OUNS Screenshot Contest

Postby Roanoke » Sat Nov 28, 2009 7:57 pm

OUNS is, unfortunately, a text based wiki. There are some images here and there, but they are few, far in between, and not of good quality. This is why I am starting the OUNS Screenshot Contest. The goal is to make the best screenshot(s) of the items OUNS needs screenshots of (listed below).

What OUNS needs:

Strength (spawned, unspawned)
Shield (Spawned, unspawned)
Maps that come with nexuiz
Mutators (where possible [i.e. vampire isn't possible, but cloaked is], particularly ghost weapons and the sort)
Powerups (health, shield)
Anything else you think OUNS needs.


Rules:

Screens must be rendered exclusively by nexuiz. No post-processing allowed.
Screens must portray the subject in an obvious manner.
Screens can use any effects and settings desired.
There is no maximum or minumum resolution, but they will be scaled down prior to inclusion in OUNS to 500x500px.
Screens will be judged on a per-subject basis (strength screens will be judged with strength screens, etc.)
No HUD should be showing, unless it is important to the screenshot.
Entries should be saved in lossless TGA or high quality JPEG. Lossy screenshots with visible artifacts will not be considered.
All entries must be submitted before 12:00:00 GMT on February 28th.


To aid potential "photographers", I've put together a screenshot script, with help from C. Brutail's post a while ago.
Code: Select all

//These are the settings the user likes. They are used when the hud is reshown. The below is executed in nn_install_binds.cfg
alias sc_gathersettings "seta sc_crosshair $crosshair; seta sc_waypoints $cl_hidewaypoints; seta sc_radar $cl_teamradar; seta sc_viewmodel $r_drawviewmodel; seta sc_viewsize $viewsize; seta sc_showdate $showdate; seta sc_showfps $showfps; seta sc_showspeed $showspeed; seta sc_showtime $showtime; seta sc_netgraph $shownetgraph; seta sc_brightness $v_brightness; seta sc_chat $con_chat;"

${sc_once}sc_gathersettings
seta $sc_once "//" //Thanks, AoT

//Show/hide hud
alias sc_huderase "crosshair 0 ; cl_hidewaypoints 1 ; cl_teamradar 0 ; r_drawviewmodel 0 ; viewsize 120 ; showdate 0 ; showfps 0 ; showspeed 0 ; showtime 0 ; shownetgraph 0 ; v_brightness 0.000000 ; con_chat 0; alias sc_hudaction sc_hudshow;"

alias sc_hudshow "crosshair $sc_crosshair; cl_hidewaypoints $sc_waypoints; cl_teamradar $sc_radar; r_drawviewmodel $sc_viewmodel; viewsize $sc_viewsize; showdate $sc_showdate; showfps $sc_showfps; showspeed $sc_showspeed; showtime $sc_showtime; shownetgraph $sc_netgraph; v_brightness $sc_brightness; con_chat $con_chat; alias sc_hudaction sc_huderase"

//Make it a bind
bind b "sc_hudaction"


//Switch screens from tga to jpeg
alias sc_screenformat "toggle scr_screenshot_jpeg; scr_screenshot_jpeg_quality 1"
bind f8 "sc_screenformat"

// END SCREENSHOT CONFIG ---------------------------------------------------------------
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use is simple. Save it to a file and put it in nexuiz/data. Make the file exec by adding a line to autoexec.cfg:
Code: Select all
exec filenamehere.cfg

Or, put it autoexec.cfg itself. Press F8 to toggle the script between TGA and JPG files. Press "b" to toggle the hud (the script remembers and restores your settings, if you change them call sc_gathersettings). This has already been implemented in my fork of z's venerable ninja pack, and it executes automatically when you start it, so it may be better to update if you're already using it.

The reward? Your screenshot (should it best the other screenshots of the same subject) will be included in the OUNS page for that subject.

Have fun, and make OUNS better for everyone!

Looks like the professional bindsmith is missing a double quote. :oops:

That's not bad at all. We'll see if anyone else submits flags.
