NikhilR Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Hi, is there a way to access the screenshot stored in the save game. You can see it in the save menu as a thumbnail image, but I want to open the image in an image viewer/editor.I'm using wyre bash (dont knoe if that can be used) I'd appreciate any help in this matter.
Keirgarth Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 GIMP can be used to open and modify the screenshots and is open source which means it is free, but it is very powerful.

How do I use FRAPS to open the screen shot saved by the game when I make a save game?I'm talking about the thumbnail image that accompanies a save game, letting you know what's in it.I've checked the data directory and the only screenshots I can see are the ones I've taken by pressing Print screen on the keyboard. The screen shot I want to access is the one taken automatically by the game when a game is saved for the purpose of a thumbnail image. I think its stored in the save game file and I need to find away to access it.

It is indeed part of the save, but, so far as I know, there are no tools for editing save games like there was for Morrowind. To my knowledge, no one has broken them down yet.
Keirgarth Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 What exactly are you trying to do? Are you wanting to modify the image that is shown for the saved game, or are you wanting to get the thumbnail for some other purpose?
NikhilR Posted August 26, 2011 Author Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) What exactly are you trying to do? Are you wanting to modify the image that is shown for the saved game, or are you wanting to get the thumbnail for some other purpose? Hi All I want is to open the image that is shown for the saved game (as a thumbnail) in a picture viewer. I shall explain what led to this, There's this bug that happens when you shoot a guard on a horse in the back with an arrow.What happens is the body stays on the ground and an invisible version of the guard attacks you!Now I think this can be reproduced but what happened next was rather strange and rare.As I was fighting the invisible guard his body magically leapt through the air in a kung fu kick and stayed in mid air in a warped position.I saved the game immediately but no when I load it, the guard bug is resolved so I can't capture the moment in a screen shot. That is why I want to access the image in the save game. Edited August 26, 2011 by NikhilR
Keirgarth Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 OK, got your reasoning :) Will look into this and see if there is a way to bring up that image outside Oblivion.
