[Primvs Sextvs Loverlord]

ACDSee

I'm not sure about that. If I'm taking screenshots, this is what I do:
1) I hit "Prt Srn" (Print Screen) on the picture I want
2) I ctrl+alt+delete to go back to my desktop
3) I open the program, Paint
4) I paste the picture onto Paint
5) I save my pic, and upload it to a free picture-site like www.photobucket.com

what is that?

[polarbear297]

how would you paste? do you have it copied already?

Yes, when you hit "Print Screen," it copies that image for you.

To paste it, just right-click on the blank screen on Paint. Then you'll see the option to paste it.

Or you can just use your menu on Paint:
- under Edit, you'll see the "paste" feature

But right-clicking is about a second faster to do.

and ctrl + V is even faster at pasting

search mod tools in the mtw2 section. There should be a converter in there somewhere.

[polarbear297]

to lazy but i think i'll try what barbarian prince said

[sdjenkyn]

Are you going to mod the tgas ? If so you need an import/ export tool or file converter. Not whats posted above.

[polarbear297]

ok cool, because i made a whole mess thinking that opening my tgas with paint would do the trick. guess not

[Prince_of_Macedon]

I wish it was that easy. I wish RTW would've installed a program that could read TGA files. Oh well.

[polarbear297]

lol so do i

It really depends on what you want to do with the tga's. If you are considering trying your hand at modding look here:

If you intend to modify the tga's such as making a new map etc.. I reccommend getting GIMP. a very powerful imaging tool and for what we need in TW series games, it is a good as photo shop, plus it is free!

You could use Photoshop or ACDSee(faster way)!

ive never heared of GIMP before lol. I have a trial for photoshop atm. Might look into gettin GIMP.

[polarbear297]

yeah i have GIMP but im trying to learn how to use the tools. not running to smoothly though

[Gleemonex]

I also strongly recommend GIMP. It's open source software, which gives it a whole slew of benefits. Anyways, find it here:
