<div class="IPBDescription">Want to help?</div> Hello there everybody!
I've been shackled.. uh. I mean.. entrusted with bringing you the 3.0 bx manual. Work is about 65% done. However, I need the NS community's help!
I need about 5 or so screenshots to put in the intro, as well as the Classic and Combat explanations. If your screenshot is chosen, you'll get credit in the manual and live on in posterity (or until another manual is made).
Here are the shots I need:
Alien
in Combat
in Classic
Marine
in Combat
in Classic
Commander mode looking at structures and marines.
Make the shots really show off the mod, great action shots are what we are after. With that in mind please remember the following.
-default models/skins/sprites/etc.
-default maps.
-no server csays and custom messages please.

Can you elaborate this further? Like taking a screenshot when you're about to ambush someone with silence / cloaking? Etc?
The aliens have 5 classes: the Skulk, Gorge, Lerk, Fade and Onos.
The skulk is the basic alien lifeform. It is small, fast and depends on ambushing to take down enemies. You will always spawn as a skulk.
[Insert the other lifeforms here]
Hives are vital structures for an alien vistory. In classis, aliens can build a maximum of three hives. Each hive costs 40 resources and takes some time to grow. Only one hive may be 'grown' at a time. Each hive provides several benifits to the alien team, including more effective armor, new abilities for each class, a fater respawn, and most importantly access to a new chamber.

Is that what you were thinking for the desriptions?
This one's nice, just have to shop the server message out.

A nice one of jetpackers in a group. [Edit: The screenshot is from Siege, a non-default map.]
I really love this one.

And the last one. This shows one of my favorite memories in NS. I was commanding, and my marines were heading to Data Core. An Onos attacked base while they were going and they didn't have enough time to get back. So I quickly decided we needed to relocate, and what better location than right inside their hive? We didn't even siege, just had lots of turrets. We won.

Another, showing the commander view.

This one, with only minor touchups needed (to remove the obscenity and RT count), it could be a great shot.

What's needed are actual ingame shots, no customer Xhairs, no modifications.
Well, that's a spectator view, so it wasn't me hitting that skulk. My in-game name is "Joshua Nighthawk" (look at my nade kills in the top right) and I just happened to take the shot at the right time. I really love the picture. I got it as the shell ejected and the lighting makes an awesome effect.
I did send you a PM with a couple of pictures reference. Don't forget to look at the upper screen and see the "You have 1 new message" <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

-minimap
-marine hud with MT on
-marine hud with WP
-alien hud with SOF, hive site to gorge and other aliens
-alien hud with aliens under attack

I.E. Can I hop on a listenserver or whatever and take shots of minimaps and the like (Maybe not the SoF or gorgies on hive sight) without anyone being there?
if you want to use any of them give me a shout in this thread/on irc (#LM).
EDIT: uh, attached the wrong thing :/

The mini-map shot should have aliens and marines (aliens looking at marines, and marines showing up, or vice versa).
No plug-ins on that one :o
