I could use some Planetfall screenshots for marketing purposes. Unfortunately my computer is ancient and in simply unable to do some graphical stuff like display shadows on terrain or let features adjust to terrain height. I also can't use any of the screenshots you have already posted, because those were meant ro show me a problem - not exactly good for marketing purposes. ;)

So that's why I'm asking if you guys could post your interesting screenshots here which show off Planetfall. :D

***

Could someone please make a screenshot (with highest graphical settings and single unit graphics turned on) of:

See last few posts for new requests.

To create a consistent look:
- These units should be placed in the center of a 3*3 Flat Moist bunch of plots. Or shelf in case of naval units.
- The terrain grid and terrain yield view should be turned off (Ctrl-T & Ctrl-Y)
- Single Unit Graphics should be turned on.
- Fully zoomed in, so the HP and faction flag disappears.
- In bmp or png format.

If you don't want to upload the whole image (which is rather large in size), you can cut off parts. I only need the unit itself with some terrain around it.
These screenshots are for button creation.

When do you need them the latest?

There's no end date. They're for use in various announcements and the first post of the download thread & main thread in the mod forum.

This screenshot is taken with all graphical settings to their maximum.

From my current campaign: capital besieged by native lifeforms.

Thanks that's a great screenshot. :)

Only a pity the sealurk doesn't have a texture yet. :(

Screenshot: my troops assaulting a Believer base (it seems they have really angered the Planet!)

Thanks!
Is that patch b or c btw?? :hmm:

I took that screenshot before donwloading patch c, it was still b.

Fortunately! - otherwise I still hadn't succeeded in making spawning spots unable to spawn adjacent to each other!

By the way, another request if you feel like making screenshots: could you please go into the worldbuilder, make patches of 3 by 3 plots of the same terrain with nothing of them, and make a screenshot of it? Then I could make good looking terrain buttons for the Datalinks.

Terrain types:

Flat Arid
Rocky Arid
Flat Moist
Rocky Moist
Flat Rainy
Rocky Rainy
Flat Polar
Rocky Polar
Shelf
Ocean
Trench

Here they are.
Please inform me when you download the pack so that I can remove it, I have to respect this forum's upload limit. :p

Thanks - downloaded!

Here is one showing the moment before starting a seabattle with Miriam:

Thanks! Though I at last changed the Cruiser art to that of the Stealth Destroyer after seeing your screenshot. ;)

Could someone please make a screenshot (with highest graphical settings and single unit graphics turned on) of:

The Flamethrower
The Unity Rover

These units should be placed in the center of a 3*3 Flat Moist bunch of plots, to create a consistent look. It's for button creation.

Edit: Also useful would be a screenshot of the

Unity Foil &
Transport Foil

placed on a 3*3 square of Shelf terrain.

here you go! :goodjob:

throwing my hat into the ring as the gaians:

here you go! :goodjob:

Thanks! Could I also persuade you to make a screenshot of the Flamethrower?

Your Cruiser and Rover screenshots indicate you're playing unpatched, or at least not with the latest patch by the way. What link did you follow to download Planetfall, which ended up in you only downloading the main file?

throwing my hat into the ring as the gaians:

That's the most awesome screenshot posted so far! :goodjob:

Right you are.. I guess I had downloaded awhile ago and not had time to try it out until lately. Well here's a few unit shots from the current patch including Flamethrower.

BTW, the Fury Road mod has a nice resource animation of mutant 2-headed cows that could be a good graphic for Rare Moist DNA ;)

Thanks for the additional screenshots! :D

I guess I can keep pushing my luck: could I bother you to make a screenshot of the Coastal Guard? :mischief:

sure why not :king:

BTW, the graphic for Interceptor seems to have a Unity Foil attached to its wing?

Thannks!

Ye think?

Can't help you with screenies, my graphics card is broken.

Didn't you recently have harddrive problems too??
Remind me what brand of laptop you have. Then I know what never to buy. ;)

Is that an amphibious Interceptor or an airborne Unity Foil? :confused:

It's a drop transport of course!

Actually it's an oversight in the 'water walking' code which has been fixed after that screenshot was posted...

Planetfall v9 has been released (usual download link (http://www.gamingvault.net/index.php?automodule=downloads&req=cat&cmd=viewcat&cat_id=66) - you need both the main file and a patch already), but I don't want to make a big fuss about it without some marketing screenshots of the new unit art. Could someone please read the explanation in this post (http://www.gamingvault.net/index.php?s=&showtopic=11801&view=findpost&p=36117) and make some screenshots? :D

All done, see attachment...

Edit: Attachment removed and partly reuploaded in next post to save space.

Thanks! I'll use them together with the new version announcement. To be useful for button creation purposes though, I'd need those unit shots with the terrain grid turned OFF. (Ctrl-T) I'm sorry I did not specify this.
(And with single unit graphics, but that you already have)

I hate to ask this, but would you be willing to redo them? :-s
More specifically, the Carrier, Behemoth, Mass Driver, Plasma Thrower and Walker.

While examining your sample screenshots, the idea to disable the grid crossed my mind...but when I loaded the save it was gone, I'm just to used to the grid when playing ;)

Here we go again...

