Screenshots - please help!

**Thundermace** · 08-25-2008, 13:45

Hello everybody!
I would like to ask something about making screenshots. I can make screenshots, however the restriction of the camera , when I want a detailed zoom of a unit, is an obstacle.
Is there some way to modify the game so I can take detailed screensots - e.g. as if I am in between the units of the army, no slightly from above? I have seen such screenshots in the net, so there must be a way, however I can't find it out.
If I didn't make it clear enough - do I have to mod anything so I can zoom the camera so much as if I am standing on the ground, next to the units and can see them from tis level - not from slightly above?
For exampleq like this http://www.totalwar.org/games/screen.../image_17.html
Or
http://www.totalwar.org/games/screen.../image_18.html
or
http://www.totalwar.org/games/screen.../image_19.html

Thanks in advance!

movie cam should work (i havent used it before, but i imagine so)

i believe you right click the RTW shortcut then under the path add -movie cam

so

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome Total War\rometw.exe" -movie cam

Thanks for the reply!

but how does it actually work - I should actually rename the .exe file, right?
And do you know whether it will change the game performance in some way?

To do the first screenshot, Thundermace, it is easy to do without the need of movie cam, simply zoom in (scroll mouse forward) to ground level then use the arrow keys to rotate the camera. (Default settings).
