About multiple screenshots

[Kaidonni]

Okay, I've been planning to play a 1.3 RTW H/H campaign as SPQR, and I want to do a war story on RTWH about it. However, I have come across this ever-present snag - screenshots. I don't want to use FRAPS - the file size is really what worries me. As for alt-tabbing each time I take a screenie...heh, you can see how that is gonna get REAL annoying fast. It's one reason why I stopped a RTR war story I did a while back on the RTR forums...

I'm aware that there is a tga folder. However, I have experimented in the past, and my screenshots do not materialise in there. And if they did, I'd hope that every screenie I took would appear in there. This would make it far easier to do a war story, doing a weekly update (that is probably what I'll do - it's another reason I stopped doing a RTR war story...it just got in the way of actually playing the game...I should have decided on a regular update and not an every-time-I-play update ).

So, any tips, advice, etc? I really want to do this war story, and it'll help me when I get involved in the TE Succession Campaign - it's my go sooner or later, now (hopefully post-May 25th and ending pre-June 16th - got uni, German nightclass and then on the end, a holiday in France for 2 weeks - you can see why I've put in that post and pre thing). I don't really want to use FRAPS - if file size gets to be an issue, it depends how long I play for that will really start to be a problem.

Thanks for any help. :original:

Use ImageShack's QuickShot then, it allows you to take multiple screenshots, and save them in JPEG format. You can even immediately upload them with a hotkey.

Thanks :original:

I'll probably have to edit them first in Photoshop. Got two monitors, both linked...meaning that whatever is in the other monitor is also in screenies. This will, however, still help me to take multiple screenies and not have to alt-tab every single time.

Thanks again
