Welcome, welcome to my first thread here at chorrol!

Here you can post screenies of anything in Oblivion. I´ll start by showing you my character Lothran from various points in Cyrodiil.

Outside Wildeye Stables

In his Bravil home with his pet Wolfie

The oldest pic of Lothran I have atm. He´s standing east of Kvatch

i still have no clue how to take sreenshots , i hate it , if i can figure how how to use mods ( i dont want to talk about it) then i should be able to do screenies


i think i need to change somethign in the ini file , but i dont know what , and i dont know where the screenshots are stored after , can anybody help ?

what armour are you using lorthan by the way?

You can do what I do, download and use FRAPS. Very easy to use, I promise
The pictures you take with Fraps are stored in your Fraps map at the C: directory by default (I think), unless you choose to put it someplace else when you install.


He´s using Saviour´s Hide together with leather greaves and boots, he´s been doing that for years now. Only the enchantment on the greaves and boots have varied.
When he´s in Bruma though he only uses fur and the enchantment on that has varied as well.

yes but how do you actually use fraps in game ? the same key as vanilla shots ?

And in documents will create a new file with the single screenshot ? sorry but i like to get the facts straight.

By default you press F10 whenever you want to take a picture. Of course, you have to have Fraps up and running. It´s not enough to install it.

i find this very confusing

It´s not. Give it a try

Meanwhile, here are some more from me

At the fine store with the terrible name

A foggy day in the Talos Plaza

Honey, I shrunk the elf!

It was sooo long ago that Lothran was a bluehair. Buffy gets all tingly every time she sees snowflakes dancing in Lothie's white hair. Shrunk the elf? Yup, right down to Buffy size!

Here's one of mirocu's faves of Buffy. I call it Desert Nights.

how do i get fraps "up and running" if you can tell me i MIGHT give it a go.

She warms my frozen, Nordic heart!


Well, when you have it installed you get an icon on your desktop. Simply double-click it and you´re good to go

so basically :

download it of this place

double click the desktop to get it runnin'

press f10 in-game

go on desktop and photo will be on a new - stand alone file ? * ie say it will be a file like "my photos " that i can click and then paste on here

is that the prcedure , sorry its just i like to know what im actually doing before i just download things

and it is free right ? im not keen to subscribe to anything

You got it


To find your pictures you go to the location on your harddrive where the Fraps map is. For me it´s C:/Fraps, and in that map you find the Screenshot map where they end up.

It´s free and there´s no subscribing to anything

ok i have the pictures but how can i show them on here?

I´ll PM you.

HERE IT IS , I DID IT

By the way THIS is stacy

Great! You did it!

Nice pictures, flower! Happy you got it to work! It wasn´t too hard, was it?

Another old picture of Lothran

"Nice place don´t you think, mr Wolfie?"

No , thanks again for helping its great , from now on i hope for many happy pictures to come

i have two great chracters running up and i will be posting more pics for you to look at , thank you .

You are very welcome

Here Lothran is in the painted world!
Ah! So much green!
Beautiful sunset

WOO HOO! Now you've opened up a whole new world, my first time playing after getting FRAPS I took like 250 screens and made three vids, lol.

Great looking Dunmer! (or is he Drow?)

mirocu, loved the cozy shot of Lothran in his Bruma cabin. I'm so glad he got that pesky fireplace working. And the one of him in the deep forest is wonderful!

Thank you! But, ehm... I don´t know what Drow is..


Thank you, my friend! That forest pic is one of my favorites, I had to post it here too!

My knowledge is admittedly limited here, but I think Drow are Dark Elves with platinum blonde hair. Example:


http://id10tech.deviantart.com/art/Drow-Wa...-nara-116077497

I don´t think that name applies to TES Dunmer Even if it does, I´ve never heard it anywhere in TES lore.

Lothran´s hair was blue from the start as you can see. I changed it to white after a few years to demonstrate his long life and wisdom. Even though elves don´t age like we do, I thought that was the best way of showing it

I like that idea! On the Drows - Nexus has pages of mods for Drows in Oblivion, that's why I asked if Lothran was one. Either way, he's cool looking.

I believe Drow Elves are a product of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons / Forgotten Realms. They are a non-playable race, for example in Baldurs' Gate II. They are generally an underground matriarchal race that is regarded as evil. There are exceptions, for one of the most famous Drows is named Drizzt Do'Urden and is a decidedly 'good' ranger.

I'm no expert at all on Drow Elves but I hope that helps.

I don't think any of the Nexus mods have the Drow as evil, although some are more sexually oriented than others (example: AlienSlof's Drows are extraordinarily well endowed, and the "Giant Melon" Drows in another mod - no explanation needed on them).

I am such a geek. Check it out, I have my Monster Manual right here! Let's see if I can read it. Wow, they used such small type in some of these books. *gets glasses* that's better.

