[SUGGESTION] PNG format screenshot

Hi, in Nexuiz the screenshots you take with the built-in screenshot command is in JPEG format, this is not good because JPEG uses lossy compression, screenshots should be in PNG format. So i suggest that PNG-screenshots should be a feature of Xonotic.

If i'm not wrong in nexuiz there is a command for the quality .... maybe in xonotic too

Just set "scr_screenshot_jpeg 0", either in the console or manually in the config file.
This way screenshots are saved as uncompressed targa files (.tga).

Code:

scr_screenshot_png 1

to get png files.

Also you can write

Code:

scr_screenshot

and press TAB to get a list of all available commands.

I personally am a fan of the lossless compression on png but jpeg is more popular, i guess.

But PNG should be default, JPEG is a sucky format. BTW, how do i set this? It doesnt work by putting it in config.cfg.

You start the game and open the console (Shift+ESC) and then you type

Code:

scr_screenshot_png 1

and press Enter.

I found out myself, but thanks anyway.

Cool, didn't know that. Is this new, or has it already been implemented in Nex?
Though compression isn't very good. You can reduce the file size considerably when saving it for example with Gimp (~ -40% with compression level 9)
