I found out why the screenshots look so nasty. The game automatically compressed the images like he said. If you take a look at this one http://www.halflife2.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=8603 you can see that it was 800x600 and compressed. Just read the text in the console... it has it all right there. There must be a way to make it full quality however because I know a bunch of other shots are. Thank you for taking the time to post all the pics!

 

[vertthrasher]

Yeah just use printscreen sysrq.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

I'm sure there is a quality control setting... I mean it's set to 50% quality!!!!!!! I would much rather have a meg picture Srry 56k'ers

 

[Jamebond]

These are some good pictures of CS:S Thanks... I think that this looks awesome. I wanna play it sooo bad!!!! Gotta wait till the 18th though :angry:

 

[hasan]

hmm .. yeah thanks for pointing that out Frost. I didn't pay attention.

I think I will go again tomorrow .. might take a few more screens if you guys want .. with good quality (if I could figure out how to do it)

I am just wondering why your rate is so low. (2500) Have you tried raising it to see if it improves the lag you talked about?

 

[ItchyFish]

Hasan, if you do go again anything would be great appreciated, but if you do just do say like 5 High res shots done with the print screen button, i would rather 1 really nice pic of the place some guns and some enemies in high res than 10 in low. Thanks any way though.

I have some questions about the game tho, before i got to my nearest CC, how many people are playing? do the physics affect the way grenades are thrown/react? and finally ( would ask more but you have already answered loads for other people) in game, when someone buy armor, do you see the armor on that person? and if they buy the big armor with helmet, is a helmet added to there model, same for gun if a guy has an awp and is on a knife, is the awp strapped to his back, so u can c it?

Thanks iF.

Good qustions IF. I'd like to see some difference in the models depending on the armour the player bought and also some actual locations on the models where the unused weapons are kept so you can see what pistol an enemy has if they are using thier main weapon and vice versa. Also what grenades they are carrying.

 

[Gunner]

Excellent pics, thanks Hasan.

I think there is a difference in the models when grenades are bought, looking for the pics now...

found.

bloke w/o grenades
other dead bloke w/o grenades
guy with grenades on waist(smoke and flashbang)?

looks pretty conclusive as the model is the same one :E

 

[3d Animator]

I checked 3 times all pics and looks like everyone is wearing armor
so unless on every screen shot the players had enough cash to buy armor
I would especulate that the models look the same, with or without helmet and armor
wich is a bit sad

and I could not se an M4 rifle without silencer from a 3rd person view, thats another
thing I would like to find... meaning that when the silencer is not in use u can tell from a 3rd person view...

nice colection of screen shots by the way! good job, thanks

 

[ItchyFish]

Nice one ne-waller, thing we (you ) gotta find is weather ts the same for pistols, main weaps and body armor

 

[estling]

pretty nice on the deagle.. i bet you could se someone walking behing you, since the deagle reflects

scary detail ;IO

 

[ne-waller]

i've had a good look I dont think there are many shots close up on people's models so its hard to tell + everybody buys armor anyway.

if anyone can post shots of closeups it would be great...

holsters and armor, do they change?

If you mean how many people in the cyber .. well ..
The cafe I went to was empty .. it's like nobody else in Calgary cares about CS:S :/ which is a good thing in a way, because I don't have to wait for a slot .. for somebody to leave so I can sit in his place. but It's bad in other ways, cuz CS:S wasn't preloaded!!!!
So unless today I use the same computer, I'm gonna have to preload it again -- which takes/wastes an hour.
If oyumean how many people playing on the net ... well in the first 10 mins there was about 5 servers ..
after an hour has passed, there were like .. I dunno 40 servers or something
all about 70% full of players. (i.e. 20/22, 16/20, 31/32 .. etc) some ofcourse were 100% full.

Yes, when you throw a grenade, the objects around it fly away realisticly.

I didn't pay close attention to the armour on the model, but I didn't notice any difference in models.

as for the guns, well .. again I didn't pay attention :/

PseudoKnight: hmm I don't really know why my rate was low .. I didn't mess with the settings, I just wnated to play the dam gme asap.

neway, next time (IF and only IF I go) I'll try to mess with some settings first, and find a way for quality screen shots.
I said IF because well, I do want to go, but you never know what happens.

btw you can post some requests for screens but I don't guarantee that I will take them.
Just post them so I know what kinda screens people want. I will tke them if I remember them and if I see a chance.

 

[ne-waller]

I would like to see if you can see different pistols in their holsters, if they do change take 2 shots for comparison.

some pretty pictures of the effect of grenades on cars/vans, faces etc

gunshot wounds?
smashed wood?
does lipsynching work yet? - no pic needed just curious
some flying corpse shots, awp/ shotgun over walls
any physics shots - seesaws, hitting grenades at small stuff
..does it feel like im saying take pictures of everything... i want to see stuff I havent already - no more pictures of the deagle shooting at a blank wall
maybe the shotgun though...

if you are on your own you probably might have difficulty with some of these
dont feel any obligation, im just interested.

I want a screen when your in a firefight with someone , even if this means commiting suicide to take the screen . And ne of the AWP scope.


Thats another thing, is the AWP any different as to when it is in 1.6? In anyway?
