The screenshot topic

[frogbeastegg]

A Total War free counterpart to the Mead Hall's Total War screenshot thread.

A few rules, all very simple.
1.Keep your picture size small in KB We have people using 56k modems and below so try to be considerate. JPG format is a good balance between size and quality, GIF is also good.
2.Keep image size less than 600 pixels wide so those viewing the site in 800x600 resolution don't have their screen messed up.
3.Nothing breaching the TOS, so keep those screenshots from the nude patch on Xtreme Beach Volleyball to yourselves.
4.Only screenshots you have taken from games that have been released as we would really like to avoid being hit by angry people whose images you have 'borrowed' to post here. It is acceptable for people to advertise upcoming games for non-profit reasons, but not in this thread. This rule also prevents people from posting pics from illegal alpha and beta games downloads.

If you have no hosting space of your own a new area has been opened up to host the pics here at the org. Voigtkampf has kindly agreed to look after this space as well as the sig/avatar space. Upload your pictures here: games screenshot uploader and then check this page to see when your screenshot is ready for use. For full instructions and help with this feature please check this topic

To test the system and get the ball rolling one solitary screenshot from Neverwinter Nights Hordes of Underdark expansion.

SORT OF SPOILER WARNING this screenshot may be considered spoilers by people who have not yet reached chapter 3 I deeply apologise for this but this screenshot is the only non-TW screenie I have at the moment, lingering on my hard drive long after the game has gone. The game I am playing at the moment doesn't have a inbuilt screenshot capture, and I am not going to reinstall a load of games just to take another screenshot Besides this one is quite good Just skip this post and don't look at the picture.














My 'dragon knight' (red dragon disciple 10, fighter 13) fighting it our with support from Aribeth and Deekin, note the way his armour matches his wings, and his sword glows red...a happy accident. He also had a steel bucket helm with red trim but I took that off for the screenshot. Don't look at me for the source of the dopey name - it was a pregenerated one If you want to know why this is a male character, well I don't like the female voice sets yet again

well somebody uploaded a screen for this (i'm guessing it was for this, it wasn't tw) but they uploaded it to the story section. it's been taken care of and was moved to this space, (so said tosa) .

To the Owner of Slot0000.bmp: Your screen is ready now.

i dont actually know that for sure...i'm just guessing again

[Teutonic Knight]

ok, Here are 4 screens from one of my favorite games of all time, Cossacks: The Art of War (I'm still playing it).

Now, the first one is myself and a friend (mr. poo hehe) defending an elevation we're using as a launcpad to attack and enemy. I am the Prussians in front, and my aly is the Russians in the last two rows (Teal, or whatever that color is):




Now, a different map, my pikemen advancing and slaughtering French muskets (silly French )




Another battle with the French at the exact same choke point. My (vastly superior) Prussian 18th century muskets duel with the French muskets: (notice all the bodies, that was from an artillery barrage of 35 Krupp cannon )




This last screen is large battle (not scenario staged, the computer, myself, and my ally built up our armies and engaged an advancing French army) where the enemy armies slowly advance on each other while the cannon in the middle are being captured by both sides and aren't sure exactly which way to fire. (this battle was extremely close btw, I won, but I had 4 men and one canon left )



Sometime later I'll be back with more carnage

Now how would you feel when you were commanding those poor guys in that first screenie?

hopefully you mean the guys on the right?

if the guys on the left, I wonder why the general sent my little unit of pikemen to attack all by itself away from the main body of the huge Saxon army that was advancing (you can see it in the map, it's the great big purple blob on the left of the elevation) A personal grudge maybe? Methinks the Saxon general was pulling a King David on the poor officer


Notice, I have the magic hill

No I mean the once guys on the left. Its hilarious he is marching his soldiers head onto that fat formation... and on a magic hill..

well, it was the AI after all, but then again, I think he was pulling a King David on that officer...

A couple of screens from Thief 1, yes I know they are both right from the start of the first level but I was trying out some free screenshot grabber I downloaded. Ignore the 'load failed', the take screenshot button was bound to the same thing as quickload. Yes they are kind of dark, but that is how you play the game.


The distant sound of footsteps and whistling alert you to the guard, in the shadows of the street you can just make him out by the glint of light on his armour. I'm hiding in the deepest shadows, completely invisible, waiting for him to draw near...


I'm going to the bearpits tomorrow. You wanna come with?
The entrance to Lord Bafford's manor, the place I am going to rob. Three guards, well I am not going in this way This is the first conversation you overhear in Thief, one of the most famous and very funny too.

I assume this one has to be posted here? It was uploaded to the Story folder.

Here are some from Lock on: Modern Air Combat.
All these are multiplayer shots. Enjoy

In the F-15C shots pilots are Tin and myself.
In the Mig-29G shots, pilots in most of the formation pics are Shak, Tin, Apache and myself.

