Illustrations

Hi - I'd enjoy takin' croppin' and uploadin' screenshots to illustrate some of the places pages, and maybe some of the monster pages if they're not already illustrated. Are my 'services' welcome? If so, what style rules should I obey? Thanks.

Forgot to mention- I'm talking about Morrowind. --3DS Mike

Well, pretty much all you need to know is covered on Help:Images. Just in general, try and make sure the shots are well-lit - that's the biggest problem a lot of people have with screenshots. Just because it looks okay in-game doesn't mean it will look good on the site. The use of Light/Night-Eye spells will help, in addition to raising the gamma settings. You can also adjust the levels in Photoshop or equivalent after the fact. Anyhow, if you have any more specific questions, let me know. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 09:26, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

That new {{User Artist}} Userbox is a great idea. I have to confess the choice of graphic actually made me laugh out loud! :-) Now displayed with pride. Rpeh 15:26, 9 June 2007 (EDT)

Maps

I noticed that you uploaded alot of the maps of Oblivion's Places and I want to know if you uploaded the maps (such as

this

) or you found them on a site. Because I was wondering what all of the colored boxes and lines meant, if anything. Thanks Joh777nny 10:21, 13 June 2007 (EDT)

These maps were exported directly from the Construction Set that comes with the game. The colored lines are markers for various purposes. (e.g. trap triggers, NPC travel destinations, etc.) In some cases I edited them out, but given the number of maps there were, this was not practical to do except in the most extreme cases. The other problem with these maps is that they are not always oriented correctly, so north isn't necessarily up. Nephele and others are working to provide better quality maps, screen-grabbed from the game, but it's a slow and labor-intensive process. Meanwhile, my low-quality maps exported from the editor are better than nothing, which is what there was before. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 18:41, 13 June 2007 (EDT)

Ok, thanks for the information. Joh777nny 11:52, 14 June 2007 (EDT)

New Template

Hey, will you look at Nepheles talk page and tell me how to shrink my template please?

You're right

Done a quick check and... guess it shows that it's been too long since my last playthrough of Morrowind. Either that or senility kicking in. Hopefully the former ;) Sorry for the trouble. --202.7.166.174 22:08, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

Thanks

Thanks for the advise. Here is my latest picture using Night-Eye. Image:MW-NPCs-Ralen Hlaalo.jpg--MorrowindNub 03:36, 25 June 2007 (EDT)

Still a bit dark, here, I'll fix it up for you just to show you what I mean. Take a look now. (Same place) --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 23:09, 25 June 2007 (EDT)
