I'm in your message boards, hosting your pictures

[Eddie]

Hello:

Past few weeks I've been browsing some FFXI boards and gathering screen shots from anyone and everyone. As some of you know on my site I host FFXI Wallpapers, well, I decided to make a FFXI Pictures section to go along with it. There's so many shots out there that I feel people deserve to see, but may never.

By all means, submit ones you have but don't see on my site to me @ mailto:[email protected]

Here's the link to get you there http://nektia.com/ffxipics/1/

Currently at 5 pages and growing, let me know what you think.

P.S. I'm posting this same thread across multiple forums.

ppl need to /names before they take screenshots. Alot of nice ones that would have been 10x better w/o names..

Cool stuff though and woot at some of mine in there! lol

If there was a way to make the windower screen shot function do this, like how it can hide the plug-ins, when you take a screen shot, I would use it.

That's mainly why I don't bother, by the time I turn everything off, the shot is gone.

maybe add a /names command during SS bind?

[Allundaria]

Ya that's a good idea. I hate seeing really nice screenshots ruined by a pile of names and linkshell pearl icons, even the Brandson fonts can't save the composition disruption they cause. Clone stamp can only do so much ;__;

[ono]

I'm not sure how to do that, honestly

I did try adding this in the init.txt file:

bind sysrq screenshot jpg hide /names

But that did not work. I wouldn't really know where to go from here...

[Allundaria]

It's been a while since I've fiddled but I think you would need to make a short script file ala the equipment change txt files. First line would input the /names, and the second line would execute the screenshot command. Third line would then /names again to turn them all back on.

At work at the moment so I can't test the syntaxes

I use Fraps for my screens, never really messed with windower ones yet.

[Sonomaa]

input /names
screenshot png hide
wait 1;
input /names

this works, I use png, havent tried jpg, does it work good? (ie, does it make it look shittastic like before with high compression?)

[Judai]

I just turn names off beforehand. If I'm doing something I think I'll be taking SSs of I turn em off. Just need to think about it beforehand.

My sig, as well as a number of my FFXI pics are done with jpg, so if you really want to have some sort of judgement passed, take a look yourself:

Granted, I had to up the brightness just a wee bit and the reso is reduced due to webspace constraints.

It owns the chat log with that shittastic stuff, but otherwise its not too bad. I use png personally.

I use jpg's most the time, I am just wondering how exactly you got this to work, Can you maybe PM me an example of the rest of your init file configuration? I have screenshots bound to - sysrq key, and I am having issues trying to get this names thing to work

Post it up here, or CC me on the PM please.

[Kiro]

Heehee, some of my pictures are in there. ^_^


Edit: Quite a few actually. @_@; Haha, I beat Wafik.

[Allundaria]

I used a two-part process that mimics the way most people setup their FF macros to execute windower scripts for equip swaps.

First, create a txt file in your scripts directory; I called mine screenshot.txt. In it all you put Sono's code:

input /names
screenshot png hide
wait 1;
input /names

You can change the png to jpg if you prefer. Then once that's sitting in your scripts folder you edit the init.txt to set the bind on the screenshot key to:

bind sysrq exec screenshot.txt

So now pressing the sysrq key executes the script.

[Dammerung]

or you can put it all on one line

bind sysrq input /names;screenshot png hide;wait 1;input /names;

[ono]

or you can put it all on one line

bind sysrq input /names;screenshot png hide;wait 1;input /names;

Thanks, that worked for me. I do get a second of freeze when using it, but it should not be too bothersome.
