High Resolution Screen Shots

[Gigantus]

Not sure if it has been mentioned somewhere before:

- interested in high resolution pictures?
- tired of screenshots with native resolution?

add this line into the [video] section of the CFG file:

tga_width = 1650

This will create a picture (TGA format) with the measurements of 1650*1237 when using the PrtScr button, to be found in tga folder of the game. Beware! It will weigh in at 6MB!
You can obviously change the value, just keep the size in mind.
Another note: if the value is greater then your native resolution, your screen picture will 'jump' a couple of times. Don't worry, the game is paused while this happens.

Underneath a cut out (no enlargement!) of the initial view when choosing Gondor. Like the detail?

Me neither. Sometimes there are problems to actually get the tga's.
You press the PrtScr button but there is no picture in the tga folder.
I found this only happens when you:

(1) rename the files in the tga folder and leave them there
(2) when you break the order of the files (when you have for example 5 pics in there and you delete one of the files)

Dont know if this happens to anyone but for me it helped to move
all of the take tgas to a new folder when no screenshot are
taken. or you should just leave all of them in there - unchanged.

But i use UOSU anyway.

You are correct with the assumption about renaming and order of the screen shots. The names have to be in sequence. I usually move them somewhere for editing and delete the contents of the folder.

The advantage of this entry is, that you can choose a resolution that is bigger then your screen. I did the same screenshot at a width of 3000 (2250 height - 20MB)

The cut out is actually bigger then a regular screen (1125*1071) - it is in a spoiler due to the size. Notice the detail of the forest in the background?
