Chaos web site 'Pic-taker' out of action; a call to arms
Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2004 8:27 pm
Hi kids
Seems something has changed for me recently, and I dunno what it could be, except maybe 3236...., but that's wild guess at this point, as I haven't 'rolled back' to check.
Anyway, I have outdated machine, yet I am usually the one who takes hi-res pics for the Chaos manual, and web site, and so on. I would simply crank up details, and go 'slide-show' (very few FPS), and get the shots I needed. Took forever, but I could get the job done.
However, something now is different. Where I used to simply go very, very slow in high detail (where I could at least take a sshot), nowadays I get massive graphics errors. Huge portions of them game simply vanish off my screen, or start 'flashing'. Stuff like my weapon, or my HUD, or the trees in the background, or the darn enemy base.
I'll have a new computer soon, and this little issue will go away. However, in the meantime, not very many hi res shots are making it to the web site. So, this is a call for sshots, with super high details. If you'd like to help, post some shots here please. Only shots on very high details though please, cause lower detail shots I can take myself.
All kinds of things would be nice to have. Action shots showing the new melee options in DM and KOTH and TeamKOTH, maybe new turretcam HUDs, whatever.
Just FYI. I've tried lately to take more 'promo' type pics, and it's just not happening on this old machine anymore.

No Hi-Res shots with my xhairs shown in them
