The 800x600 MAXIMUM screenshot thread (56k no no)

Garp · 5 Jul 2005 at 11:23

Okay.. a second chance thread. 800x600 ONLY screenshots in this thread. Provide a link to the full image if you like, but only post images up to 800x600 here. If I see a single picture over 800x600 I'll RTM for the thread to be closed.

edit: New Rule: No pointless score screenshots. This isn't a place to wave your e-peen around. I don't care if you're l33t or not.

edit2: New New Rule: Please post only screenshots you yourself have taken from gameplay on your box

Everyone sees all those promo shots and we all know (being the cynical types that we are) that they're not what the actual game play is like. Keep it real folks!

Its not hard, in fact its rather simple. If you haven't got the software there is a 100% free solution in http://www.irfanview.com/

Not got much uploaded on my space, I'm generally playing Eve, and recently have been sniping, but I'll take a few scenic shots tonight for y'all (assuming the game comes back up after its huge patch)

Click to see full screen. That was an odd looking Angel Trucker (NPC pirates) one of my corp mates came across whilst out ratting. Unfortunately it was moving a tad fast, probably around 600m/sec, compared to his 180 odd his Battleship was doing. Thankfully I'd just got back from empire space and was flying my "FlyBoy", an MWD / Tackling Tristan frigate, that'll do just shy of 1.7km/sec; so I ganged with him and went chasing down the trucker. When I'd reached the target he was then able to warp to my character at 20km distance and wtfpwn it.
Just for a laugh I'm firing my two rather weak 75mm gatling railguns at it.

Even MS Paint can resize pictures - and i'd say other than maybe a couple of hardcore nLiter's (and mac/linux users) pretty much every person on these boards has MS Paint and as such no excuse for not resizing pictures

What about those of us without 4:3 screens?

If we resize to 800 the other side is 640, is that acceptable?

kd123 · 5 Jul 2005 at 12:04

C'mon BF2 screenies!!!!

EDIT: humourous/ownage ones if possible

Yes, that's fine. 800 wide is as far as I'll allow it.

Not true

I used a very simple bit of BBCode to make it a linked image. On my webspace there are two files, one called tmb-trucker.jpg which is a 640x512px image, and one called trucker.jpg which is my native 1280x1024 size.

then all you do is put [ url=path to large image here][ img]path to small image here[/img][/url]

obviously, removing the spaces before url and img in the opening tags.
Then you get an image, that is also a link to another one.

My thread, my rules. Don't like it? Don't post here

MouseMat2004 · 5 Jul 2005 at 16:14

If you want to be sarcastic, do it somewhere else, especially if you want to have a go at the rules I'm laying down - Davey

Garp · 5 Jul 2005 at 16:20

Come on guys, keep the thread on subject. I couldn't give a rats arse if you like the no more than 800 width rule or not, or even if you agree with it. This thread was a chance of forum peeps to show off screenies, in a manner that everyone can use / find acceptable after consistent ignorance of the rule forced the closure of the other thread. Instead, showing all the maturity of a petulant 5 year old, you've just moaned and complained.

What is this? the Nazi thread..

Does it really matter what size the pictures are? With broadband large pictures load plenty fast enough if you ask me..

Firstly, I'm not asking you.

Secondly, even on a JANET connection in work, some pages were taking a stupidly long time to load because some people were posting absolutely huge images.

The rules are there for a reason. It's to keep the thread neat and tidy, and quick to load for everyone. I'm not stopping you linking to higher-res images, but I will stop anyone posting anything over the sizes specified.

Now, if anyone wishes to continue to argue about this, feel free to click my sig to email me. Anyone who decides they want to continue arguing in here will find their posts deleted, and repeated offences may result in suspensions.

Nazi enough?
