Monaster's Maps (MM) - now with thumbnails!

[monaster]

Also there's no restriction to any kind of feedback, suggestions and so on. The only map I'd rather not change because of the game it is based on, is RCPD, all the others are open to changes or something like "looks good/bad...".

Greets to Bliccer!
what did you build this thing after? Since it looks SO much like the bridge on doombrain's photo... coincidence or is it exactly the same one?

I took a photo by myself as reference. I shot it in Niagara Falls, since I loved how the whole tunel looked like.

BTW: I think there will be more viewers here if you directlink your screenshots like I just did. It's getting on the nreves, scrolling down, and suddenly the scrollbar jumps back, because a new image just loaded; or just resize them to something like 512 or 460.

Thanks for the tipps! I already considered making thumbnails of the older screenshots, since scaling them down any further would make most of them too small to see all the details, but at the same time I didn't want dozens of links that require opening dozens of new browser tabs or going back to this forum site again and again to get the new links (this thread should provide something like a gallery or the like). But yeah, it is annoying to wait for every picture to load before that site-jumping stops. Gonna fix that in the near future.

Finally!
I'm swapping all these screenshots lots of people have been mentioned to be too big for their internet modem connection and makes this page "jump" all the time until it is completely loaded. In a few minutes everything will be replaced with thumbnails so noone will ever have any problems again (and probably find time to post some feedback on a few screenshots here).
At the moment these images are linked to the thumbnails and not the original screenshots, I'll try to find a way around that. For now, try changing the last part of an img's url (TN_***.jpg) by deleting the TN_ and you should see the original sized pictures (the very first ones have to get an JPG extension, too, they will not work with jpg). *problem solved see EDIT2*
Now this thread should be much more appealing (in a few minutes).

EDIT: Got it done. And remember: your internet's always taking a timeout if you promise to change something "within a few minutes".
@ obsidian and Bliccer: mind if you link to the thumbnails in your quotas? That would be great
I'll make one screenshot per map a bigger one to have something that represents most adequately a project's style or to inform about the latest changes. That makes 5-7 "normal" screenshots and should be tolerable.

EDIT2: Every picture now links to the "real" screenshot, I am a fucking genius! (Considering the day, I've slept the last time, and thus my amount of concentration)

Linking thumbnails instead of fullsize screenies was definitely worth the effort imo. So much better without the jumping.

Thanks, I'm glad it worked out nicely for you (and most likely for others too, then), dichtfux!

[Anthem]

Yes, thank you very much. I enjoy viewing screenshots as much as the next person, but when it takes 9 years to load it is slightly difficult.

Update to Babylon:

New building: Temple with a knee-deep water pool, these poor Babylonians do need someone to worship after all.

Migration to a new webhost completed, I've re-uploaded all the images and thumbnails, too, in case anyone tried to load them during the last few days.
