Screenshots #117


Last Thread:- http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=998316

How do I enable and take screenshots of my game?

You'll need to edit your Morrowind.ini file (see brief how-to below). But first, back up the file in case you make a mistake, or if you later want to restore it to its original state.

(by DragoonWraith)

Enabling Screenshots:

Open Morrowind.ini (C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind\Morrowind.ini in the default Windows installation), and you'll see a lot of code. In the eighth, largest section under [General], there is a line which says

Screen Shot Enable=0

Switch that to

Screen Shot Enable=1

Now, in Morrowind, press the Print Screen button on your keyboard (the button is sometimes hard to find, often you need to use the Shift key). You'll see a message which tells you that the screenshot has been created. It can be found in your main Morrowind folder.

(Addendum by ~Ninja Monkey)

To extend on the tutorial for taking screenshots above, you should change your pictures from a bitmap image to a jpeg image if you will be hosting your screenshots on the internet. To do this, open them up in Paint or any other photo editing program, go to "Save As..." and save as a jpeg file. Do NOT simply edit the file name from Screenshot#.bmp to Screenshot#.jpg. That only changes the file name, not the file type.

The Road. Not sure where too, but not pleasant. :P

Edit: Ah. My mistake. Mods, feel free to get rid of this post.

@peachykeen
Really beautiful atmospheric shot! Looks almost like some oil painting. Awesome. :goodjob:

I take the liberty to repost some of my shots from http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1014166&pid=14672595&st=0.
Ok, here are some of my favourite scenic random shots.
Enjoy! ^_^

AFAIK, this is the continuation of the Character Screenshot Thread; perhaps Rohugh forgot to make the thread
specifically named for such or he generalised it as a place for all screens to have a home (character, scenic,
or otherwise) :shrug: .

seeing as the last 116 threads have just been characters, we should probably keep it that way :)

Then add it in the "General" section where it should be and all will be well (after setting the 0 to 1, that is) :) .

Picture the character with blonde hair, a silver cross necklace, and carrying a wooden stake (affectionately known as "Mr. Pointy") :) .

Well, I HAD successfully managed to escape the claws of Morrowind by uninstalling it several months ago.

That is, until now.

So here, have some screenshots of Seyda Neen, from my new install.
