Simviation Forums

May be a dumb newbie but can someone help me?

Hey,

First take the shot the you want to put on.

Go the the forum up load page...put the file in there and upload it.

Once you have it uploaded on to the site, go start a new topic... then when your ready to put your shot on do this:




Take out the URL and put:

http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/(then your picture name).jpg

[img]http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/(then your picture name).jpg [/mg]

it should look like that but no spaces what so ever unless your name of your picture had a space...other then that one long thing.

no,no,no

How do you get the shot from the game in the first place????

LOL!
In the answer above Exell failed to post his own shot

I think I understand.....

This is the way I take a "screenie".

1. Pause the Sim when you think you have a nice shot.
2. Click on the "Print Screen" Button on your keyboard, may also be called "Prt Scrn", only use this ONCE and then follow the next procedures. This copys the picture to your clipboard.
3. Open up your Paint Programme.
4. Open a NEW canvas. In some programmes the shortcut is "CTRL" + "N"
5. Press "CTRL" + "V", this pastes the picture from your clipboard to your new canvas.
6. Resize the image and reduce the quality using your paint programme and then Save.
7. Upload to SimV for all to enjoy......usually!

For more details on image resizeing, quality reducing and different software available to perform this, look at the "stickey" posta at the top of the Raw Screenshots page. This post is just to help you get going.

Good luck  ;D

just hit printscreen when you have a Ati or Nvidia... with older voodoo's you could have problems when using glide... because it will give you the desktop.

No no no pete, I didn't forget how  to post my own...

I just put in those brakets with the URL and that showed up at a broken picture....

Well now im glad i wrote ALL that for nothing...YES
