Official Screenshot Contest Questions / Comments

Black Mesa Archive The Cafeteria
#1

If you want to ask a question, post a comment or discuss the screenshot contest, please use this thread and NOT the submission thread.

Thanks guys!

#2

What does the winner get?

#3

Satisfaction.

#4

You said we could use Source Filmmaker to make the screenshots. Does that mean we can make things that aren’t physically impossible in game for our submissions?

Another note, is overlaying text against the rules?

#5

How do you post your image as a URL?

#6

Sure

No, go ahead

You can upload your screenshots to an image host or use your Steam screenshoots, then post the URL in the submission thread without the IMG tags, so that it’s just the URL and not the actual image.

#7

Interesting, I wonder what I will screenshot…

#8

Does this mean each person can only submit 3 screenshots, or that they can make as many posts as they want but each post may only be 3 screenshots?
Also when does competition close?

#9

3 screenshots total per person.

Pfft, ain’t worth it then :stuck_out_tongue: But eh, I may try and participate - haven’t fired the mod in a while anyway, good excuse!

Still, a better prize would be nice… :wink:

#11

As a prize I will come over to the house of the winner while they sleep. I’ll creep up to their bed and lean over close to caress their cheek and whisper ’ You are special ’ into their ear before slipping out undetected.

runners up will get slightly less creepy and strange prizes!

:stuck_out_tongue:

#12

I’m sold! I guess I should reinstall FRAPS so I don’t rely on Steam’s ugly compression…

#13

Maybe an exclusive template in the wiki indicating that image is more special than the others?

#14

You should make all entries require the highest graphical settings

#15

Update: As I have seen too many people posting more than 3 screenshots per entry, I changed the wording on the rules to make it even more clear:

Now I will not send heads up to people that don’t follow the rules anymore.

#16

Thanks for waking me up on this I never realised that the view from the pipe in surface tension created the logo…

that just makes me wonder how long they spent lining up the skybox to make this possible.

Nice touch that went unnoticed for me until now

#17

…get a screen shot on my desktop and put it in the steam screenshot folder? I can’t figure it out for the life of me.

Better yet, what’s the best way to get a screen shot from my computer and create a link to it so it can be posted?

thanks!

#18

Hereyou go.

#19

I wish that gibs didn`t disappear. I wanted to make a pic with gibbet soldier put back together, but as I tried that his body parts went missing. x)

Anyway I have few more pics and one good scenery pic, whose I cant post because cap is just 3. Anyway, I would post few funny glitch screens as well, but since they shows glitches of game then they wont be appropiate for this contest. XD
