How do you remove the black bars on top/bottom of pic which is a result from using camera.sqs?

showCinemaBorder false

where do you type that? (what field? (on activation, init, etc.)

init or onActivation... doesn't matter. it is important that you execute it before the camera is created, so it would be wise to do it via init.

thankyou very much!  

EDIT

how do you make these pics look so high resolution? Do you have to switch the resolution in game?

Yeh, or resize the image, but that'll screw the quality up a lot

But increasing the screen res to the max the monitor will run it fine for taking screenshots, as you dont see how slow it's going in a still screenshot

you must be talking about your system - cos i don't see such *slow motion ...

@Dabitup: try it out for your own  - play a little bit with gamma and frame rate switch and find out your own best compromise due playability and *nice looking ...

Thnx

Yours are nice as well  

A bit more sharpening would make your pics even better I think.

okay, thanks, but if you make the screen resolution to highest and then resize the pic to 800x600 in photoshop doesnt that pretty much make uping the resolution pointless? or wil it still be high resolution, just smaller?

thanks though!

one tip dabitup: try to handle your screens till the last step as an *.bmp

means: from your original screen (e.g. 1600x1200) to the *finnished pic (e.g. 800x600)

as *.bmp (all your *improvments like e.g. autocontrast done)

=> then as the last step to 800x600.jpg

- dont try to resize as an *.jpg or *.png => you will have too much quality lost:

P.S. of yourse i make my screens as *.bmp;

keep in mind the: the *informations in your pic are the bits that it has (bmp= ~3MB / jpg < then 100kB   )

[dabitup 0]

so right at the last step when you resize to 800x600 after that save a .jpg?

once I saved an image as .bmp accidentaly and loaded it on imageshack it was 1456kb or something like that  

P.S.

nice pics parvus!

With Uwar grass, whats the difference from the grass under objects and the grass that is under UWAR->whatever grass.  

thanks!

thanks!

The grass in "Uwar" is only needed for the script, if you want to make some screens you have to use the grass in "Object"!

The other grass won´t work without the script

By the way, nice screens!
