Hexen on modDB

Ey gang. I'm working along with BigBird (moddb's admin, I used to be an admin there, long story) to try to get Hexen in the games listing. I've already put up 9 games there, such as Call of Duty, Wolf3d, ROTT, Heretic, Heretic II and Hexen II. One freaking problem though. There seems to be a great lack of Hexen screenshots at 640x480x8 in GIF, and I mean the original Hexen95 port. Hexen95 seems to be WAY unstable and leaves my computer at 486dx2 66 speed (well the slow pageflipping is annoying). I did try a screencapture, but it all comes up as black. Windowed or not. I've looked on sites with hexen shots, but they focus on the eye candy of their own engine rather than the actual presentation of the game. And if it's a jpeg i see, it'd be artifacted like hell since it's a dark game. So all I need right now is 2 640x480x8 Hexen95 shots showing off some action, one of them must contain a clearly visible afrit (sorry, i'm that demanding). I hope I'm not asking for too much, but once it's added, these mods here could get onto moddb <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> Thanks!

I tend to save screenshots at a .PCX and they turn out fine. As for the "eye candy," I'm not too sure what you mean. Are you trying to say that the photographers are more keen on getting a shot that shows the power of the game engine, rather than the gameplay or the action? Either way, you can always ask Raven or Id Software for permission to use their screenshots, they're really good.

Well looking at an open door isn't exactly exhilirating <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P --> I'm not even sure if Raven or id has some hi-res shots of the game...

What I'd suggest you is to start up Vavoom in 640x480 software rendering, it looks very similar to what Hexen95 would be. You can also switch off dynamic lightning etc. to make it look even more like the original. And in Vavoom it's easy to make screenshots, you just press PrintScreen any time and after you quite you find the PCX files in your base/hexen subdir of your Vavoom dir.

I got some shots on, used Zdoom. Now, go register and submit yourselves there <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->
