Title: I made a screenshot... a long ago

I am certain you see the thing which is abnormal.
If you can say why it is, you are the master!

I know the answer, I am curious if you do.

A bitmap? Do you hate us or something?
Title: BMP?
Post by: TopAce on November 29, 2003, 03:19:12 pm
Yes, why?

I was(am) lazy to convert it to a JPG. OK, I admit I used Paint to save it. Loading up Photoshop just to save screenshot is not a business.

If I hated you(plural is to be understood here), I would not be visiting this forum.

Er... Paint can save JPGs. Or mine can, anyway.

But it sounds like what you need is the infinte power or IRFAN™ (www.irfanview.de) :nod:

I figured it was some type of mass destruction multi-warhead for the secondary, BUT the thing that amazes me is that to get such a high enemy count you must have created a mission with no friendlies and large groups of enemies yes? (am I close)...

I have IrfanView. Paint can save in JPG, just the colors get dimmer, which is not advantegous.

This is not the Piranha, it is a missile called 'Fatboy', the advanced Piranha for Renegade Ressurgence. It fires 20 advanced Rockeyes.

OK, look, I'm not goind to get in to a big long debate about this but it's a simple screen shot. It doesn't matter if you lose some colour. As long as it's legible, that's all that important.

I'm just saying this for your own good, you know. People don;t appreciate things like bitmaps where JPGs or GIFs will do :)

I stick to have the same screenshot in the file that I saw in the game.
Simple as 1 + 1.

What can't you see? :wtf:
If you think about the 'strange things in the piccy': Have a look at the Accuracy. If you cannot see the picture itself, refresh the window.

it's nearly 1MB. now, 1MB with a phone conn takes a long time, about 3 and a half minutes. a gif would  be about 10 times as small, IIRC

I first discovered that in FS1 - the mission Black Omega, where you fly the Ursa for the first time against a HOL Typhon. Just pack in the cluster bombs and let loose. ;)

This is the thing I was curious about. It is my experience that anything posted in the SCP forum becomes nothing. I am curious if this thing in the next build would be fixed.
