Note: This thread is for screenshots of the game, NOT "screenshots of what you're doing" (http://www.alientrap.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=65)

I've noticed that many of the screenshots in the screenshot section of the web site are outdated, low res, and/or randomly taken. I just hate it when a website uses an awful screenshot when they are talkign about Nexuiz. Screenshots can often make an impression of what people think of a game, and especially the graphics, so I decided to make this thread where you can post YOUR screenshots of Nexuiz. Many of the best screenshots of a game, even commercial games, come from users, not the official ones.

Guidelines:

*Try to make your screenshots at least 1024x768. Small screenshots can be really annoying. Also, try to have your pictures on an external site or something and link to those pictures instead of inserting the pictures right into your post because of loading times, etc.

*Try to make your screenshots look cool! Capture the coolest looking architiecture, blooms, explosions, effects, etc.

*Turn on all effects, full resolution, best texture quality, anisotropic filtering, antialiasing, everything. It doesn't matter if it makes the game go at 0.5 fps. You aren't making a movie.

*I've heard the screenshot gamma is waaay to high in Darkplaces. Take a screenshot with the print screen button and paste it into a paint program, or take a screenshot with Nexuiz and lower the gamma with image editing software. Or, lower the screenshot gamma using the console. (I don't know the command, if someone knows please post).

Thought they seem a bit bright and the first one is very subtle..
Oh and the variable is scr_screenshot_gamma

No, my pc is not very high end, but not that bad either. Some P4ht 3.2GHz, Ati 9800Pro 128mb graphic card, 1GB ram. Its not a big surprise that your Nexuiz does not look that nice as those have been screenshots of the upcoming Nexuiz 1.6 which will feature deluxemapping. That thing will make a big difference visually. Basicly its bump/glossmapping in the whole level not just in areas with realtime lights, so one could disable RT lights and things still look great. RT lights can be very heavy FPS wise. And you might notice two of the screens have fps around 30 because i had RT lights on.
I'll try to make some more screenshots without showing FPS :)

yeah, thats indeed a cool idea to do such screenshots, really good ones will be added to planetnexuiz.de once I get the new version up of it.

some hints when providing screenshots:
- don't provide too much downsized screenshots, provide full-size screenshots (so that the "end-user" can still do things with it=
- disable showfps so that you don't see your (mostly low :)) FPS when capturing
- you can use .. err ...thinks ....impulse 14 (or was it impulse 19) to create a clone of yourself. use the tricks in the forums then to have a "demo view" (no HUD, no weapon, no crosshair) and fly around using "ghost" / "fly" cheat (after using "sv_cheats 1") and take screenshots of yourself
- use Antialiasing feature of your graphiccard, however you have to take care that antialiasing won't mess up very detailed textures

I gonna do some screenshots too, soon
