    I use ArkInventory myself.
    I don't know how I handled it when all the ridiculous amount of quest junk was mixed in with my normal stuff.

    They realllly need to add a quest bag.

    5 Bag mods. I roll with combuctor because it has an All, Equipment and Quest tab, and further sorting by rarity.

    Actually i think it was ArkInventory I was using. I don't remember it's been like 2 years :P

    Could be ArkInventory, but you might have used EngBags/EngInventory. ArkInventory was only created a little over two years ago to replace that atrocity that was EngBags. (Not that ArkInventory doesn't have its own issues, but EngBags was terrible, especially when it came to the code base.)

    Not sure why, but all the screenshots I take in-game do not look as good as it actually does playing it. Nonetheless, here is purdy picture I took...

    t blindside: lotro's screenshot thing saves as lossy jpeg. I decided on downloading fraps and using that to take screenshots and save them as .bmp so I can save them properly later.

    Does print screen work in lotro?

    If it does, just hit that, then paste it into your image program. Completely lossless!

    If print screen is what the game uses to save a screenshot, try unbinding the command and see if that lets you use the windows print screen functionality.

    Did you try contacting Turbine about wanting to take your screenshots at a higher quality?

    WoW saves as jpegs too, but it's at a pretty high quality so I've never heard anyone complaining about it. Pretty sure they originally saved as tga, but changed it at some point.

    Source games save as tga by default too, which is completely lossless, and also gives larger than necessary files.

    Would be really nice if Windows had a key combo to save an image to a file on the desktop. OSX lets you use some finger gymnastics to get a nice png of whatever's on the screen.. seems to cause less problems than the print screen method.

    Warhammer does the same, at least they offer a 'super screenshot' thingimajjig :P Anyway, Fraps is a nice tool to have on your PC anyway, so it's not that annoying for me.

    ...just fucking retarded on Turbine's side.

    why, in my day we didn't know what antialiasing was, and when someone hacked a driver to enable it, it'd melt our GeForce256s.

    The upside is, jaggies generally only cause problems in still shots. For most people, turning AA on results in a perceptible framerate drop for no significant benefit. You really gotta crank up the AA to melt the jaggies out entirely, and by that point you run the risk of losing detail in all the smudging.

    I don't care if it's inaccurate! Every time I try max AA, everything feels muddy.

    AA is beautiful. Also orphans are tasty.

    The wolf still looks a bit jaggey because of crappy compression. :(

    Looks like your game was filmed in sincerity vision, like they did in old movies when they had closeups on a star actress, tears welling up in the corner of her eyes.

    You can set screenshot format and quality.

    /console screenshotFormat [tga | jpg | jpeg]
    /console screenshotQuality [1-10]

    There's no png, but eh, tga should suit any needs.

    Just be aware that if you set it to quality 10, it might take a REALLY LONG TIME to take a screenshot, depending on your CPU. It took my computer 20-25 seconds per screenshot. However my computer is admittedly horrible, so your mileage may vary. There's only a minute improvement in quality between 3 and 10 anyway, though, so just use 1, 2, and 3. Default is jpg format, quality 3.

    tga should write pretty fast.. huge files, but they require almost no processing to create.

    Yeah, I meant to mention that I was using quality 10 jpg, not tga. Blizzard's jpg compressor is pretty slow.

    I see what you mean with the screenshot quality. I took this one during the burg quest where you kill mushroom thieves (its a "night time" instance so there is excessive bloom), looked much better in game.

    WAR seems to have a better overall atmosphere than lotro, and I like the architecture more. Lotro is just generic. Absolutely gorgeous and amazing generic, but still generic.

    If Mythic used LOTRO's engine instead of their own, WAR would be so fucking amazing.
