[Fixed] Game makes strange screenshots (3.5.0b2)
« on: 18 April 2011, 10:06:01 »
Hi again.

Game makes very strange screenshots by pressing 'E' at in-game time. I tried to reset configuration to default by the megaglest_configurator or reinstall the game, but it changed nothing.

(click to show/hide)

Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick (Linux 2.6.35-28-generic-pae #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 20:43:15 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux)
Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition x86 (5.2.3790 Service Pack 2 build 3790) with PAE

--opengl-info
win32
(click to show/hide)
linux-x86
(click to show/hide)

--verbose output from linux-x86

I get this in GAE too, so either there must be a bug from the original glest, or it's our computers and we need to update our graphics card drivers.
Probably the later, but eh, I can always prt sc.  :P

My guess is that your screen pixel format is not exactly as as the code for capturing screenshots is expecting.  So a glest bug.

Ok what image format did you use (jpeg??) and what is your exact resoltuion that you run the game in and is it fullscreen or windowed?

I always use fullscreen mode in 1366x768 resolution, because it is native to my laptop. I was already tried to change output format in options, but it changes nothing.

Changing resolution to 1360x768 solves problem with making screenshot, but in this mode everything seemed stratched and lightly blured.

p.s. 'strange' game resolution also cause this problem in windowed mode

Ah, that's the problem there. All resolutions must be a 4:3 ratio due to some age old bug that's been ignored since the beta versions of vanilla Glest.

I have just builded SVN 2110 version. Seems that It has been fixed.

Now screenshots works fine also in 1366x768 resolution.
