The SSRP Loading Screen Competition
It is that time of year again! The Community Team is looking for new loading screens for the SSRP Server! Since we've gotten the new map the old ones are quite outdated!. It has been 2 years since out last one so time for another one!
What sort of background do we want?
We'd like to focus more on what makes the ZARP server great this time around with an in-game screenshot. Ideally the screenshot would include a number of flagship ZARP game materials for example the ZARP map, explosive and special weapons, special player models, familiar in-game items such as printers, drugs etc, large bases. You can use your own creativity though and include whatever you want as long as in meets the requirements section listed below.
What are the requirements for entry?
Because we want a great screenshot to represent our server and gamemode for months to come, there are a number of ground rules for creating your screenshot and entries that don't meet these rules will not qualify.
Minimum resolution of 1920x1080
There must be no text (or text screens), menus or HUDs in the image
The image must be in-game or include a large number of in-game items and materials if you have another idea
Your graphics must be on high settings with anti-alias enabled.
You can edit the image, and use post-processing effects either in Garry's Mod, in Photoshop, Source Film Maker, In-game camera or other software's.
Any Player Models used must also be on the Server.
You must be the original author of the entire image and agree to ZARP Gaming using your image on the loading screen and for other promotions.
What are the prizes?
There will be
3 winners and 3 runner ups. You can only win
1 prize per person, however, you can have
multiple loading screens. The 3 winners will gain prizes along with their background being added to the server, the runner ups will only get their background added!
