LHammonds Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 You keep saying "oblivion\data folder" and I keep telling you that it is NOT (read NOT) in the "Data" folder. Plugins, Meshes, Textures and sounds are in the "Data" folder. Look in the "Oblivion" folder. This is where you find "Oblivion.exe" and "OblivionLauncher.exe". Once you see those files, look for the 3MB+ .BMP images. The "Oblivion" folder is the location where screenshots are saved. If you cannot get the internal screencapture utility to work for you, FRAPS is the next utility in line that will get the job done regardless of any setting in Oblivion.

KottonKing Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Okay. I found them. I forgot I installed Oblivion under C:\Program File\HP Games. I wasn't looking in that folder that's why I couldn't find them. Thanks LHammonds for your help and patients. It's kinda hard finding things when you have so many folders with Oblivion related items in them. Sorry about the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KottonKing Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Is there a way I can create a folder and make it to where all my screen shots automatically go to the new folder? Or do I just have to drag and drop in the new folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 The built-in Oblivion screenshot utility writes only to where the oblivion.exe is located. If you use FRAPS, you can configure it to create images anywhere and it saves to JPG format. But back to Oblivion, you create a batch file and have it (or a shortcut to it) on your desktop. After exiting the game, you can simply double-click on the batch file and it will move it for you...or have the batch file become your Oblivion startup sequence...e.g. You start Oblivion using the batch file which calls Oblivion and then when it exits Oblivion.exe, have it move the BMP files to your desired location. Example: StartOblivion.bat @ECHO OFF START /WAIT "C:\Games\Oblivion\Oblivion.exe" MOVE C:\Games\Oblivion\*.bmp C:\Screenshots\If you had a utility to batch convert images from one type to another such as NConvert, this batch file would be a good place to kick it off. You could modify the batch to read as follows: @ECHO OFF START /WAIT "C:\Games\Oblivion\Oblivion.exe" NConvert -out jpeg C:\Games\Oblivion\*.bmp DEL C:\Games\Oblivion\*.bmp MOVE C:\Games\Oblivion\*.jpg C:\Screenshots\Disclaimer: Please realize that this is ONLY an example and you would need to modify it to fit the files and folders on your PC.

KottonKing Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 That seems like a little too much hassle. I think I'll just make a desktop folder and move them to that folder after I exit the game. But thanks for you help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
