Monster pics
Good job uploading these! --◄mendel► 13:33, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I happened to have some characters that were in the right place. I've been trying to get some shots of those buggers in Slavers' Exile, but they are so elusive. Bikeboy854 14:20, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Dervish armor
While the new pictures you uploaded are better than the previous, they still do not conform to the highest standard that we like to see in armor galleries before we call them "complete." Please see Dervish_Elite_Sunspear_armor/Male for a better example if you wish to make better armor galleries in the future. The screenshots were taken on the Northern beach of the Isle of the Nameless. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. RoseOfKali 21:09, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Could you check off the armor galleries you've updated on our giant checklist of doom? And you can also see which other galleries need help. Thanks a bunch for the ones you've already done! &mdash;Dr Ishmael 14:54, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * One last thing I will ask of you: When you take the screenshots, make sure your Anti-Aliasing (Graphics setting) is on 4X, which is max (but keep post-process effects OFF). You can really see the problem in Image:Winged Raiment F dyed front.jpg - a maxed 4X setting will smooth out the jagged edges.  Also, when you are taking female screenshots, make sure you center the camera on the armor itself, since females twist their bodies, and zoom in as much as you can.  Look at Necromancer Deldrimor armor for example.  If you stand a little further from the water, the sand is flatter, and you can move your camera closer to the character (mouse right-click and move towards the character until the feet are at the very bottom of the screen - that makes a closer, bigger shot).  This way, you are also looking at the character at more of an eye-level, instead of from above.  And, of course, use full screen if you haven't before.  Thanks for all your work!

Thanks for the advice. I had the post processes off but I will have to check on the Anti-aliasing. I was wondering why I couldn't get zoomed in more so that I was not looking down on the characters. Are there any pictures that I should do over? As for the checklist of doom, I updated the galleries except for the two monk galleries that I did. My character is not bald so I can not show the head tattoos properly. The ones I did are Monk_Sacred_armor/Male and Monk_Ascalon_armor/Male, although neither has an empty slot for the headshot. I'll work on getting the better angles and should make some better pics with a little more practice. At a quick glance I think I can get about 4 or 5 more galleries completed with out too much difficulty.Bikeboy854 04:48, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * A few things. The monk galleries you did do not have specific headgear to those sets (i.e. Sacred headgear), so it's not needed at all.  Also, if you have a spare character slot (like a PvP one), you can create a bald monk and use dye preview on the existing headgear in your storage - any character can preview armor customized to someone else (one piece at a time, of course), as long as the profession matches, and you can even use both sexes, male or female.  Unfortunately, you won't be able to get a "top" view in the dye preview window, but "front," "back," and "side" should do just fine.  This way, you can complete other monk headgears, if you have any that are missing, use a gray dye and one that hopefully matches the rest of the gallery for colored.
 * The screenshots with really bad anti-aliasig and character zoom/rotation problems are the Paragon Deldrimor armor/Female and the subpages, I don't think any of the others you did need reshooting. Thanks and good luck.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 17:50, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, please stop marking Female Paragon Deldrimor as Yes in the armor project until these images are corrected: Paragon_Deldrimor_armor. They are not acceptable at this time because of the background.  The subpages can be considered done, but not the full gallery.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 17:58, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Looks like you still have Anti-Aliasing turned off. Make sure you are in Full Screen, then hit F11 and open Graphics option, Anti-Aliasing should be 4X.  These settings may differ depending on whether you are in full screen or windowed mode.  Also, right-click on you computer's desktop and look at Properties of you graphics settings, your resolution should be set to the maximum allowed.  I don't remember exactly, but you may also be able to change the full-screen resolution inside the GW graphics settings, make sure that's maxed also.  Other than that, I don't know what the problem would be.  Right now I'm in Vegas for a week, so may be a while before I reply to questions, but I'll do my best to keep an eye on this.
