-
@Nightmare Ohhh I see. Thank you for the tip!
Unfortunately I don't think the crew aboard that ship think it's cool. Some are just hard to please :(
-
Nice one, very slick! We should use this for promo purposes. :nod:

The crew of the GTC Tannenberg petitions the officials of the Screencap Contest to have their deaths not used for any kind of promotional purpose. ;)

Oh, okay :yes:

Denied! Only in death does duty end, and if you're going to go out might as well go out with a bang amirite? :lol:

Hi all, just checking in to give a quick update! I apologize for being very behind on judging. I fell sick with a nasty recurring bug that laid me low for the past weeks and it's been hectic. :p
Anyway. I'll be fine once I recover, just taking things much more low-key for a bit. I'll try to judge properly/write up the next month's contest soon ok? :)
-
Again, I apologize for the delay. Hospital stays aren't great for your coordination/general sense of what's going on. ;)
This month's winner is: Nightmare!

Looks like that GTB Rhea (wait what is that) came dressed to impress! Let's hear some appreciation for everyone's hard work!

****, hope you got rid of with whatever you had. :)

:nervous:
I'd guess it's karma to make me feel bad that I win with something I threw together in a minute after I complained about people winning with cheap things made by other people earlier. :o
Kinda good thing for me that nobody recognizes the ship though. :D
-
I certainly recognize the ship, but I do not recall what mod it was supposed to be in (in short: another fine project which could not be completed). The artwork/teaser blurbs for that particular destroyer was pretty neat - do you mind reminding us of its origins?
-
It's the Chimera fighter from MT - the TFs desgins were mostly vertical ships, so the Demogorge destroyer looks quite similar.
-
That's a gorgeous one indeed. Like a mini supernova!

Take it easy and get well soon!
