Hey all, I was browsing through our 'shots' section looking for inspiration, and decided that they are in need of some serious work. Not only do they need to be updated, but a little reorganizations couldn't hurt either: just having it split into cube 2/ cube 1 isn't cutting it.

I'm planning to recreate most/all of the existing shots using the most recent release (not svn) so that the shots can be straight-up replaced. Should I make any format changes while I'm doing this (different aspect ratio, higher res, etc?)

Also, I'm of the opinion that there should be a much larger set of subdivisions, that would go something like this (feel free to add/ rearrange/ etc):

Shots for Cube 2
----------------
Normal Gameplay
Maps (no HUD)
Editor Screenshots
Special Effects (bloom, etc)
Guns and Ammo
Characters
Eisenstern

Shots for Cube 1
----------------
Normal Gameplay
Maps (no HUD)
Editor Screenshots
Guns and Ammo
Characters

#1: To Better Begin the Discussion

The reason I think we need more subdivision (and more screens total in order to fill said sections) is twofold: one, it'll be better publicity, people will have a better idea of what they're getting. Two, it will provide the community with better references: someone asks a question, we can point them to an image that illustrates what we're talking about (this mostly applies to having a section for editing).

Something I should point out, as I was going through the screenies... one of the most popular shots is the 8th on the first page (second to last). Isn't that map *still* unreleased? Quite a few of the shots are actually quite unfamiliar to me, which I find surprising, I consider myself extremely familiar with almost all the maps published.

Just make whatever shots you want, and I will integrate them, provided they are better than the old ones, which is probably certain. :)

I would use the wide screen aspect ratio/resolution that is used on the first page of screen shots, but other than that, have fun with it.

I think the 8th shot was one of the SP maps? I could be wrong but that's what comes to mind when I see it.

The 7th shot for Cube 2 is the one I've never seen, or recall seeing.

The 8th shot IS from one of the SP maps, I definitely remember playing it.

The 7th shot is not a map in the Sauer menus, it might be included with the game though.

I could contribute high quality shots also, my computer runs the game w/ everything on max w/ a res of 1440x900 and ~30fps.
