Bigger screen pictures

[themaltesebippy]

Is there a way to get the game to make bigger screen caps than 600x450?  I have gunmod's camera hack which is great for closeups but I want bigger caps.

Thanks.  Don't know why this didn't come up in search here or at MTS2.

I've always just pushed PrintScreen, that takes a full-size cap of whatever is on the screen and sticks it on clipboard for MSPAINT.

I could do that for Photoshop but I think it only does one pic at a time.  With the freebee program mentioned in the tread, I can do unlimited ones as long as I don't have the preview first option selected.  This new custom computer I have is a monster.  I thought the game looked good on my other one but man this one is so fast and sharp.  Game takes less than thrree minutes to load and I have quite a bit of cc.

  I just use the unregistered version of FRAPS ( http://www.fraps.com/ ) if I want full screen screenshots . Just set the key you want as your ' shutter ' key and then you can take as many pictures as you want without coming out of the game ( I just use the Print Screen key as my camera key with it for convenience ) . You can also use FRAPS to benchmark how fast the frame rate is if you think your game is ' stuttery ' when you move the mouse around . And you can also use it to make videos of your game ( although if you want large , quality , lengthy videos with it you need to pay to register it . If you just want it for screenshots though the unregistered version works fine  To use FRAPS with your game it's as simple as just starting up FRAPS and then starting up your game while FRAPS is running . You say your new comp is a monster so in theory you should be able to always run it in the background while your game is running

Gadwin takes multiple "print screen" shots of the entire desktop. Fraps takes multiple shots of the game frame, no desktop background. So I have both.

Gadwin can be configured to take either pictures of the entire desktop, or just the active window.

Thanks for the tip, Ms. Gwilly! Shows how often i use the screenshotters. (I.e., not often.) Maybe I can do without FRAPS, then.

FRAPS is pretty heavy on system resources, from what I recall, while Gadwin uses very little. You can easily have Gadwin running in the background and not suffer for it.

I use both Fraps and Gadwin. I heart both, but for screenshots, Gadwin wins, hands down. It's all I use for pics.

That's because Gadwin just sits there and waits for you to print one frame. FRAPS tries to capture multiple frames per second.
