SCREENSHOTS Hit Me With Your Best Shot! Screenshots. They could be considered the evidence of the very heart and soul of UO. Well, perhaps so, if you really stretch your imagination. Anyway... they sure do illustrate the game. On the front page of the UO web site, we have a special section for showing off players' screenshot shooting ability. If you think you've got the stuff to be a ScreenShooter, read the following specifications and start a-shootin'. When you think you have a picture that is particularly awesome, submit it to uo-screenshots@owo.com. If we like what we see, you may see your shot on the front page! And of course, we'll give credit where credit is due. Be sure to include your name as you would like it to read in the credit. Eventually we are going to create an entire screenshot gallery of player generated screenshots. We'll break them up into a variety of categories such as decorated houses, in-game events, large battles, humor (tasteful humor, that is), best dressed groups of characters, and ceremonies. If we get enough interest, we may even have a few contests to really highlight the people who know how to take a screenshot. Keep your eyes peeled for new information about the screenshots for the future. SPECS: Screen Shot Parameters: 640 x 480 24 bit color (to avoid banding or dithering) *.bmp format (to avoid compression) Aesthetics: No cursor in shot No conversation text in shot* No UO or windows interface in shot (gameplay area only)* No resizing of the shot Must be game engine generated (no fakes or other manipulation) * These two aesthetics can sometimes be included if they are integral to the composition of the shot.
