Looking back at the sauer homepage, i came to realise how "crappy" the game looks by the screenshots provides, though it has advanced in so many ways since the days these images were added. Most of them are more likely to turn people away if they ever see them.

So, for whoever is interested, i say we take some new awesome pictures of the new maps, the cool features and other crazy yet awesome stuff that would make someone to seriously try the game out. after all, presentation is what matters on quadropolis as well for this game.

1280x720??? Why the nonstandard and unnecessarily huge size? Those images would take ages to load! It should be at most 640x480 or if you insist on using widescreen, 800x480.

-Resolution: 1024x768
-Anti-Aliasing: 8x or higher
-No modified media (maps, textures, models, etc.)
-Shaders On
-Texcompress Off
-lighterror 1 and lightprecision 32 then calclight on every map you're taking a picture on to improve the looks.
-glare off in case it blocks a great view (should work well with water specularity)

How is it fair to expect people to calclight every map they're 'capturing? On my computer (2 GHz, 2 GB RAM) it takes a good three hours to calclight Shipwreck—and even then, screwing up the lightmaps.

3 hours for shipwreck? with the worst of computers it would take at most 20 minutes. where are you from? 1980?

yea. 3 hours is ridiculously slow, seriously
but i do the calclight only for maps with crappy lighting, so its pretty much optional if you don't want to. its all about a good screenshot :)

1. I like curvy-castle pretty much, and even if it doesn't show fancy particles or such, I think it's worth at least one screenshot.

2. you are right, i just found it in my screens directory from a previous taking :D

3. sorry for that...

4. I wanted to show the big hole under the flag, because it is an important part of reissen. How often does someone fall down there if he wants to score? ;)

5. I actually was in spectator mode for screens 2 and 3... most of the shots i made were spoiled by big trees blocking the sight -.-

6. well, It shows nearly the whole map :P what else do you want to take a picture of in tortuga? detailed shot's of a wall? o.O

how did you make the shots without them saying "SPECTATOR"? (I mean, how did you remove the text and stuff from the display?)

I just kept hidehud on all the way... it still shows the console and menus, so I can easily pick another map and adjust bloom 'n' stuff. :P

No problem. I was pretty close to an RTFM though, so do read it: http://sauerbraten.org/docs/game.html#gameplay_commands
