@SeV - I DEMAND CUTE KITTEN PICTURES! If you have time between the feedings, that is.

I'm trying to find my cam Kalia-bear... I'll get some soon, I promise If I can't find my cam I'll go buy a new one

Now THAT'S dedication to my kitten-pic demandingness! Buying a new camera!

BTW, anyone able to get Oblivion Real Estate to load? It's just a blank page. Anyone know what's going on?

A quick side note:
Anyone have any tips for getting Trollf?s trick to work? Maybe Trollf himself wouldn?t mind answering this?

From the Screenshooter's Guides thread:

Edit: Nice recap, Kalia! I will post yours to the SS Guides thread too as it has much more detail. Thanks! So now:

Speaking of the SS Guides - I have got permission from the main contributors (Shadow and Divine Avenger) to post it here. Many others have also contributed, and most of them also post here - so I will assume none of you will mind it coming here. I still need to PM Hannah at TES and ask her permission, as Shadow also includes her work in his part of the Guides. Then I can maintain it here - and someday even index all the contents of the thread too. Where should the Guides go when I do finalize permissions to post it here?

Post it here in the SS section

You're very welcome. When I re-read the original guides posting, it seemed just as clear and perhaps simpler than what I posted - but when I first read it, I somehow skipped the ctrl-alt-del out part, and was constantly freezing up. I just need things *one*. *step*. *at*. *a*. *time*.

Really - Kisa needs a cool but simple & not-script-heavy home base! How dare ORE be down!

[cyborgakadjmoose]

Thanks for the suggestions Kalia.

And thanks for the links greatfool1; I totally forgot that was posted on the old screenshot thread.

Hopefully I'll be showing some tricked out screenshots soon!

[SeV]

@ chiggles: sorry chiggles, I completely skipped over your post? I'm not sure how old they are, I have to keep them for 2-3weeks and I think kittens leave their moms at 8 weeks, so... I'm guessing they're 5-6 weeks old?

Luckily I have hard-wood floors in my house so it's easy to clean up their little furball mess.....

[trollf]

Ok, here are my 2 cents ;]

3 Type "tm" without the quotes, hit "enter" -- this toggles the menus/hud off for a nice clean screenshot

I think there's no need to type 'tm'. In fact I don't type this at all. Flying camera with frozen action has disabled hud by default, at least that's how it exactly works on my PC under XP system.

14 In the Task Manager, Oblivion should be highlighted. Click on "Switch To"
15 FOR ME, THIS DOES NOT BRING OBLIVION BACK UP - I now hit Alt-Tab to complete the "Switch To" process.

For me it usually works. Otherwise I just click (but only once) an oblivion's minimized window at bottom taskbar.

Kisa needs a cool but simple & not-script-heavy home base! How dare ORE be down! :(

How about a camp (high in the mountains) with small cosy cave? ^_^

@ Von Stahlriven - Congrats! Heading off to college now?

Well... Since I just graduated from one, I don't think that I should do it again.

Still, thanks for the cookies.

Next stop would be the Polytechnic Uni, after a year in the army.

@Alienslof: Awesome painting you've got there!

Edit: Ack! Oblivion has failed me! It crashes when I try to go into the Load menu... And this bug came out of the thin air, as my Oblivion was working perfectly until now...

Damn! I dont want to re-install everything again...

@Luchaire - I'm loving Lydia! I agree, the purple is really more goth. She's looking very good - and I agree with whoever fish-slapped you, presuming lameness is silly on your part! Your work is usually the opposite of lame - in fact, you qualify for awegreatstandingesqueness! (The longer that word gets, the shorter my love affair with it will be.) By the way, if you haven't already done so, you can use Scanti's merged teeth mesh & then set that nose ring to the other teeth slot in the CS, freeing up the tail/amulet slot for other jewelry/decoration.

Thanks for that suggestion. I'll check into that now - if it's not too complicated, I'll do that, because I definitely could use the extra body slot.

It's super-easy - I had no problems, so it must be! Just put the merged teeth meshes & textures in their folders - I think it might come with an .esp, but I don't use that - then open up your custom race in the CS, point the (I think it's "lower" that's actually first) slot to that, then point the other slot to the nose ring meshes/textures. Worked like a charm for Pip - in fact anyone else who's interested in doing that could take a look at her. And the merged teeth mod also has khajit, argonian & orc teeth. I've got Kisa's ears set to the teeth slot, so they show up when she's wearing that wig. Also makes them show up when she's wearing helmets, which can be either cute or just odd.

Trollf - If I don't "tm", the "screenshot.bpm created" message shows up on the screen & stays there. But for others, that'll definitely save a step!

Von Stahlriven - are you sure you didn't accidently uncheck an .esm? I'm sure you already looked at that, but just in case . . . .

[Hector the Hooded]

Or you may have updated some .ESP and the .ESM isn't updated.

[Luchaire]

Worked like a charm, Kalia.

You win a cookie!

[kalia]

Yay! Cookies!

So glad it worked, Luchaire. Had a chance to check out your most recent pics of Lydia - she's looking great! If you *can* - I would assume this is super-hard - having dark nail polish would really add to the whole look. I love what you've done with the eyeshadow sweeping out to the side, and you really picked some good outfits for her. If you've got the BAB black bra that uses a ring slot, that'd look great (assuming the clipping is minor) under the trench coat. The goths I knew (now long ago) in high school always wore lots of layers. You were totally right to go with that hairstyle - very gothy, very fitting. When those multiple-ring bracelet/slave bracelets come out, those would really fit her too!

Oooh... I didn't even think of nail polish!

*heads back into Photoshop*

At this rate, I'll never actually get to play her.

Wha... ?

Only thing in the near past that involved editing one of my esp's was when I chanced a few things in my customised cosmetic compilation...

It did work at least once after that...

@kalia: I looked into my OBMM and "oblivion.esm" seemed to be checked...

Any more suggestions ?

I understend now. I use FRAPS and it doesn't generate any messages and can take shots with AA (the most important setting for me).

[Luchaire]

Lydia now sports black nail polish. Now can I go play her, Kalia?

[Von Stahlriven]

Hmm... It didn't crash after I removed all of my saves(whole folder including autosaves & quicksaves)...

Edit: The cause of the crash seems to be Lilith's save.

It works with every single other save, but when I add the "sneaky.ess" into the folder it crashes...

Damn it! Is there a way to repair a savegame ?

If it's due to bloating (and perhaps other reasons as well) - Wrye Bash'll do the trick!

@ Luchaire - wait, you *play* this game? You mean there's more to it than just character creation?

[Von Stahlriven]

If it's due to bloating (and perhaps other reasons as well) - Wrye Bash'll do the trick!

Bloating? That would be strange as Sneaky.ess is only 2,3mb's big and there's only around 55 hours of total playing time... *shrug*

Wrye bash is one of the programs that I've somehow managed to ignore for so long. I will download it soon and try what it can do.

Thanks.
