Aquiring screenshots and uploading to the org

[Divinus Arma]

Fellow Members and gracious Moderators,

Here is where I stand:

I can upload pictures from a URL server (thanks Kuri), I can take screenshots, namely TGA files in the tgas folder.


How do I upload a TGA file to a URL server? I am using photobucket right now, which only takes "Valid file types: jpg, gif, png, bmp, swf".

So, now what? I'm not a tech guy so I am already way beyond anything I have ever done before.

Hey Divinus,

You need to convert the TGA file into JPG. Go to www.irfanview.com and get their free program. Install and open the TGA file and "save as" a JPG file.

Then you simple add the tags "{img}address{/img}" etc. Just replace the "}" with "]" and the "{" with "[".

I haven't used photobucket before so I'm not sure how to comment on that, but I suggest you use www.imageshack.us since they pre-add the tags themselves so all you need is copy & paste the link+tags to this board.

If you have more questions, just ask again. ~:)

Or you can just open the pic in paint, hit "save as", and below where you type the name you change the format to JPG. Almost all sites will accept that. It has always worked for me.

Which program do I download from that site? He has a bunch.

Hey Divinus,

Click the Download section at the left. Click any link where it says "download irfanview" not the "download irfanview plugin". ~:)

Okay. Here we go. Let's see if I have the hang of this.

THANK YOU!!!!

Wow. I am now only a little icompetent instead of completely incompetent.

Maybe I'll even work my courage up to modding one day.
