Good job, will it be easy for beta dudes to add more screens?

Regular shots ftw

Holey Moley. Nice update thank you very very much.

D3pth · 03-20-2007, 11:10 AM

What a wonderful idea! Hope this means we get to see a lot more shots now...

Elkz · 03-20-2007, 12:30 PM

See Schtoofa, nobody gives a cock wallet if the media you show isn't polished up etc. In fact I actually prefer seeing how the mod actually is now so I can kinda put a figure in my head of how long there is left to wait.

Nice update and nice idea.

Im updating all over my pants!

Jayman · 03-20-2007, 01:23 PM

"cock wallet" ftw.

Also, is there anywhere off-site we can see the new pics?

/shakes fist at websense

The beta folks can upload whatever shots they want to a private area. Then we (on dev side) go through them and do the trivial stuff like add the branding stamp, make the proper size thumbnails, upload to the FF web host, take advantage and filter out some (like the pink and black checkerboard crap!), etc.

The testers play beta FF and seem happy to take screenshots, so we might as well capture more of what they see and give you guys pictures to show state-of-the-mod. The testers run at diff resolutions, have diff hardware configs, etc. so you'll see variation amongst the quality of pics, too.

no, i'm sorry. 8800 GTS is the minimal vid card required for entrance, and you're just not up to spec.

j/k of course. we have no beta testers.

I don't suppose you'll be making a news post every time you upload a batch of beta shots, so maybe have a cookie on the beta shots page and have the front page page show like a small "new shots!" gif next to the media button on the front page or something?

Imbrifer · 03-20-2007, 05:43 PM

Y'all are welcome :P

Anyway, I'm glad this got going - its a groovy idea and its obviously appreciated by the community

FootLong · 03-20-2007, 05:45 PM

Good stuff!

Stephen · 03-20-2007, 06:38 PM

Just saw the shots (now that I'm home) - very nice

What's the deal with the flying skull in the pyro shot?

This is exactly the sort of P.R. stuff I was talking about. Now all it takes is someone to review the stuff the beta testers did and it can be uploaded on a more regular basis.

I would like to add a suggestion for beta testers to submit video (recorded with FRAPS, demos converted to video, etc.) that can be used towards a video media release.

I still think you need a dedicated P.R. man though.

If I recall correctly, the flying skull is the incendiary cannon's rocket. Or just a placeholder for it.
