Background Contest #2 - For Real this Time!

[yeyo JK]

I think that map would make a decent background. The colors might go well with the logo.

to fix size im just photoshopped these few images!... from JKA maps retouched by me, cause i have no idea how take widescreen 4k HD quality screenshots in game :/ they look good, but if someone gonna help me about 4k screentshoots, it will be appreciated

Those are really nice. The blurring might be a bit overdone though.

I was just playing MB2 cloudcity, although I believe that is a great entry it doesn't fall under the line as just strictly Jka right? If it does then I should be taking tons more pics XD

[Darth Sion]

So much YES!!!

Base JK2 or JKA only, yes. Unless you can convince @@eezstreet otherwise.

[MagSul]

I like this one. o.O

 

 

 

I would say that would look something like this

 

 

 

 

The folder @@Circa posted had some great ones:

• https://www.dropbox.com/sh/806a254pnpgmplc/AAAouScLxxJJAQ2u-7SqCvg1a/5.jpg?dl=0

 

I still have my folder from last time too.

it looks like you've taken a screenshot then scaled it up (then blurred). The shots themselves are nice but the quality I'm not a fan of

"Cause i have no idea how take widescreen 4k HD quality screenshots in game :/ they look good, but if someone gonna help me about 4k screentshoots, it will be appreciated" 

.... I totally agree Omicron

[Omicron]

Try jaMME. It can record in resolutions greater than you your monitor is (demolist), so you can use that to take a screenshot.

[Iffo]

Thought I'd at least give it a go . Can get higher res if needed.

 

[eezstreet]

Reminder that the deadline is coming up soon!

Hi

 

When I take my screenshots in JAMME, they do not look so high-def and the size resolution is 640 x 480.

 

 

How do you make your screenshots high-res with the appropriate size resolutions?

 

Thanks

Love the cantina one

[Darth Sion]

I'm picking this one.. It's a good, high-res image and the map looks VERY high quality. It also emphasizes and encourages people's high-quality work on the forum/site.

The forum for the background contest has been created. The voting for the background contest will start on June 1st and conclude on June 17th. Good luck to all! We had a good number of people participate in this contest as well.

Two things I want to suggest:

Could you please hide the voting results until the voting phase is over? Is that possible? People tend to pick up other peoples opinion, by seeing the current result.

People can only vote if they are members since May or something like that. (Not sure if that's common in this forum, actually I doubt it, but I have seen a lot of contests where people created some fake accounts to vote for themselves)

 

To all the people participating in this contest. May the force be with you.

 

P.S.: For sportsmanship I wont vote for my own submission. I hope other people will do the same.

People can't see the voting results unless they've voted or have opted to see the results.

 

There's requirements in place like what you describe though. People can't vote unless they've contributed to the community in some way (not in terms of content uploaded, but other ways).

A few of them are really bright. Even though my favorite is a bright looking one, people need to keep in mind that a bright background can be stressful for the eyes

Ok, never experienced that before. Even on websites with white background. But if it affects somebody, we should really consider leaving the bright ones out or tone them down. (even if that includes my submission )

[Circa]

I don't see many that are bright enough to be brighter than the other elements on this site (mostly white or light greyish blue).

 

For what it's worth, we will probably have multiple theme options in the future to help with this sort of thing.

[afi]

I actually installed a plugin to make facebook and youtube mostly black. But yea, since most of the page is covered by forum elements and widgets it should be okay. Just wanted to point that out

Night theme

I would like to see these as background:
