Hey guys! I know I'm a bit of a one-post wonder, but I've been working with Demonspork on web-based stuff. My current task? Overhauling the entire website!
Now, since Demonspork first set up the server & site, he's had photo gallery page with one slight problem: it has no damn photos! "What gives?" you ask, "Why are there no photos in this photo gallery?" WELL I'LL TELL YOU! It's because you're all LAZY BASTARDS!
Here's my plan. See, as you most likely know, we have this very nifty Overviewer Map. Not only does it show who's online, where they are, and what their skin is, but it also has the lovely function to mark Points of Interest with signs. But, the Overviewer doesn't quite capture everything that makes a Point of Interest, well, interesting. Especially if it's underground.
Solution: Incorporate the Points of Interest signpost system with the photo gallery, so when you click on them you can see screenshots of the area!
Yeah, it's doable, although it hasn't been attempted yet. Hopefully it will take less than a week.
SO, THAT GIVES YOU ONE WEEK TO START ACCUMULATING PHOTOS OF YOUR FAVORITE LOCATIONS AND VALUED CREATIONS.
Post them here in this thread, and specify which Point of Interest they correlate to. If possible, name your shots in the format [POI]_[thing].jpg (or png, etc.) For example: Vennora_CapitolBuilding.jpg. This will make it easier to sort all of the files, so whenever a user clicks the @Vennora sign it will load all of the pictures whose name starts with "Vennora."
For the "tl;dr" crowd around here: GO TAKE SCREENSHOTS OF STUFF GOGO
To start us off: some of my own screenshots: http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/3926043/1...d?h=303c16
