I love democracy...I love Hard-Light Productions. I threw together a poll on Discord and to the surprise of no one, a reasonable number of you want this to return. BEHOLD, the Screencap contest has come home to roost. To the newcomers unfamiliar, this contest was started years ago. Eventually it ended up in my hands and I stopped it sometime in 2020. The contest is simple, you submit a screenshot that is based on a given theme and I then decide who has the best screenshot. The winner gets a lovely badge next to their name for a month. At the end of the year, a winner is chosen based on the number of months.
As with all contests, there are rules:
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.
Now as for a theme for July, because this is being started later into the month I'm going to go with no theme for now, hit me with your screenshots and may the best screenshot win.
At the end of the month, all screenshots will be collected and eventually posted to the wiki. Whenever my ADHD allows me to do so.
Have at it you feral animals.

Much like Nyx, I've had to dive deep into my screenshot folder to find some stuff I don't think I've shared. Some stuff from Walls/Shepherds and from when I played coop with my pal. Second shots actually the Walls Knossos thumbnail but without the text :cool:

Yes, it's Gamma39er's "Cinematic Warp". You can find it in the "Asset Releases" board.
I use it to override the MVPs warp effects by just placing the files in the MVPs data folder. To get it to work properly with newer nightly builds and upcoming 25.0 stable, you'll have to tweak the provided table file a bit.
