My Golf isn't coming through

Rigga · Post by **Rigga** » 09 Jun 2005, 20:26

Why isn't my Golf being accepted into the showroom? The width of the car is more than 50% of the image....

Andre_online · Post by **Andre_online** » 09 Jun 2005, 20:32

Probably because of the whole concept.. The picture isn't related to NFSU2 at all as your picture has no attributes of NFSU2... I'm sorrry if my explanation isn't clear.

Rigga · Post by **Rigga** » 09 Jun 2005, 20:38

Uh, the golf is a car made in NFSU2, did I make it too realistic?

The problem is, it doesn't look like it's made from NFSU2, that's why it's rejected. Have you read the entry rules?

Rigga · Post by **Rigga** » 09 Jun 2005, 20:48

yeah, I read the entry rules, and it's totally fine

1. Real life photo background
2. Cars is not +50% of pic width

Rigga · Post by **Rigga** » 09 Jun 2005, 21:04

Image rules
The image you submit must be a JPG compressed image with size of everything between 800x600 and 1280x960 as long as the width and height are in 4:3 ratio. Most used image sizes that will be accepted are 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x960.

check

Image *must* be taken in the game Need for Speed Underground 2. It must show the car you are submitting.

check

The car you are submitting must take at least 50% of the width of the image. This means that images where car is too small will not be accepted.

check

Light image editing is allowed (brightness and contrast improveement) as long as it doesn't change the overall appearance of the car.

check

I still don't see the problem

This is a high possibility. This says everything, and that's why it got rejected.

korge · Post by **korge** » 09 Jun 2005, 21:15

Hes still talking to the wrong ppl. We cant help him. Only he can help him self.

Rigga. Listen. PM Bojan or some other Admin. Tell them your Showroom problem. If you dont want to listen to me, Get rid of the crappy background and turn in a normal Garage screenshot of your Golf in UG2.

Rigga · Post by **Rigga** » 09 Jun 2005, 21:16

I already PM'd bojan, don't worry, I listened to you, and uh, what's so crappy about the background?

Andre_online · Post by **Andre_online** » 09 Jun 2005, 21:19

The background is not crappy, it's great actually. But it's just that you need to leave some NFSU2 attributes in your screenshot as well, because that screenshot might confuse people who don't know this game with another street racing game...

Rigga · Post by **Rigga** » 09 Jun 2005, 21:21

none of my cars have a NFS background and they were all accepted immedeately, but this is my first with a real background and I'm quite satisfied with how the whole thing looks, especially with that poem included. I was just feeling creative

And people that don't know this gmae should be here

Well it wouldn't be the first car in the showroom with RL photo background.
If this is the reason, I think the mods should have talk about how they apply the rules, coz they seem to vary a lot.

IMO there's nothing wrong with that presentation.

Post by **TheStig** » 10 Jun 2005, 23:25

expect the background to be the problem.

and to be honest it differ with every mods how they read the rules them selfs

I don't accept any cars anymore... I quit doing that cause 99% of the members are seeking the edges of the rules to see how far they can go to stay within the limits but still customize it as much as possible...

IMO they whole editing is going WAY to far!

Post by **Morty** » 11 Jun 2005, 01:13

Yeah, the background was the reason I didn't accept it, but I see someone has...

I agree. I hope there will be some much stricter rules for the next Showroom, closer to the layout rules in the latest SR Challenges...

*Points finger to Morty.

@Rigga. Its his fault. Hes the one. Him, him, him.

Post by **Morty** » 11 Jun 2005, 01:32

Hmmz... What finger? *Looks at deactivation button*

Nah, Rigga isn't the only one to blame... There's too many PS people out there...

Maybe people should be allowed to go all out on presentation with their cars in the next showrooms with idea of removing the ranking, that way it won't be unfair. But give a very strict layout design for the challenges. Maybe give the option whether you want the car to be available for duels, if yes then you have to have the proper layout enforced by the rules, if you select no, then you can do "almost" whatever you want with the pressy...

Post by **Morty** » 11 Jun 2005, 02:24

Not quite how I feel it...
With or without rankings (and voting), I want the screenshots to be clean.
One way could be 2 showrooms, one with focus on the cars, and one for presentations, but I don't really think that will come (lot of cars in the game). So instead, fancy presentations go on the forum, while cars go to the showroom...

to many to mention actually. i had my share of ps editing before and the reason is that my gfx was so crapy i need to create nice layouts so people will check my rides, but now i think its way to much... i already stop making ps layouts coz i got tired of it.

ps edited cars like extreme contrast and ps layouts should be ban on duels nowadays...

coz its getting worst. i saw lots of people winning coz of their ps presentation advantage.

Post by **TheStig** » 11 Jun 2005, 07:41

I agree with morty, IMO we should have a showroom that is more strick like the later challenges (althought I don't know the rules of the latest

but I know I made them strickter after each challenges before GT took over...)

but I know it will be a big stress on the mods that check the cars, cause the amouth of people that will challenge the rules will be big.
