Request for Screenshot Help

Hello-

I'm wondering why, when I look at the screenshots I've taken, these strange zig-zags appear (see image for example). When in Driver or Surveyor mode, the terrain looks fine.

Does anyone know what's causing this and/or how I can fix it? I'd like to show off my Austin Western RR route, but these zig-zags ruin the screeenshots I take.

I'm running TRS 2006 and viewing the screenshots in Ifranview.

Thanks very much in advance,

Max

Its something to do with some kind of alpha crap that I don't understand. Download Fraps for free and use it instead. You just set up a folder in your documents to send the pics to. You can even make 30 second videos, and it shows what kind of frame rates you are getting..

Verify the resolution of the monitor and the resolution of the game. They should be the same, I think ...

"Antialias" is a great help to get rid of the jaggies.

Strange looking...Last time I saw that was when I previewed an unconverted straight TGA screenshot...it must be converted to a jpg in TRS2006.

Thanks, all, for the suggestions.

Matching TRS' screen resolution to that of my monitor didn't take of the problem, although I believe it did make things look even better when I'm driving and surveying. I couldn't find an anti-aliasing feature in any of the graphics programs I have available to me, nor could I figure out how to convert a screenshot to JPG format in TRS.

However, what seemed to do the trick was to press Alt+Print Screen and then paste the image into Paint.net and save it as a JPG. Initial results have been satisfactory. The zig-zags don't seem to show up when I do it that way. It's a bit cumbersome since I can only take one screenshot at a time, but it looks like it'll work.

I'll keep fiddling with it and see if I can come up with a more convenient way to get around this problem. I'll post it here if I do, in case others are also dealing with it.

Thanks again and happy trainzing,

Max
