Converting TGA's?

[vartan]

GIMP was made by and for pimps 'round the world. I use it where I don't have access to Photoshop. I never use it for my photographs, but it sure comes in handy when working on various formats.

[Duguntz]

Yeah, i still didn't figured out how to make it worth, when i open a Pic with GIMP it open it as all black...

Duguntz you can delete your TGAs. They are useless. When you take a screenshot with the Rome engine while anti-aliasing is enabled you will have black-shots for results. Sorry bud. You want anti-aliased pretty-shots? Use Fraps.

[Duguntz]

Eeeehhh, I have Fraps also... still, don't understand how it's working... i mean, what does it make, appart of putting some annoying yellow number in the top of my screen?

Take the frame-rate overlay off by repeatedly pressing F12. Take screenshots using F10 and vidshots using F9.

thank you!!!!! I'd kiss you if you were a girl!

GIMP is quite an unfortunate name.

I don't know how the product is though, I have photoshop and always manage with print screen.

But what I wanted to ask, what is anti-aliasing? I never changed any setting of it, I do not know what it does and never faced any problems like black shots. What reason would somebody have to turn it on? Thanks.

so the entire plate making assembly (me included) of www.kronoskaf.com are pimps?

I will take the stance of the tunisian govt. on this.

anyways: you don't necessarily need GIMP to see TGA's. as long as you turn off anti-aliasing, you shouldn't have a problem seeing it. if you do have it on, you need FRAPS.

the black screen shot issue usually happens with nvidia video cards. the solution is to disable antialyasing in rtw and enable it via the nvidia control panel and set it to override game settings. you can even set it up to x16

I have a Nvidia Geforce on my PC and laptop, never had black screen problems.

it doesnt always happen but when it does it seems to always involve an nvidia card and not using an outside app like FRAPS to take the screen shot

[Duguntz]

yep... that's exactly what happened... I've nvda and took screenshots withou any program... and all was black... now i've FRAPS and I've my two very first screenies! YAHOO!!!
