    Default Screenshots Help.

    Hello guys, I've been wondering for sometime but when your in-game playing, then you press Print Screenshot it saves at "tgas" folder inside your Installation Folder right?

    But it's in TGAS file, how does this whole thing work.. I don't get it.. Explain please!

    You press PRINT SCREEN it takes the screenshot, puts it in the tga folder in your RTW directory (in this case the place where you installed RS2, every RTW directory will have a seperate tga folder) in .tga file format which can be opened by photoshop,gimp or irfanview and then converted into jpg format which you can upload through imageshack or photobucket. Alternatively you can download FRAPS and save the screenshot in jpg format, thus avoiding the occasional black picture that comes with Antialiasing. If you dont use FRAPS, take the screenshot twice so that if one is black there is a chance the other might be ok.

    I use fraps and thoroughly recommend it for ease of use in this situation.

    If you look on the Fraps screen you can hide the overlay.

    I've been using
    http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multime...-Capture.shtml

    It's got plenty more options than Fraps (for screenshots anyway) and is freeware.

    On a scale of 1 to 10, how old are you?

    I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. Can you elaborate?

    Fixed (Brusilov) - no need to be rude. Have a read of the ToS.

    With TWC there are a number of skins that can be used with the forum.

    I suspect that John Denver is using one of those:
