Screenshot question
- Thread starter NTSEFAN
- Start date
Screen shots are taken by pressing the PrtSc key on your computer keyboard. This places files in your ..\Program Files\Auran\(trainz version)\ScreenShots folder. If they're in .tga format, convert them to .jpg format with a graphics probram. Now upload them to a Photoserver site. Then you can post them in your "Nick The Steam Engine Screenshots".

Also, I've just recently set up a web site for sharing screen shots. It's just getting started so there aren't a lot of shots there yet (mostly my own), but it's a bit more searchable than the forums (you can browse by railroad, poster, date, etc.), and you don't need to find separate image hosting to link to like Bob (rweber95) mentioned; once you have your screen snap, all you need to do is go to the web site, click "add photo", and follow the instructions, they get hosted right on my site. I've really tried to make it as easy to use as possible:

"Prt Scr" button on you keyboard takes the screenshot. I will be in a TGA format in your PC somewhere. You must convert the TGA to be a jpg, using Free Irfanview, or some other image manipulating program. You upload the jpg to a photo sharing site like Photobucket. Once there, you hover over the Image Details and "copy" that "Direct Link", or the "Image Link", and you post that tag line in Trainz forum...sounds difficult ? It's not...even I, can doo it.:hehe:
With TS09/10 the screenshot is automaticly a jpg format.

If you just want the pictures for yourself, then do nothing other that taking them with the PrtScr key and they will be saved in your ..\TS2009\ScreenShots or your ..\TS2010\UserData\screenshots folders, depending on which version you have.
Cascaderailroad was explaining how to put your screenshots into the Trainz Forums.

Free stuff

Download and install the DLL package, then get ConVim and install that. ConVim will convert from any format to any other format, most image hosting sites require compressed .jpg files.

Upload to that, then select the direct image link, click on the Insert Image icon and hit CTRL and V on your keyboard to paste the link into the window.

Google this:Okay now I understand. But how do I convert from a .tga format to a .jpg format?

The MS "Snipping Tool" on your PC Accesories, saves your area of your monitor screen, that you drag a box on your screen, as a jpg to your "Pictures" and uploading to Photobucket is easy !
