Why do people waste the Time to edit out the windower plug-ins on their Screen shots? It is still so obvious your using the program. Also the names of the characters in the SS. If the person did not want to have a screen shot of them talking they would not talk at all. Just because almost all of us have a camera phone and can SS with out the use of fraps or windower. I just find it something to b($%^ about cause it is pointless IMO.

Actually, you can take full window screen shots without Windower. If you put the game in windowed mode, just click on the taskbar, hit the "Print Screen" button, then open up Paint and hit Paste. Viola, ss with chat logs and all.

It looks better, that's why.

For example, this would look shitty w/ windower plug in popping up everywhere

Btw it takes no time to "edit them out". Its a setting in windower. You can simply turn it off and the plug ins disappear during screen shots. Takes 10 secs to do and you only have to do it once.

I don't know what you are talking about.

Windower does not exist, it's only a rumor spread by WoW players.

No one would ever violate the SE ToS service that way.

It's just an elaborate hoax somebody came up with years ago, there is no unofficial Windower.

But yeah, sysrq bind screenshot hide png in the init.txt file or something like that hides everything but Timestamp. Makes your pics look way better without all those plugins cluttering the picture.

I've been tempted over the years to revoke FFXIAH.com access for anyone that complains about Windower being an unfair advantage or otherwise harming the game. On a one-strike basis.

Y'know, given they were both originally made by the same people.

I would consider it a favor -- kindly helping folks on their paths to internal consistency, or something.

Or make an auto-ban feature. That'd work too.

It's about Windower, and thus it must be a complaint!

I gotta complain on how adding a full-sized screenshot to a thread causes issues since we have to scroll like crazy left and right in order to read anything in the thread. >.>

Just set your resolution to 1680x1050, it fits perfectly. :3

I think I'll have to bookmark Jaerik's comment to throw into the inevtiable 6+ "Windower == hax" threads that pop up every month.

You can also set it to turn off names, turn on shadows, set drawdistance, etc and then set them to normal after the SS is taken. Makes for some nice screenshots without all the lag while you're actually playing.
