Title: Main Page.
Post by: JcFerggy on February 28, 2009, 09:55:28 pm

On the main page, there is a Post-It with a tiny screenshot of Caves. I was thinking, and I thought it would be cool if it was a set to a randomizer, so it would be a different image every time (Like my avatar and signature).

I went ahead and made one already, and I want to know everyone's opinions.

Just refresh the link to see a different image, and there is 8 total.

I likes.

Just throwing this out there, but it could also be used for a practical purpose.
ie: Map development progress.

Otherwise, randomizing it would make things that much better. (http://forums.blitwise.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif)

Good idea. It would bring some more logic to the "Latest surveillance" title anyway, since surveillance is supposed to be updated frequently. I can take some screens of maps and gameplay if you want.

It was changed manually for the Beta 3 release. I'm more interested in an automated one.

Thanks to Wake, it has been added. We decided only to have levels with newer content in them. There are 2 screens of Archives, 2 of Caves, 2 of Facility, 2 of Egyptian, and 3 of Runway.

Tell you the truth, but it was like that with the Cave's picture before we did this. Later I can make a better version of the template if you want, but currently my computer is being used my by mom, and I'm posting from my brothers.

I know. The way it was before [the update of the caves picture] is how its suppose to be, to resemble a polaroid picture. Smooth edges, etc.

A good idea, i was thinking about something like that the other day when looked at that image, to have it cycle.  Random screenshots are always fun :)

heh. Something I didn't realize is that egyptian's big pillars have the per-vertex lighting for you low quality settings wankers, since you don't use the normalmaps (normalmaps + phong render differently, and don't use the per-vertex lighting). The per-vertex lighting can look slightly wonky since they are such big props.

Please use antialiasing or some sort of smoothing filter on the edges of the picture frame, dear god!

Great idea! It should spice up the current main page.
