KI Serial Code

After the events a while ago about the fake sighting of Yeesha in the Cavern using an Until Uru screenshot, I felt that using a serial code on KI images would be able to show the status of an image without breaking the In Character illusion. Ultimately I had hoped it would catch on and perhaps become a standard for the community to make life easier for people but I doubt that it will ever happen.

The serial code on my KIimages are split into 3 parts

20.04.07:IG – K.Lord

The first part is obviously the date the image was “taken”, the second part if the status of the image. Each set of letters represent a different status those of which are as follows;

  • IG: In Game – These shots were taken in game without any editing what-so-ever.
  • IGM: In Game Modified – These shots were taken in game but may have been taken with flymode or slightly edited in Photoshop.
  • FC: Fan Content – These shots were taken in Fan made Ages and locations.
  • FCM: Fan Content Modified – These shots were taken in Fan made Ages and locations but may have been taken with flymode or slightly edited in Photoshop.
  • MV: Myst V End of Ages – Images taken in game from Myst V End of Ages.
  • MVM: Myst V End of Ages Modified – Images taken in game from Myst V End of Ages but may have been taken with flymode or slightly edited in Photoshop.

Finally the third and last part of the serial code is the name of the person who “took” the image in question.

28.05.11 Update: The serial codes for the KI have been cleaned up. Most of the old codes have been dropped in favor of 3 core codes with two states to them.
