I'm getting a little fed up of no screenshots in previews and such - and the latest excuse what that the person had nowhere to upload them too.

So therefore, I made this little Image uploader script for members at TDC:

www.tdc-image.tk

For you people who don't know how to take screenshots - open your game, hold ALT and press PrntScrn on your keyboard. Open paint, click Edit > Paste - then click File > Save As and change the file type to PNG - then save it, and upload it.

If anybody doesn't post screenshots now - i'm going to find you, and I'll bring all the TDC members with me

Now fixed

Holding ALT when pressing printscrn takes a screenshot of just the game window though. If you just press Printscreen alone it takes a screenshot of your whole screen. I just said hold ALT because some people wouldn't know how to crop images and stuff - so I thought it'd be easier this way

They should have it that previews with no screenshots get rejected and the member that submitted it gets deleted

Notes for newbies:
PNG works best for cartoony stuff, e.g. areas of the same colour.
JPG works best for gradients and photo style/many coloured images.
And don't use Paint, it has crappy filters which will make the whole image look purple or something, if you can save it via Paint Shop Pro or something which is actually decent.

Yeh I would suggest not using paint - but if you don't have anything else, use it. Just don't save as .bmp/bitmap

If you have only Paint, then save it as a bmp, and use Clubsoft's BMP 2 PNG converter. It's a really useful program.
