Anyone know a good way to take screenshots? Besides print screen and fraps? Or maybe someone could tell me the fs2 screenshot button which i can't find anywhere.

[Cobra]

dug around my screenshots folder. found some good ones.

oh, and S-99? if you press Print Screen your images get saved to a folder.

Nice Derelict screens! 

[S-99]

you really derelict-my-balls there

[Cobra]

Nice Derelict screens! 

not 2 seconds after I read that i realized that all of the screenshots were from Derelict.

This ship is quote unquote the buster.

On the third mission of fs2, this leviathen just takes a ****ing load of punishment for a long time before it goes down. The ****ing vasudans being all big **** killing it with only missile batteries and flak

This ship is "easy".

Gonna kill this *****.

After i blew up that freighter, it's ****ing cargo came flying out at me.



Then i revisited the gtva shivan intelligence.

****ing lady shaver thong wearing hairy bastards.

Btw, I just discovered that i made it to onto the fs2 portion of wikipedia.org

That pic from Transcend mission 1?

[S-99]

You got it. It's funny though how they put in my screenshot for the wiki to show off the graphics of the scp. It is an scp enhanced image, but more overly uses hdrish for the fake hdr effect in it. Hdrish is unrelated to the scp, but it does show off some of the habits and personality through how people like to play the game based on player preference with the graphics. Sort of like how some people can play with mvadveffects, use the lower quality special effects, and through unrelated things like smartshader enhancements. Besides that, it's just a good epic screenshot of the average convoy going to a node with the htl asteroids

It gets my thumbs up, a few of Steaks pics wouldn't go amiss nowadays though, I miss the Array..........Whens Ver 2 up?

[S-99]

Took these shots from the nebular theater of fs2

[Dark Hunter]

Was it just me or did the Actium's nameplate look like it was backwards? 

[S-99]

When you do the print screen way of taking screenshots, it like takes a screenshot reversed of the image you had along with it being opositely mirrored. So i rotated all of the photo's to be correct, but i didn't want to go through the time of "inversing" the images

Wait, what?? Mine show up normal, on multiple machines.  So you're saying they're mirrored and rotated 180 degrees?  Weird...

[S-99]

Yeah, it's like ****ed up for me. They're upside down and mirrored. Maybe i should try getting a different batch tga convertor

[Cobra]

Time to bust out some badass screenshots.

To me this sounds like some issue with S-99's image viewing program. Or rather not actual "issue" as in "bug", but some setting might be wrong... that could cause the program to use wrong starting point where it starts to open the image code.

The screenshots made by FS2_Open are RLE-coded TGA's. RLE (Run Length Encoding) can be done starting from different corners of picture. It's basically a line of pixel colour information; but instead of saying, for example, aaaaabbbbbbccdddd (if a, b, c and d were colours), it says a5b6c2d4  and so on... but the coding can be started from different corners of the actual image. If the picture is saved with RLE starting from one corner and image reading software thinks they are made starting from other corner, it ends up with screw-ups just like these, basically flipping/mirroring images without being told to do so.

GIMP shows FS2_Open screenshot TGA's just right. At least on my PC. What are you using, S-99?