[Shahed]

Some more. MiG-29 Fulcrum Farewell skin.
Abosolutely fantastic paint job. One of my favorites.

Flight Leader: Me
Wingman: Tin (Englishman not registered on this forum)

[Shahed]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAWWWWWW
























Su-30 Blue-White demo skin applied to Su-27 by a great friend from India, Aquarius_Varun































That's another friend from Pakistan. He loves controlled spins but, hey you can't shake this Shak



Check out the pic of my sweetheart in the bottom left corner, tucked into the virtual g-suit. :)



I told you he loves controlled spins. What I did not tell you is that I love to follow him in em :) Here's the blackout.

[Cebei]

Oh myyyyy goooddddd, I am missing a collosal simulation gammeee

[Teutonic Knight]

Holy Sh*t That looks so friggin' awesome

[Shahed]

go to the LOMAC thread guys and check out the movie I just posted there. It's pretty cool and only 29 Megs for about 5 minutes of beautiful cinematic footage.

[Shahed]

Forgot to mention all the screenshots I post are MULTIPLAYER shots. All the pilots in the flyable aircraft are human in all shots.

[Sjakihata]

great promotion work shahed

Remember all, if you want to fly with us come to our HQ at:

http://www.go-legion.com

[Shahed]

Hey Sjak

Well thanks but I generally spend a lot of time on screenshots and movies. I just love the visuals and the graphics. I tend not to think of it as promotion work (but it probably is as a side effect). Remember the TW screenshot thread, heaven know show many I posted there, it's the love of the game.

Indeed most of those screenshots are missions flown by our squadron, and I also want to have something to look back upon years later and say hey THAT was FUN. This is a record of our squadron ops.

When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

[Alrowan]

nice pics is all i can say again sinan, the game is one of those graphically intense games that eats ur processor isnt it?

[Shahed]

Thanks man.

It is CPU intensive not only becuase of the graphics but also becuase of the complex, realistic modelling of the MANY weapons and platforms. It should not be expected to run great on a machine that is more than a year or two old.

The next generation of videocards and CPUs may run this game closer to it's maximum potential. At that time we may see some real screenies, but till then we shall have to live with it's hidden grandeur.

It runs great on my PC as you can see. My specs:

-P4 2.6
-RAD 9700 PRO

The rest is the usual (1 GiG RAM etc), this was a top of the line PC about June last year. The newer 9800XT and 5950 cards really run this game as a dream. I'll pass on those though and I'll most probably opt for the next generation. I know a lot of people who bought this game and about a week later bought a 5950 / 9800XT or a whole new PC. A bit like a lot have or may do for RTW..

[Shahed]

It takes alot more time than most can imagine to get a good screen and any feedback is always appreciated. Got some more to share, here. These are not that high quality but ok I guess. ALL are Multiplayer shots and all human pilots. A flight of Sue33s takes off from a carrier and meets with an airborne refueling tanker.

Approaching in PERFECT wedge. Tiger1 = Shahed, Tiger2 = RakGitarMan, Tiger3 = Tin


Speed 750. Think the stick


Speed 720.


Speed 710. (bit fast ? yeah hell yeah ) Tiger1 connected


Tiger 2,3 connected


Juicin up

[Shahed]

Sorry if these are double posted, can't remember if I posted these already. These are from carrier launched strike.

As I take off from the carrier, I see Overlord (Airbone Early Warning + Escort) flight high above.

[Mount Suribachi]

Sinan, those screenies are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

I'm off now to post a link in the What-if Modellers forum - we have a French Canadian pilot there who likes his LOMAC...

[Shahed]

Thanks Suribachi.

All contact info is in my profile if you want to give it to him. I know a guy from Quebec as well who is modding LOMAC in a BIG and REVOLUTIONARY way. Wonder if it's the same guy, I doubt it though.

[Shahed]

These are from Joint Operations. It's a fun and laid back kind of game. Loads of fun with many people.
All Multiplayer shots, of course. Not that great quality, but hey something different for The Arena.

Airborne Assualt. Everyone pile in, and hope for the best.


Tin, Faisal and me holding a bunker and providing fire over a large stretch of enemy territory. Poor guys they never knew what hit em. I got about 20 sniper kills from this position. The enemy team was using the bay as a transit zone and I popped a few heli pilots, and boat captains from this position.


Another airborne assault, Tin as pilot again. This time we are the resistance

[Mount Suribachi]

Sinan, I doubt it. My guy goes by the name of Lacombe and between Uni, playing Hockey, building large numbers of model planes, flying real planes, surfing the web & playing LOMAC, I don't think there are many hours left in the day for him to mod LOMAC

His old man owns a few warbirds - which he gets to fly now and then, lucky swine. He even got a ride in a B-25 Mitchell last month. I don't know if I've ever been as jealous of someone
