Title: Suggestion for screenshots.
Post by: runboy93 on July 25, 2010, 10:44:22 am
Maybe some new options to screenshots?

- New tab "Screenshots" to FOconfig where you can change options to screenshots.
- You can choose imageformat (Gif,Jpg,Png)
- You can choose between Fullscreen/Fixed (Fixed mean that you can choose what spot you want target with mouse)
- You can choose folder where screenshot goes.
- You can choose button that takes screenshot (F1-F12 and some others)

This is very stupid suggestion.
You say you are lazy yet you want to waste developers' time with such thing instead of important game features and ballancing.
There are already tons of programs for taking screenshots with many configuration option so use them.
Rest of us can be happy FOnline has integrated screenshooting which works for use in 99% situations.

His suggestions are simple and have really no down-side, as it wouldn't affect gameplay-balance at all. Of course it would be low-priority to add these changes, but it is not a waste.

I especially like the last two points, because having them automatically go to my already-crowded Fonline folder is kinda of a pain; I move them to a different folder to organize them usually after taking the picture.

If you are going to customize what button does a screen-shot, it would be good to have a whole system to change every functional button to fit the user's wants, but this part has been suggested before, and hopefully will be implemented one day.

Maybe just add folder "screenshots" with update and little of code that when pressed F3 then pictures go to Folder named "screenshots"

Nothing wrong with those suggestions, although the 3rd might be a bit hard to realize.

I'm all in favour of a separate folder for screenshots, just as I like 1 for the saving of log files.

Yes please. I asked for this a while ago and never got a response, so maybe it's just a really low priority. But we could use a folder for screenshots, one for logs, and one for dump files because if you're running Vista like me, you get 3-4 dumps every time you start the game.
