Screenshot drive
« on: May 01, 2007, 11:42:34 AM »
Calling all AH shutterbugs!  We are having a drive to get new screenshots for the screenshot section of our webpage.  We will be giving out Aces High T-shirts, hats, and mousepads to everyone who submits a screenshot that we use.

If we use 1-2 of your screenshots, take your choice of 1 item.
If we use 2-4 of your screenshots, take your coice of 2 different items.
If we use 5 or more of your screenshots, take all 3 items.


Important!  Read and follow these instructions:

Screenshots must be taken directly from the game or from the film viewer.  Use the film viewer for screenshots if you don't want the chat buffer obstructing things.

Screenshots are to be sized to minimum of 1024 lines of horizontal resolution , e.g. 1024 x 768, and a maximum of 1280 lines of horizontal resolution.  Widescreen format is acceptable but must conform to the max horizontal resolution.  Screenshots are to be converted to a high quality .jpg.  NO OTHER MODIFICATIONS to the screenshots are allowed.    

Screenshots must be from the current version- 2.10 Patch 2.

Email screenshots to dougb@hitechcreations.com with the subject: Screenshot submission

Screenshots must be received by Monday morning, May 7.

Include your name, mailing address, and game id in your email.  Also include your top 2 prize picks in order of preference and your T-shirt size.

For best results, use hi-res textures and anti-aliasing to improve image quality.

Find a cool looking scene, action, or subject for your screenshots that captures the imagination.  We'll only be using the most interesting and appealing screenshots that are submitted.

If you are seeing the older sky color when viewing films, just delete your arena.cfg file from your settings directory to start with the new defaults.

I highly recommend using the film viewer to get your screenshots.  That will allow you to pause the action and select the best viewing angle.  Once you have done that, click on the fullscreen button and then use Alt PrtScn to copy the image.  Open Paint or another graphics program and paste the image there.

I changed the resolution requirements so that 1024 is the min and 1280 is the max.  Widescreen format is ok as long as the resolution requirement is adhered to.
