KDIZD screens

Hi, please remember to add your earlier uploads (File:KDIZD Z1M1.png, File:KDIZD Z1M2.png, File:KDIZD Z1M6 2.png & File:KDIZD Z1M7 1.png) to the pertaining articles. The same goes for other left-overs like File:DripFeed.png and File:SongsOfTheDamned.png (there may be more, not sure). Thanks. --Xymph (talk) 15:39, 13 September 2021 (CDT)

Hi. I just noticed the message now. In regards to Drip Feed and Songs of the Damned, I only made a screenshot at end of level and it was also in the wrong aspect ratio (I set up 5:4 instead of 4:3, these days I only play on 4:3 aspect ratio) in PrBoom+, set by mistake at that time because I ended up mixing up the two aspect ratio without noticing anything significant on my monitor and the screenshot doesn't seem as right as other screenshots I took later with the correct aspect ratio, which meant even after fixing the aspect ratio in Paint (which is what I do to screenshots taken in Crispy Doom and PrBoom+, which are taken at desktop's resolution), the status bar seemed a bit smaller or squashed than usual or at least that's the impression I got. Since I no longer have the saved games for these wads, I may retake the screenshots with no monsters mode for the whole level rather than just an automap screenshot. In the meantime, these two screenshots can get deleted, I no longer care about them.
In regards to the old KDIZD screenshots I uploaded long time ago, I realized there were already screenshots uploaded (such as the start of Z1M2) by other people and I found it unnecessary to upload mine, especially since I didn't take many screenshots of the early maps and it looked a bit weird alongside the other screenshots. I intend one day (when I get to replay KDIZD, DTWID and other wads where I only took few screenshots from some levels) to take more screenshots and add them on the missing articles. In case of KDIZD, hopefully I will be allowed to replace the screenshots, considering they aren't having the correct aspect ratio or at least that's what I noticed in other people's screenshots. I also intend to replace the IWADS screenshots (which are taken in ZDoom/GZDoom) with some vanilla screenshots in vanilla executable (in DOSBox) or Chocolate Doom or something like that. Hopefully the people behind those screenshots won't mind. I plan to do the same to many old popular megawads, I just haven't had the necessary time to do that. Some maps articles absolutely need to have screenshots added.
I also have a lot of non-uploaded screenshots that I made a while back while participating for DW megawad club but I didn't get to upload them since the wad in question doesn't have a page created. I am talking about many recent Doom 2 megawads, such as Bourgeois Deathmatch, in which case I have over 150 screenshots (made in Chocolate Doom) for that wad in question and I wasn't sure if to wait until someone creates the page or I offer to create the wad's page, like I did for a few Ultimate Doom megawads. I was thinking at the moment that it would be pointless to upload so many screenshots and not have a place to show them. I could always try and create the wad's page myself, I will try in the following days when I get more free time.
Thanks and have a nice day! FistMarine (talk) 05:21, 12 October 2021 (CDT)
