Vice City Media Overhaul Project - Now Beginning!

</nav><h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Introduction">Introduction</span></h2> <p>Thanks to the marvelous work done by Xalbador and other users, Vice City has grown to become a mammoth of myth hunting, with about 400 pages on this wiki: even outpacing San Andreas, the game credited with kick starting myths. </p><p>However, even with all this great content, Xalbador's poor PC has left the wiki in a dire situation. Many of the photos and videos on VC pages are unprofessional. Photos are taken at 640x480 resolution with the HUD still on and a visible crosshair. Videos are plauged with low framerates... with all this in mind that's why I started the Vice City Media Overhaul project. </p><p>This is an absolutely behemoth task and I can not do it alone. Even with a large team of contributors, I think that making high quality remakes of over 400 images and videos may still take a large time to complete such a feat. But I know that if us Wikians work together, we can overcome this. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="How_It_Works">How It Works</span></h2> <p>The way I intend to lead this project will be hard to explain. Once the sign up process is complete, I will create a sub page on my userpage listing all VC myths in order as they appear on the navbox. From here, all the myths will be divided among the participants in an even number. For example, if 5 people sign up for this project, that's about 380 / 5, in that scenario is about 70 pages that each user is responsible for adding images for. For example, User 1 will get pages A thru D, User 2 pages E thru H, and so on. I think this is also an incentive to have more users sign on, as it will help the work load as we can "multi task" and have many images uploaded at once. When a user has uploaded one or more of their photos, they can head to that page and cross off the pages they have fixed, essentially acting like a to-do list as well. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Requirements">Requirements</span></h2> <p>Because this project is a collection of multiple users, the people who organized this project (Myself and Indep, with some help from Slash) have decided on a few small guidelines to ensure standardization in these new images. </p>

Location and angle must match original photo as close as possible, but you don't need to worry about other variables such as time.
HUD and Radar must be disabled for a clear photo.
Please use the first person mode of the Rocket Launcher when taking photos.
The resolution of these photos should be 1024 by 768. Larger photos are allowed if the possibility is open to you.
When uploading your image to the wiki, please use the PageName-GTAVC.png format. For example, Downtown-GTAVC.png.

<p>These guidelines are very simple and will help with standardization. If you make a mistake don't worry about it, just re-do it later or delegate it to somebody else. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Participants">Participants</span></h2>
