you know how when you install the ra2 game and it ask you to install a patch before can play on xwis server, can this be applied the same way.
so its not an option but a requirement

and like seke said
If the program that did this could be used to either
1. work at the instant request of another player (w/ ofc limitations)
2. randomly generate ss's in any ranked game.

only then would I really vote for it, cause then it would actually have a huge impact on cheaters and the integrity of others.

that be great

Oh, I get the integrity part now.....That's the positive vs the negative of the cheaters. I was confused earlier.

What limitations are you guys referring to?

If it's a program to generate a screen shot. That's what it'd do. What limitations would it need?

He stole my nub trolling move .... kinda ... I like to make 10 + warf and rally kirovs in a straight line with insta build across the map to their base and wait until they quit from mere fear.

I expect you take SS's to xwis by typing /dpl ???? Or is it taken by the ss shortcut.

if the program could be activated by another player to generate a screenshot of another's screen then it would have to have limitations.

Ctrl-C...

Taking a screenshot of your opponent's screen is not possible. Yet. Maybe.

this is badass man, You could make it a requirement after 700 pts to run this. Then there wouldn't be any problems but I like that one idea of the "patch" but I doubt that can be done.

my fault that's what I thought we were discussing.

Having an auto uploaded screen shot is fine. I'm positive thatit won't do anything as far as stopping any kind of cheating, if anything, they'll auto upload reshrouded picks.

You need to get the opponents one working, otherwise, it's only a step above screen grab. Perhaps if Admin Screenshot requests were again active......and I mean truly active, not just for players ranked in the top 10, then it would be a big help for an auto posting of the request. But more than likely, the player would still have to save and upload the photo from xwis to strike team, so that the verifier wouldn't become overwhelmed with the workload.

If admin screenshots were again active, then I'm favor
If you can get the opponents ss figured out i'm REALLY in favor
if it's a glorified screen grab, I don't care.

Can the thumbnails be slightly smaller so they load faster? :p
Also how about a link to the downloads section on the top right??

A downloads page (and a link to it) is a good idea.

It looks like a brilliantly cool aspect. However, to me it is only superficial. If it could be tweaked to prevent cheating in a way that was suggested by one of my previous posts then I would support it fully.

100-150px would be better IMO. The current thumbnails range about 40-50 KB, you could probably knock that in half by going JPEG with a bit lower quality.
Excellent work btw

Edit:
Your image http://xwis.net/ra2/games/31719/?s=4 is sitting at 46.0 KB
I've compressed it 5.19 KB using the method above. JPEG Version

That's tiny. There's enough space available on that page.

It is a good feature but as someone has already suggested why not randomly generate ss from both players to help reduce cheating?

Because the other player might not be running this patch.

Even if you only make it optional it would still help a great deal.