Drow Elves: These are only legend. They purportedly dwell deep beneath the surface in a strange subterreanean realm. The drow are said to be as dark as faeries are bright, and as evil as the latter are good. Tales picture them as weak fighters but strong magic-users.

On topic: I'm really liking these pics! Why do people mostly post them as links, though? If we have the option to just put full pictures right in our posts, why does everybody use links?

1. I was so hoping you would stop by, figuring your knowledge of D&D would vastly eclipse mine. Thank you!

2. Several reasons to use links for screenshots. First, posting images directly in the post slows down loading times and if there are lots of them, it can get jerky as the thread loads. And bigger images make the problem much worse. Secondly, if you use links, you can post big images with no problems. Thirdly, lot of images in the posts makes for lots of scrolling to see what's new.

I was going to use that second one to play a Drow character. Then I saw those melons. Ugh.

That mod does give you the option for smaller breasts, just don't install the giant ones and the regular ones will be there. She is beautiful, but I agree with you on the size of the ones shown, they were obscenely huge.

why do you need a mod to play this "drow" , you can just guve a dark eld white - platinum hair in the creation menu ...sloved?

If you are talking about Lothran, he isn't a Drow. He is a Dunmer with beautiful platinum blonde hair.

The Drow mods have unique other things besides their looks (strengths/attributes/spells, etc - and in the two mods mentioned above: uniquely sized body parts).

No , i was talking about drows.

i have known lorthan for quite a long while and im guessing mirocu got the hair throw custo, colour rather than a mod

just use custom colour , you can get any colour you like then .

And if the drows only - what was it ? - "unique" feature beside the hair is there breasts they dont sound very interesting at all .....

They are a race mod, add Drow to your game and give you the ability to play one. They have unique other things besides their looks (strengths/attributes/spells/etc) and usually some white body tatooing.

I've never used any of the Drow mods, but I love their Ayleid styled architecture and buildings (beautiful deep purple to black colored) - and have used the meshes for these in some of my own stuff.

Ha ha you are welcome. Any time you have a question on DnD, I've still got several books in my library.



Thanks again. I'm not planning on posting full pics in these threads, so no worries there, but I occasionally like posting full size pics in my stories. I don't like having to open new windows while I'm reading a story, it's distracting. But I also don't have many pics to post anyways.

Admittadly it takes time to get the pictures of the stone ...but so far im quite happy with how it is going..

Thank you! I´m glad you like him


Yuuuuup!™
Sorry Saga, I will still post linkys


Actually it´s pure snow white. A shade even whiter than platinum blonde

It is beautiful in both color and style. I really like the care you have shown and your ideas behind them in Lothran, really well thought out! It makes it clear Lothran is important to you, (like Buffy is to Acadian, Maxical is to me, etc).

Thank you for your kind words!

Yes, since Lothran is my only Oblivion character we have been through so much over the years and that means alot to me. I have connected with him in a way I didn´t think I would.
But I also feel a connection to dear Buffy in fact. She has a big heart in that small body of hers and I can´t help thinking about how such a fragile little creature can survive against all the necrodudes and vampires she´s hunting. Good thing she majored in Illusion and Marksmanship

This character of yours, Maxical. Can you post me a picture or two?

^ Nice one, mirocu. It's Cyrodiil! In all its generic cookie-cutter glory! And I would not have it any other way!

I´m with you, fellow generic-lover!

Here are some shots of my character, Falador. Most of them are altered but I included some in colors as well.

Falador I
Falador II

At the shrine
By a campfire

The arrival
Sea strider
Shadowmere, Falador, Rebel

EDIT:
Nice shots, mirocu, Savior's hide suits Lothran very well.

Maxical has been my character since 2006 when Oblivion first came out. And I fully agree with you about the connection!


Maxical

For some reason I expected a guy!

Looks like a heavily modded character, even looks like her own race. Am I wrong here?

This first one is particularly disturbing! ... Nice to finally put a face to all the madness!



Is this one of those half-human half-Khahiit mods?

It is actually just one mod, a race mod called Kawa Khajiits. They overlaid Imperial features and Khajiit, then added some creative things (example, her ears move with her mood or when she is talking to someone, her tail is longer than the vanilla Khajiit tail and has more movement to it. She has her own voice for battle cries, and has head tracking - which I love).

Other than that, the only other thing modded on her is a voice mod so she speaks at different times in game. She speaks in a Scottish accent (The voice of "Annah of the Shadows" from Planescape Torment - Sheena Easton) and she sings/hums when she is walking around.




(same answer)

I like to alter his shots because I think it suits his atmosphere better.

Although this sepia shots made him look much more scary as he is in fact. Without his hood and in normal daylight he looks like ordinary pale Bosmer with a blank look and dark circles under his eyes. But then again, it is almost impossible to see him without his hood, because he wears it all the time, except when going to sleep or when swimming.
