Before i forget, i'm busy this weekend (babysitting useless types

) and probably most of the next week. If all goes well, i'll have all the tutorial stuff finished and the actual contest thread up by next friday. In the meantime, register your interest in this thread (if you haven't already) so i have a good idea of how many are taking part. Thanks.

I was walking around closing Oblivion gates, and caught my Argonian looking wistfully at an open sea. Maybe he'll save the world. Maybe he'll chase slaughterfish for the rest of his days. I'm in. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Slight problem with hosting, guys. Imageshack has a maximum file size of 1.5mb for free hosting. Photobucket is only 1mb. Most of my test pics are about 2.25mb as bitmaps and around 1.7mb as .png files. The next best image quality/file size format is JPEGs. It's not as nice to look at, but for the purposes of this contest, it might just do.

Does anyone have any better suggestions for either image formats or sites to host 'em at?

Oh, and i appear to be losing pics (some pearlas too, dammit!

) due to Oblivion overwriting their file names in the default directory when i take new pics. Does anyone know why/how this is caused?

I've pressed PrtSc but nothing came out. No pictures in Oblivion folder. Anything wrong?

Sever · 08-11-2006, 12:26 AM

Kakero, have you edited the Oblivion.ini file in your My Docs/My Games/Oblivion folder? Not the one in your Oblivion folder?

If anyone is still unsure about how to take screenies, please be patient just a little longer. I'll have the thread up (with all the relevant How-tos) by tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You mean I should edit the one in My Docs/my Games/Oblivion folder? D'oh!

Ilander · 08-12-2006, 05:53 AM

You have to enable screenshots in the .ini file in your my documents directory. A quick search should reveal how to do that.

I'll try and post a picture here in the next couple of days...it's a slow process, since I'm on dial-up, and my computer doesn't have a modem, so I run everything through my mother's slow sod of a computer.

When does the contest end?