Thanks!

Because of your screenshots, I noticed that for some units (such as the cruiser and transport) the incorrect graphics show up if you're playing with animations turned off. It'll require some moving around of files to fix this. For that reason I think I'll upload a new version 10 tomorrow.

Pfeffersack, I have used your screenshots in the announcement of Planetfall version 10. Thanks you!

Didn't you recently have harddrive problems too??
Remind me what brand of laptop you have. Then I know what never to buy. ;)

It's my desktop computer which has troubles. :cry: My old laptop still merrily goes along. :yup:

Here's some shots I took during a game of mine that I thought were nice. I'll let you be the judge though. 1920x1200 and decent quality of graphics.

Thanks! I will use these screenshots in announcements of the next patches.

Would anyone like to make a screenshot of the Drop Trooper for button creation? Same stuff as usual: on pure Flat Moist terrain; terrain grid turned off; single unit graphics.

Drop Trooper on Flat Moist. You didn't specify a format so I picked .png since it's lossless. If you have an idea how much picture you actually need, it'd save space on the uploads.

A square of flat moist terrain around the button is enough. Eg look at the Behemoth button. A somewhat bigger square than on the buttons is preferable (better safe than sorry) but the whole screen is not necessary.

BTW you can use Alt-I to hide the interface completely which I find useful in taking screenshots.

Could someone please make a screenshot of the Cloudbase?

I have attached an archive. Could you please put in your Planetfall folder and unzip it? It contains some files which will make the Cloudbase look sharper. Might make for a better button. (Or not, if the detail is lost again in the resizing, but no harm in trying)

Then load my save, open worldbuilder. In the upper left part of the map I have placed a barbarian cloudbase. Please rotate the camera 45° to the right and take a screenshot. Something like I attached, but with better graphics quality. ;)

No grid, Bitmap, max. zoomed in, rotated 45 degrees to the right...

Thanks! The detail does get lost in the button, but the unresized screenshot will be great for marketing. :)

Would someone be interested in making screenshots of the following, following the guidelines in the first post:

Partisan unit
Bunker unit
Bunker improvement

Additional notes:
Turn the camera 45° to the right
The Partisan is animated: take a screenshot of the Partisan when the guy is looking in the direction of the camera.

Approximate examples of low graphic quality:

I have made them.

Thanks, downloaded! :D

Would you be interested in making a screenshot of the Bunker I unit and the Tidal Harness improvement?

Would you be interested in making a screenshot of the Bunker I unit and the Tidal Harness improvement?
Done, also made a screenshot of the Bunker III, because it lacks a button as well.

Cheers, LT.

Thanks!

In other news I just noticed I forgot to make Bunkers upgradable to their II & III versions...

Remember I can always use interesting gameplay screenshots of a moment you think looks good for marketing purposes!

If anyone could make screenshots of the Rotor and Sea Borehole, that would be great!

If anyone could make screenshots of the Rotor and Sea Borehole, that would be great!Whoops... this posted was a while ago, missed it! Anyway, here you go! :)

(I took the freedom to rotate the camera for the borehole shot for less than 45°, because the struts have the same angle, so it looked a bit silly - if that's not okay, I'll take another one.)

Cheers, LT.

Thanks! :)

Anyone interested in making a screenshot of the Genite unit?

Sorry. I'll be right back with one.

Here you go. 5 shots in .png format. One when he is idle, the rest when fortified.

Maniac, did you download this? I'd like to clear my attachment space...

Thanks, downloaded!

That one is with patch k), showing Santiago's "Garland City" - if you get very close, you see weird graphic effects, because some of the outer city buildings get swallowed by the crater massive, but the panorama view looks nice, I think ;)

Awesome screenshot! Thanks :D

Here is a repoduced and unmodded version of the AI condenser screenshot:

Thanks! :D

Somehow I'm always lucky with AI "landmark bases" in my games :lol:

Hehe, cool. :goodjob:

I didn't turn off grid for this one, still thought it was a cool shot of the dropship.

Thanks!

Here, some Spartan bunkered farms. :D

Part of Yangville.

Awesome! :D That'll give me some good screenies for the next couple patches.

Probably best to use for the patch which makes the expansion factions officially playable for the player...

...some screenshots of my current game...

....some screenshots of my current game. I have changed some things, like unitsizes, new Units and some new buildings...

Wow. You certainly have a knack for taking cool screenshots. :goodjob:

Thanks!!!! :mischief::;):):lol:

One "graphical quibble" that I noticed in shot #2 of post #72- we've got these badass glowing tracks and then... low earth tech stone bridges over the rivers. ;)

That's solvable I think. Link the the railroad bridge instead of the stone bridges, and link to an empty nif for the little mooring poles for those spots where the magtube doesn't cross the river.

A nice land invasion of the Pirates...

Zakharov :(

Thanks!

By the way, a further marketing suggestion: could you please also add the images you post here to your image gallery? That will make them randomly appear on the images you see at the bottom of the main CFC forum page. IIRC there's a 10 MB limit to one's image gallery, so I couldn't possibly add them all myself.

A nice little cesspool for hunters to play.
