Blacksnake89 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I have read the pinned but stampede's method is mostly greek to me and I already know it wont work for me but thats not what my question is about. I actually have a few questions My first one is this. What are some programs I can use to take screenshots and upload them here? I have Xfire and that allows me take screens but will it's format work here? I read Dark0ne's post about having FRAPS and I have heard of FRAPS but haven't used it. He mentioned having a registered copy of FRAPS and I'm guessing that costs money if so how much? Next what mods should I use to improve the graphics for my screens aside from turning up the settings? are they permanent replacers or are they togglable such as OMODs or .esp? now my final question what would you recomend I use for taking the screens? I know I already asked a question simmaler to that, but this is more specific. Someone may say "Xfire will work for what you want it to" That would be answering my first question but when I ask what do you suggest I'm looking for something more along the lines of "Xfire will work but _____ works much better but might cost you a few bucks." I'm asking this because I'm pretty good at making faces and I'm planning on releasing some as a resource I don't know if I can take or upload screens yet and I doubt anyone with good modding experience would download face resources w/o pics so I'm looking for some advice/techniques. TY in advance for any help given -Blacksnake89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpenious Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 FRAPS is about fifty bucks, I think, but that's only to register. You can download the free version if you just want screenshots. The only difference between that, and a registered version, you can only take bitmap images, and video in 30 second intervals. It's easy enough though, to convert a bitmap image to jpeg with paint or some similar program. This is what I use because the print screen button refused to capture screenshots for me. If you don't want to bother with changing all your image files, then something else would work better for you. Sorry, I have no experience with Xfire so can't help you there. About graphic improvements, you say you want face pictures mostly right? There is a pretty good mod which doubles the pixels on all character faces, basically makes them smoother. I'm pretty sure it's called "natural faces", but you might have to search a little for it. Anyway, hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksnake89 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Ok thanks Palp that's really helpful. I already have natural faces so thats covered. I'm also planning on taking screens for more than just showing my mods I also plan on taking some to put on my profile so I'm also concerned with what the environment around me looks like. Any ideas for mods that upgrade environmental textures would be nice but my comp doesn't run higher graphics well so I'm looking specifically for environmental mods that are only temporary OMODs and such. I heard of a mod that might be something like what I'm looking for Quarls or something like that? I don't know if thats permanent like natural faces or just a toggle though.

Save yourself the money, use Xfire. I have both, but I use Xfire 90% of the time. I have a lot of screenshots and videos here in the forums using Xfire. Search with "underdark" and you can see examples of screenshots and I also made this movie The Underdark Trailer while using Xfire.
