What's your Captain Picture?

Safe-Keeper · 04-26-07, 08:09 AM

Sweetheat? Children? Pet? Friends? Classmates? Workmates? Boss? Last murder victim? Or, goodness forbid, yourself? Post pictures of your office and, more important, the picture on your desk here, as well as any other changes you may have made to the textures (I'm planning some changes myself)!

Myself, I've got two classmates and good friends of mine with me when I plan patrols behind my desk (pic' is taken outside my school - that's the backside of historical Bryggen in the background

).

My current one is far less stretched, but not black-and-white.

For those who don't know how to change your desk picture, you need to replace the TGA file picture in the Data/CaptainPicture sub-directory of your SH4 folder. Although the original was in TGA format, the replacement can be a JPEG file instead, but I've not yet tested other formats. The pic does not have to be shrunk to fit the frame, the game does that for you. Just reailze when cropping it that it has to fit the frame, otherwise it'll look stretched and ugly (like in the pic' above).

Here's mine: his name was Gildo, a wonderful cat I'll never forget

The cat fits in ever so nicely.

I used to have my Gordon Setter on the side of the conning tower.

As for the grumpy Hardcore Skipper... man, I hope he's not a close relative! Looks like something that might kill you in your sleep for not playing on 100% realism and a dozen realism mods

I switch them out. I've got one with the kids, one with the wife and kids, and a handful of movie stars from the 40's.

I put the kids' pic up when they're hanging around, and when the wife is hanging around, I usually put up one of the ladies. When she's not looking, I've got her and the kids.

That is one of my favorite shows. Al Bundy is my hero!

I have Rita Hayworth.:yep

I've got the other half. It's bad enough I spend hours "just looking at a damn map" without actually having an alternate piece of crumpet on my desk.

I miss SH4 Commander. It could easily have randomized pictures for me. Oh well. I was one of the people who never properly thanked JScones. One reaps what he sows

I went with Kate Beckinsale as Ava Gardner from "The Aviator".

I'd watch her read the phone book...
