We're going to start switching out the title screen artwork every version (version not patch) using player submitted screenshots and screenshot art. If we use your submission you'll get your screenshot and name on the opening title screen of the game for a version and we'll credit your account with 1000 perk points in each perk category.
Many of the submissions that don't win will be used for other things such as the webpage and promotional or marketing materials.
Submissions need to have a minimum vertical size of 1024 pixels.
Email your submissions to: screenshots@hitechcreations.com

HiTech Creations shall have the right to use, modify, reproduce, publish, perform, display, distribute, make derivative works of and otherwise commercially and noncommercially exploit the submissions in perpetuity and in any manner or medium now existing or hereafter developed, without separate compensation to you or any other person or entity.

Do they have to have the high res. Enabled?
-
You should use high-res, I think it would be pretty hard to win without using it. Anti-aliasing helps a lot too. It's like an AH glamour shot, you want things to be as perfect as you can get them. That goes for subject matter too. A newer plane model is going to be a much better close-up subject than an older plane in need of a rework.
-
This is great, I finally have a use for some of my scenario screen shots should they be good enough for the splash screen.
Pyro is there a limit on how many we can send?
-
Is there an optimal resolution that you would like to see? As I recall the 1680x1050 shots I usually take get squished horizontally a bit when I use them for the splash screen.
-
it wont let me email to the link?
-
No limit on entries. We want as much as we can get so we have a good library of screenshots available.
Ultimately the screenshots go on a window that defaults to a 4:3 aspect ratio. We'll work with the screenshot to get it to look good on there.
-

What's it do, bounce back? If so, what's the failure message? I just tried it and it worked for me from a yahoo account.
-
Will there be a seperate thread for screenshots we'd like posted on the AH homepage? I have plenty of those, nothing worthy of the title screen though.

its says default mail if not properly installed
-
Pyro I'm probably going to flood the in-box. :D Do you mind if I zip them up into a package or should I just attach all of them?
-

That just means you don't have a default mail program on your box. Instead of clicking on the link, copy and paste it into your mail program.

I prefer them unzipped but go ahead and zip them if you're sending large quantities.
-
Can the shots be edited via paint shop/photoshop?
-
Submissions need to have a minimum vertical size of 1024 pixels.
Do you mean in the horizontal? My largest screenshot is only 1900x1000 and that's because I only used a separate background picture.

Thank you :salute

DAMN! :O Nice one sir!

Pyro, do you want edited screens? Borders, AH logo's, ect.... Or just a normal screenshot???
-
Heck ya....guess I am gonna have some work to do....can't fly yet:-( next best thing
-

If it were me (and I might send in a few), I'd send just the screenshot. No fancy border, logo or lifted model pasted onto a non-AH2 background. Give them 100% content from in-game. Image adjustments with GIMP or Photoshop to make them look nice would be Ok, as long as it's not embellished with things that the game doesn't do.
They might have other uses for drastically embellished art, so feel free to go crazy. :D
-
Thanks Imadot... Are we gonna post pics here as well? Would be nice to see all the entries.. :aok
-
Kazaa, I wouldn't post them in here. Just send them to the e-mail. Don't want to spoil others' idea if they also are sending in a typhie shot, or that sort of thing. Also, I'd rather it be a pleasant surprise to see in-game :)

-
thank ya Tuk.....hopefully ill be up and running soon :-)

I tried sending an email, but it kept saying that there was an error sending the message. Then I tried sending it to myself and got the same error. After a few minutes the email actually did get sent to me so I'm sorry if you happen to have multiple of the same email from me.

Nice Skin :aok :bolt:

Fake, got to be.
-
I remember seeing that picture in my B29 thread. Way before the vote for the B-29 ever happened.
-
Yes, it's fake.
-
Kazaa was selected for this version's title screen. Thanks Kazaa, your perk points have been added.
Keep your submissions coming. We'll continue to swap out the title art with every new version we release.
-
Congrats Kazaa... :aok
-
Congrats Kaz........beauty of a shot sir :salute
-
Thanks gents. <S>

A newer plane model is going to be a much better close-up subject than an older plane in need of a rework.
Then you should remodel them :banana: :bolt:
-
How would I pull stills of a ahf file?
-
Open AH film viewer. Select file, then hit open. You will see the films you have saved. Pick one and hit play. Use the directional sliders, distance sliders (as well as pageup/pagedown, arrows and z keys on your keyboard) to move the view to where you want it. You can allso double-click other players names in the film to see things from their perspectives. Fast forward through boring stuff and slow things down with the speed button when you think you have something. Once you like what you see, hit full screen. Then hit print screen on your keyboard. Then open Paint, paste and save. Ta-da!

WTG Blade, nice splash screen art. :aok

Congrats Blade, your account has been credited with the perks.
-
Congrats Blade!
-
TUK, Pyro, BMathis, Thank you very much :)
I'm going to capture next screen shot. :salute
Sorry I'm not good at English. :pray
-
Never mind.
-
Are we allowed to use blood effects in our submissions? Tastefully done ofc! Are HTC P.C about these things?
-
question-can we still send in screenshots even if we dont have an online account? i have some old films that i could get a few good screenshots out of.
-
Congrats to cactuskooler for his winning submission! Sorry but we've had a problem with how we resized it and we've had to revert back to the previous version for now while we troubleshoot the issue. Hopefully, we'll get it back in there soon.
-
Sorry I broke the game, everyone!

You gotta expect that with the 39 pilots involved :)
-
Πρ, are older submissions rolled over into the pool for the next contest? Or would they have to be resubmitted?
-
so...is this versions title screen going to change, or can i just use one of my own pics?
-
You can replace your own locally. What they are changing is the default that gets packaged with the game. You get a little notoriety, and the folks that play the game get some cool visuals on the splash page.
