Re: Subcategories for Games

I have updated the wiki page for "Shock Trooper" and added my screenshots. Yet I am not satisfied with the result, since the bottom line was obviously removed after uploading the files.

So I guess I shall try again, generating an extra blank line from "IrfanView"...

Re: Subcategories for Games

Then this gives me (258x193, offset 35, 53) as my final settings... and these are what I'll now be using. It only looks a bit strange to me that I have to set 258 across (which does make sense = actual screen width + 2), whereas "193 only" does the job for the vertical sizing... But it works fine th...

Re: Subcategories for Games

... I seem to be getting the "best" result with the following settings: 256x192, 36, 53

So I assume these are the ones I should keep using from now on.

Yet I'm also wondering if I will actually be getting the very same result every day with given settings... (i.e. I should... but will I ?)

Re: "Yes, wiki" / 10 (Snarkhunter's Dragon wiki thread)

I cannot answer the licence question, but under British (or at least English and Welsh) law I would have thought that using screenshots to illustrate a game falls under fair use so there should be no problem posting screenshots. Also, though this may need clarification, I don't think that there is ...

Re: Subcategories for Games

Thanks for the new hints. I've been messing around with the software for a while and I am now wondering whether or not it is possible not to have the resulting ".png" files with that 1-pixel black border. So far, the only solution I found was to use 257x192 custom settings, so that nothing will be l...

"Yes, wiki" / 10 (Snarkhunter's Dragon wiki thread)

Chapter 10 - Miscellaneous Questions & Issues, general discussion, etc. I have created a draft for "Shock Trooper" . I even managed to include a screenshot of the titles screen. But I (already) cannot remember which "license" I used in order to have it accepted and stored, and I'm wondering about t...
