Screenshots changed from .bmp to .tga?

theroc44 · 08-28-11, 05:22 PM

Well i installed the hires fix and it does look beautiful, i got every other mod working now, finally. The problem with the hi-res fix is two things firstly i cant use F10 or F11 anymore which isnt that much of a big deal, i can just use the side scroll menu. But my screenshots since i moved the pathway with the hi-res fix outta the sh3 main folder the screens are being saved as a Truevision TGA file instead of a .BMP. Does anyone know how to change this back to a .BMP, im not really sure how to do it. Thanks in ahead you guys are really the best here.

i was looking thru the cfg main file and i came across this
[VIDEO]
Resolution=1024 x 800
DynamicShadows=No
FullScreen=Yes
Synchronized=No
ParticleDensity=100
TextureResolutionHigh=Yes

The Dynamic shadows should that be set to yes?, im guessing the synchronized is Vetical sync. But i dont know. Now my resoultion is set to 1680x1050 but in the cfg/main its set to 1024x800. Did anyone mess with this?

I don't use the hi-res fixes, any of them, so I don't know why it's coming out different. That's totally foreign to me.

I have a program I purchased for that kind of thing, but any paint or photo program should have a converter that will do the job.

Check to see if your computer has Microsoft Works. One of the programs inside should be PictureIt! If you open the pictures with that program you can then just go to File and select 'Save As'. There is a drop-down menu at the bottom that will let you change the format. Bitmap is one of the choices.

actually i do, i just tried it worked like a charm. I got a question for you which mods are you using other than any of the standard GWX ones. Right now other than any skin mods i got sh-5 water mod,torpedo damage,lifeboatsv4,qship,waterstream/exhaust combo. My problem is i cant use the flags and pens or the DF antenna down mod because the waterstream and exahust combo dont mix. I tried downloading a seperate exhaust mod since it doesnt use the uboat.dat file, but it doesnt work on GWX3. Do you use any of these together?
