Just a short note while I am doing other things. For normal screen captures (not using Cineditor), you can go into your.cfg file, i.e. the medieval2.Rule_Britannia.cfg found with your mod folder, and open it with a good editor like Notepad ++, and then under the [video] settings put in this line:
[video]
windowed = 1
borderless_window = 1
autoBorderlessMode = 1
tga_width = 5120
So for example, my configuration for Rule Britannia is set up so I can alt+TAB out of the game and then I added the tga_width to 5120 which is the maximum setting, and will give the very best screen capture, but of course will be huge. The ones I loaded previously were not the best quality, just fast ones that I did. Higher quality ones will be better for making splash screens, or for my purposes I use them for doing battle analysis.
The value of 5120 is the max, but you may see things not lining up as a result, so if that happens you may need to reduce it.
So using the highest setting, it will take a tga of massive size, but some clipping occurs. What this allows a graphic person to do is to zoom in and get the shot of a particular unit though. It means being able to go in and crop and scale the image. See the attached shot of the Norwegian Late Bodyguard.
In this photo, the scene is a Summer Night of part of the Norway roster. Angling of the camera will be affected by the terrain, and closeup are generally better of mounted units. Still it is not ideal as the green indicators are still turned on. I'll show you how to turn them off in the next posting.
