guide for snapshots

[Vielka]

ive browsed the guides section and found a guide for taking snapshots in pso. I was wondering if there was a guide for how to import them onto your computer via a router.. Im sure alot of people do it this way, i was just curious.

It would also be nice to find a way to get my pics in clearer. Currently I use the donut client, and while I can't complain,....alright, so I can. I'd just like them to be a little sharper, maybe psopc quality?

yesh, and what I did for another site, hope this helps:

1) you need a BBA, which can be ordered at lik-sang.com for instance, and a crossover RJ45 cable (some people sell them at rip-off prices, beware).

2) I need to know if you are using ICS or a hub, etc.

for ICS (internet connection sharing):
-for windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME
Open the Start menu, select "Run" and type "winipcfg" select the adapter (ethernet card) that goes to the NGC, and you should see its Physical address, IP address, Subnet mask and default gateway (or router, same thing), note down the last three.

-for windows 2000, XP
Open the Start menu, select "Run" and type "cmd" a DOS window opens, type "ipconfig/all". A list of various things will be displayed, find your network card info there, and note down the IP address and subnet mask.

3) Go to Control Panel --> Network Connections, select your network card that goes to the GC and click "properties", select "Internet Protocol TCP/IP" and click "properties" again now enter the IP address and subnet mask you got earlier (gateway is not necessary) and press "ok" until you're out.

4) Go to your Gamecube Network options, do not change your online access settings (PHCP, IP address, DNS, etc.), but on the last page you will be prompted to enter a Proxy server and a Proxy port number.
The Proxy server is the same IP address you got earlier, just re-type it in your GC this time, the port number is 8080 by default, it is unlikely it will change, so use 8080.

5) download PSO Proxy (I'll tell you where if you don't know, it's freeware, anyway, I can post it).

6) Launch PSO Proxy and type 8080 in port number (should be by default), now click "start" (on PSO Proxy, not the Start menu) if "start" and the port number are greyed out, it means it works (if not, I'll answer individually).

7) Go back to PSO, select "Homepage" and then press "A", PSO Proxy should take up, upload your pics. There is a default folder, you can change it.

http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_cool.gif -- optional -- to change the sharpness of pictures set the gamma and sharpness to:
gamma=1.200000
sharpness=0

To make those changes, go to the 'proxy.ini' file that comes with PSO Proxy, click its properties and uncheck the "read-only" attribute. Now you can open it (it opens with Notepad) and do the changes.

Note that settings will give a different result if you are using PAL or NTSC version of the game, and I use PAL

It looks okay to me...


If you are using hub, router, etc. I think it's the same, but let me know if anything does not work, I'll do my best to reply.

I presume this means that those unlucky enough to be using dial-up can't do it?

if youre using dial up, get yourself an USB memcard, copy the snaps onto there (or snap directly on it) and hook it up to your computer via USB.

install psoproxy (make sure there's a folder called "snapshots" in the folder where you installed that program to).
use the software that comes with the USB memcard to save your savegames onto harddisk.

now run psoproxy and drag&drop the savegames onto it. voila. snapshot.

for brightness and details, just alter the ini file of psoproxy - play around with the settings in there a bit.

Another option for getting screenshots is by using a TV capture card, such as the ATI TV Wonder. It can screencap pretty much anything, including cable television and other games/game consoles. It also has an s-video port. Quite useful if you've got one, and I think they run around $70, depending on where you go.

and this is about the only way to do snaps from online quests on cube, or, regarding xbox, at all.

You can use ICS with dial-up, that was what I did before I got broadband, but you need a BBA, of course.
