Burrie Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Hey, As most of you have probably seen, swknights.com has several very lovely wallpapers available for Knights of the Old Republic. I've personally been using these ever since they were released... most of them are extremely cool, especially those of the Rakata and the Sith wallpaper. Now, I just had a neat idea... wouldn't it be interesting to see what kind of wallpapers we could create of our own heroes/villains, using Bioware's wallpapers as an inspiration? I had been meaning to get a new wallpaper as it is, so after a few screenshots and a bit of Paintshop Pro-ing, I created the following result... Wallpaper of Leru Vl'Dor, Jedi Consular (1024*768) Wallpaper of Leru Vl'Dor, Jedi Consular (800*600) I personally must say that I rather like how it turned out. There are a few things which must be touched up, and the portrait of the character seems to be kinda stretched(which is inevitable because of the small images in the game), but the end result does look nice. It makes quite a fancy wallpaper. If anyone's interested, I have created a template of the wallpaper which can be found here. It may need a bit of tweaking to get everything right, but I would like to see if anyone else can make a cool wallpaper out of their character. Looking forward to see what you folks can create.

eidospsogos Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 hey, great idea. i'd like to give it a try myself. so, feel like giving a brief how to get images out of the game tutorial? if you have the chance to do so, i'd love to do a little work with this myself.

Burrie Posted December 13, 2003 Author Share Posted December 13, 2003 so, feel like giving a brief how to get images out of the game tutorial? Well, I can be very quick, brief and blunt about it... in the game, press the 'print screen' button on your keyboard. Now go to your favorite application to edit images, and press 'paste'. Please note that this method might bring a few problems with it and you might have to retry it a few times. I'm not sure why, but sometimes I made a picture where a few appendages of my character were missing or he wasn't on the screen at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 hmmm. the old print screen method huh. that would probably be the biggest part of why your game portrait icon is being pixelated so. though considering i was asking you how to get images out, i know of no better way at the moment. i will try to look into it.

Tito Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Here's my first character (1024x768) I'll make one of my second character soon (one that's 100 times better) Thanks for the template! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Luckmann Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I did my own wallpaper after my 1st run (well, I did a few planets as a goody, but I messed up). I just had to make a wallpaper out of this screen, its just so.. so.. *ump* How/where do I upload images? I dont have anywhere to store it.

Burrie Posted December 13, 2003 Author Share Posted December 13, 2003 From what I've heard upload.org is a good place. Nice wallpaper, Tito. Fits right next with the other wallpapers, if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Fisher Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Wow nice background Burrie:) I might try it sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Dravis Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Nice wallpapers everyone...I'll have to try it myself. Thanks for the template Burrie. Does anyone know what font the title is in? A tip on making the image less pixelated: Turn on antialiasing to 2x or more when trying to get a screenshot. It will make them turn out much better. How to take multiple screenshots without the PRNTSCRN + Paste trick: Open the kotor.ini file (it is under Lucasarts/SWKotOR). Go down to [Game Options] to where it says EnableScreenShots=0. Change the 0 to a 1. Save the file, then close it. When ingame, press the PRNTSCRN key. It will save in .tga format in the folder /SWKotOR.

Sam Fisher Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I think you can record your game on a VHS while playing with XBOX. Otherwise, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 apart from taking a pic of your tv screen, if you have a digital video camera, you can plug it in and capturw whatever you like, (for hours and hours if thats what you wanted) and then extract the frames you liek when you edit it......

Burrie Posted January 1, 2004 Author Share Posted January 1, 2004 While not essentially a player character wallpaper, here is a Darth Revan wallpaper I made which I made in a bit of a hurry at the request of someone at the Bioware forums. I'll most likely change the horrid background on the 'face picture' tho'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 yeah i imagine it'd be hard to make a good revan wallpaper. how much can your character resemble him by the end of the game? don't you get his robes and mask at the star forge if you have darkside mastery?

Clemme w/Stick Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 You only get his robes. Check my wallpaper for details. -Clemme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 well that sucks. maybe there's a mask somewhere in the game that resmbles it very closely. still i guess you wouldn't be hooded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemme w/Stick Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 I agree. Revans mask was strictly for the plot. Oh well, once I saw him without mask I new it was me. . -Clemme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
