A tribute to a lost friend

[Mechsword]

I haven't been playing this character long, and honestly I expected her to die a lot sooner then this, or be reduced to a useless and depressed blob of an Elf.

But someone kept her from giving in and made her feel hope long enough to somehow find a way.  A small shrine, as fleeting as it may be, is the least she could do for now.


RIP in peace Alto.

MY SHAME IS INFACT COMPLETE. It didn't upload properly. At all. I go now to skulk in self pity.

Unless someone can help me fix my shame by walking me through a fix.

You may need to convert the screenshot in the NWN folder from the TGA filetype to JPG first. Instructions below (use IrfanView):

To do this we'll first need to convert the screenshots from the Targa file type to something more reasonable.

If you don't already have an image editing tool (aside from MS Paint, which doesn't supprt .TGA file types), either grab IrfanView or head over here and snatch GIMP. The former is a lot smaller and easier to use, but lacks mostly all of the features available in the latter, save from the most basic ones (crop, scale and a few select effects). It's nonetheless excellent for what we'll be using it for, so if you don't plan on using the program for anything else don't bother getting GIMP.

When you've read through the above ramblings, convert the screenshot to either .GIF or .JPG. I personally prefer the latter as .GIF only supports 256 colours. With that said, however, the diversity of colour shades in EfU is so small that, unless the focus of the screenshot is on specific detail (like spell effects), this shouldn't be a real problem. Your biggest concern should be the size of the converted image; think of the poor 56k'ers out there. Generally, in this case, .GIF is the way to go.*

Or if you're an utter simpleton on Windows 7 like me, you can open the TGA in PictureViewer, then just copy-paste the screenshot into MS paint, then "Save As" it in JPG.
