Forum and Screnshot Questions

**Infinitexs** · July 21, 2010, 03:18 AM

I have three questions to ask.

1) How do you add pictures from your computer. I don't mean attaching files. You have to upload to imageshack or photobucket your pic and then direct URL to get pic in the post. Is there any way to post pics without uploading in other sites. I mean a direct upload.

2) When you press print screen button when you are playing, you will get the screenshot in the tga file in the directory Program Files\SEGA\M2TW... .But the picture will be in the form of tga file. If I want them to change, I need to save each of them as JPG or BMP files so waste much of my time. Is there any way to make screenshots saved as JPG files.

3) How do you use Fraps program to get screenshots that might solve the No.2 problem too, I hope so.

1) as far as I'm aware, no there is not.

2) I don't think there is, but I may be wrong. Why would you want to save your images as JPEG's anyway? it's clearly the worst image format.

3) open up fraps, go to the screenshot tab and set a key to take a screen shot. Unless you buy fraps you can only save them as BMP's though.

@Iced
2) Because the forum don't allow tga files to be attached in the posts.

The fourth question, is there any "downloadable" file converter or is there anyway in ACDsee Photo Manager or Microsoft Picture Manager to convert my tga files to jpg ones.

oh, fair enough, I could see that being a pain.

4) just put the image into MS paint and use "save as" to save it as a different format.

especially when you are making an AAR requiring a lot pic. I am planning for an AAR, a long time. Still not worked, now I am having satisfied with my game SS6.1 + various sub-mods and self-mods. It's a good time to make an AAR and so I hope I will make one. It needs those JPG screenshots!!!
