  • If your image streches the forum, please use thumbnails or link instead.

  • More than 1 player may participate in the creation of an entry, however only 1 person may submit it and collect the participation/reward prize for it, that person is then responsible for prize distribution or any other deal agreed to by the players involved.


  • Rewards

    Participation Prize: For submitting at least 1 worthy* entry a player will be rewarded once with the following:

    *To be considered a worthy an entry should look like at least more than 30 minutes was spent on it, we reserve the right to refuse entries deemed too "cheap" (avoid stick figures and such :P).
  • 1 Damp Card Album
  • 1 Jewelry Box
  • 1 Crown of King (Right), or Crown of Queen (Left):

    Upper Headgear, Weight 30, Required Level 50, All Jobs
    Refinable, tradable, sellable and each can be equipped by both genders.

    In the case of card art or loading screen, If your submission is added to the server, you will obtain the prizes above, plus 1 Old Card Album.


    There may be Special Mention prizes if the GM Team sees a need for it.

    Prize for winning entries: Winners will get their participation prize, their choice of a headgear shown below, plus their choice of rewards from the list below the headgears.

    Multiple winners can pick the same prize. There will be anywhere between 5 and 20 winning entries.

All hats take the upper slot. The first three rows of headgears have links to RMS to list their effects. The stat bonus remains, the stat requirement has been lowered to 99, and their defense is 3. The headgears on the fourth and fifth rows have no effect, but will have some added sometime in the future. All headgears are subject to change in effects.

  • Choice 6: Choice of 3x of any hatter headgear, excluding slotted mids. Note: The same item cannot be chosen more than once.

  • Tools

  • photobucket (to host images for free without resizing, needs registration)
  • GIMP (for image editing)
  • Paint.net (for image editing)
  • Audacity (for editing sound for your video, if needed)
  • GRF Factory (to unpack a GRF to find existing sprites)
  • unbollox (to convert Unicode filenames to ASCII of an extracted GRF)
  • heRO Logo
  • actOR2 (to create .act files)
  • SPR Conview (to convert bmp to spr files and vice versa)
  • UnBollox (it converts unicode to/from ascii)




  • Questions
    Ask and we shall answer!
  • Do we need to test the headgear on our own server?
    Answer: You don't have to! You can rename the sprite and move it into your data folder, to see it in game. Only you will see the change by doing this.

  • Do Armors count for the Sprite making category?
    Answer: No, they do not. Since it isn't a visible sprite. We're looking for Upper, Mid and Lower headgears that are seen when equipped. Wings however, take lower slot, so those would count.

  • Will we get cards for all the monsters in the card list?
    Answer: Only the ones that have card images by the end of the contest. :P

  • How many prizes can one win?
    Answer: For submitting a worthy entry, you will get a participation prize. If you win on any category, you'll get another set of prizes, and in the case of card art, if your submission is selected to be added to the server, you'll also get an old card album.

  • I'm not great at digital drawings, can I do them by hand?
    Answer: Yes! Just make sure it's scanned properly (high resolution) and has a clean look (not blurry, grainy, etc).

  • What happened to 2013's screenshot contest?
    Answer: The winners were never chosen for several different reasons, unfortunately. I (Ciar) was not a GM by then and don't know the full details. However, if someone participated in that contest and would like some sort of compensation, please send a support ticket with proof of participation to receive this year's participation prize, plus one of the fourth or fifth row of headgears from the winner's prizes.

Disclaimers:
By posting your entry, you implicitly agree to the following:

Submitted entries can be used by the GM Team for the server in any way shape or form, in or outside the game.
The GM Team reserves the right to adjust prizes as they see fit for balance purposes.
Any entry which is determined to be antagonistic to the HeRO Server or its players will be immediately disqualified. In-game or forum punishments may also apply.
The judgement of the contest organizers is final.
