Title: I'm using this as a wallpaper...
Post by: BlackDove on February 22, 2006, 06:10:16 am
....just got the computer, so I didn't have any images, went in and took some shots, turned it into a wallpaper.

Thought I'd share. Click. (http://img57.imageshack.us/my.php?image=second9so.jpg) This is actually sort of loss of data, considering I had to stretch from 1024. Still looks pretty enough to be on my desk though...

Yep, like I said. In-game shot, however with quality loss because I resized from 1024 to 1280 (couldn't be arsed to run the game in 1280) and .jpeg'ed.

Looks better in native, but I needed it to fit.

next time you wanna make a wallpaper, run it in 1600 x 1200 at full spec, that way, you can scale down without the quality losss :)

Indeedy, thing was, I was afraid of the whole "Bugged in higher resolutions" so I just went with standard. Didn't want voodoo troubles :p

But yeah, that's what should be done. I'll probably do it next time I see an opportunity.

The only thing that's bugged in higher resolutions (so long as they are the standard 4:3 ratio) is the HUD is slightly blurry.  But then if you're downscaling or playing without the HUD, that's somewhat irrelivant.

Allright, I'll keep that in mind.
