I broke the image gallery Thread

Moddb.com

All manner of wierdness, whenever I reload the page. I get the feeling it doesn't like 5000x resolution screenshots

ahahah lol good job

On the bright side, its a nice picture.

They're all nice pictures. I uploaded a whole packet of some of the best screenshots the community has taken. Who says UT3 isn't the best looking game out there ?

Typical, it had to be you didn't it?

I think it's caused by the images being too big for the thumbnailer to properly interpret, so instead of saving a resized version it basically saves a duplicate, size and all. I don't know how you managed it to be honest, I thought it stopped you from uploading images which are too big memory-wise anyway.

Scott!

The only limit is 2Mb. This was a 1Mb Jpg, so I could probably have doubled the resolution even further - it might be prudent to put in place a resolution cap.

You couldn't directly double it. Resolution to area is a geometric relationship, 2x resolution = 4x area. Not to mention that JPEG compression efficiency isn't linear either...

But yeah, we'll have a look and a prod.

That's doubling the dimensions, not the resolution.

Nah, doubling the resolution is effectively the same as doubling the dimensions. If you double the resolution of a sample whilst keeping the aspect ratio, the size of each sample area reduces to 50% along each axis, giving twice as many sample areas along each axis, or 4x as many sample areas.

Pixel resolution != image resolution. In fact pixel resolution isn't a proper measurement of anything; it does not take into account compression and visual clarity of the image.

Edit: In case you haven't noticed yet, I'm being argumentative for the sake of it. It's a slow day :p

This happens occasionally - very frustrating as i dont yet know the cause. i'll investigate for you

I fixed the image gallery. We now support stupidly large images

I would like to notice that everything is fine for me.

Or Scott has fixed it already.

Hooray! Stupidly large images ftw.

Pretty pictures by the way.

Ooooh, now I can view them all properly.... gorgeous images!

UT3 looks purdy (but we knew that already)

Ohmy. I had no idea UT3 looked so pretty.

I kind of want to get it now.

Pretty sure I wouldn't play it, though. I really ought to spend more time enjoying the visual appeal of these maps...

I'm thinking of getting this one printed up at around 5-6' for my wall...

So you like UT3 a little bit, do you?

To be fair, it's not brilliant - but it is the only game I've been playing consistantly for a few months (I'm also playing DarkStar One and Company of Heroes a bit too at the moment).

I want a monitor that can display something that big.

And maybe in five to ten years time, you'll actually be able to run current games at that resolution too!

I run UT3 at max on 1440x900.. ;_;

I normally run at 1900x1200, because that's my native display res. You can use console command tricks to take uber screenshots at higher resolutions, such as using tiledshot 8 (but be warned, they take a long time and eat up as much as a gig of space).
