Hi!
I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful mod!!
It really makes RTW a new, and better game! :yes:

I have a question about screenshots:
Where can I find them?
Are they placed in the tgas folder in TGA file format?
and... with what program can you see those files? I cant see anything in paint, photoshop, picture viewer or anything :help:

Thank you :)

Anders, Norway :2thumbsup:

Yes, they are placed in folder called Tgas.
I'm using Irfanviewer to open them:

with Irfan you can easily convert tga. files into other formats :yes:

Have you tried converting them to .jpg? Also, do you have anti-aliasing turned on in your options. There have been reports that this results in black screenshots (usually when opened with FRAPS, a different program).

hmmm... i don't know what caused that... i have no problem with irfan.
but you can always try some other picture viewer program, just google and try some other program. if that wouldn't help, i really don't know what's the problem :skull:

better to use a 3rd party utility , such as FRAPS.

I had that problem too. You should turn anti-aliasing off.

I found out that I get black screenshots only when I have anti-aliasing on. When I turned it off, everything works perfectly, but I guess I keep the anti-aliasing on...go for better graphics when I play rather the ability to take screenshots :)

Thanks for the answers, guys!

In case it wasn't clear, you can download a program called FRAPS (http://www.fraps.com/) that allows you take screenshots that are not affected by anti-aliasing.
