Title: How to upload images and other questions.
Post by: colecampbell666 on May 20, 2007, 10:34:39 am
I was wondering how to upload screenshots and also how to assign ships to guard a wing, and not just a single ship. Could someone help me?

Use GIMP or Irfanview to convert your screenshots to jpg format, then, if you want to upload screenies temporarilty to the forum, use the post reply button to reply to a topic (rather than the quick reply box), or make a new one, and then click on additional options under the textbox and there's an option to upload attatchments.

Alternately, use ImageShack (http://imageshack.us/) or Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/), which have idiot proof picture upload capabilities.

Also, as for guarding wings, it's the same as guarding regular fighters... just use the wing name. I just tried it and I can't see how it'd be any more complicated than regular guarding. It is possible though that you're trying it with a ship that can't accept the guard AI command for any ship - in a wing or otherwise. Most of your capships and the like can't guard - you need fighters and bombers to do that.

I believe he's talking about in-game, which isn't possible. (Well, maybe through interesting use of F6-12).

No, I meant "How do you order one wing to guard the other in game?". But thanks for answering the other question.

Wasn't Gooby going to work on that?  (assigning Wing X to cover Wing Y)
