Deleted UserBob, if you don't feel like going through the whole Fraps rigmarole, you might want to do what I did:

This tutorial was written by APY, last modified 2006-08-15 16:30:05.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion allows you to take screenshots. However, you need to change a configuration file in order for the function to work.

Start Notepad. Click 'File', 'Open' and browse to the Oblivion user settings folder (default: My Documents\My Games\Oblivion). Select 'Files of type: all files' to show all files in the folder. Then double-click 'oblivion.ini' to open the file.

Press CTRL + F to bring up the 'Find' dialog window. Search for the text 'ballowscreenshot' (without the apostrophes). It will come up with the line

bAllowScreenShot=0

Change this to read the following:

bAllowScreenShot=1

Save the file and exit Notepad.

While playing the game, you can now press the Print Screen button on your keyboard to make a screenshot. It will save the file to C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion and display a notification.

Fraps rigamarole?   Hit F10 and it saves your screenie.  Nothing simpler or more high quality that I've found.  Irfanview does it too.

whatever system you use, taking pics in Oblvion realy enhances the experience ...and it always shows what a wonderful world it truly is, still amazes me how beuatifully it conveys the sense of being in that universe...and I think it is one of the finest game worlds yet made.

The built-in ini-editing feature doesn't work for me.  I know how to edit an ini file, too

I always edit by hand, just make the changes and be sure to save with a program that saves to the right format. I think you just have to change a 0 to a 1 for the screenshot to be enabled.

I am puttering around in Oblivoin again, and enjoying it. I see so much more now that i have learned some of the modding and use of the Construction set, i know more of how much work it took to create everything

Thanks for all the info people, I got unexpectedly busy, and didn't visit the site for a while. But I'm applying the tweaks right away, and will hopefully post some screenies by the weekend, if not before.

I've been doing some quick sessions of gaming whenever I've had time, and wow, does this world seem large! I've visited both the mage's guild and the warrior's guild, and there seems to be no objection in me becoming both a mage and a warrior. Well, I've always enjoyed playing a Battlemage whenever possible, so I'll be shooting for that!   [smiley=happy.gif]     8-)

Chris, that killer dungeon I told you about is indeed part of the Lost Spires/Archeology Guild quest that I happened to stumble into.

I've been playing nothing but Oblivion, with Spires and all the official expansions loaded.  It's a nearly total different experience since I first played it months ago.  I'm now playing more with blades and not staves and it is great fun.

I admit that I'm use the console codes to get a few implements to give me an edge, but not too much.  And I'm sure I'll use god mode at the Gate runs (which I HATE).  

I did this so I could "train" better for Witcher, but I'm enjoying Oblivion much much more in a different mind set and skill set.  This means that my next game will be probably be a replay of Fallout 3.

I had to find a cheap inn in Chorrol first, and while there i found a new companion, a Light Elf named Elanya, and she says she will help me out on the adventures...considering the perils i already found in the first underground Spire Quest not a bad idea to have some help.

Just found a cheap room for the night, will carry on to the next Spire quest soon...

Because when we were looking for a cheap inn in Chorrol we got attacked by a nasty bandit-necromancer and it took a good bite out of me before i and my companion put it down. Havent had time to do the healing spell as it was late and we needed to find the cheapo inn before closing time. I did not have enough gold for the more spendy inn ....but funnily enough, once i checked the corpse of the dead bandit (the town guards did not mind me doing that)....i made enough money for both a good room AND a good meal for both of us. Funny how things turn out.

I've been working for the Blades lately.  I'm already head of the Mages Guild and Fighters Guild. I'm putting off the main quest to enjoy myself.  Not sure where to go after that. Maybe the Thieves Guild, which I never tried.  I wouldn't mind a lovely companion at all.  Can she die?

Nope she is essential which means she will continually heal herself.

so she wont die.

you can do a search on TesNexux for Five Cute Elfs, you have to add the CM comapnions mod , then the Cute Elf race and finally teh five Cute Elfs, i will make a pack of em on my archive too.

http://www.filefront.com/16858561/CuteElfPack.rar/

One stop shopping for the Cute Elf
 you get five choices, each has their own abilities:

Name: death-knowz's character Valeria a Cute Elf CM Partner plus 4 other girls by Acidoangel
Version: 1.0
Date: 5/13/2008
Category: Companions
Homepage: http://www.freewebs.com/divineavenger/index.html


Description
===========
This is death-knowz's Valeria a Cute Elf CM Partner completely based off of the awesome CM Partners Mod from Cutthroat Mods by Blackie
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7819
A lot of questions can be answered at the CM partner creators mod release url above.


As a last minute decision I decided why not add more cute elves to this mod.  So there are 4 more added from Acidoangel's saves. Remember you don't have to use them all.  Just leave the one's in the tavern that you don't wish to use or you can use a console command to get rid of them forever from your game. Hit the ~ button then click on the one you want to get rid of.  Then type disable and hit the enter key.  Poof gone.....


Requirements
============
CM Partners Mod Basic - Download and install the latest files here:
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7819
(The only files needed to run this these Partners is the CM Partners.esp and the CM Partners.esm and of course the .esp from this mod)

Download and install this mod that is not included. Cute Elves race just download the "Cute Elf - RAR version" just the meshes and textures folders are the only files needed for this mod.
Version v1.1.2 - RAR - include better head texture

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16120


Latest oblivion patch.
http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm


Details
=======
Valeria (death-knowz) is an Archer class character.

Elenya is a Knight class character.

Maeva is a Warrior class character.

Naemya is an Assassin class character.

Meliane is a Thief class character.

They are staying in Chorrol at "The Oak and Crosier Tavern".



****For questions on differnt body replacer textures make sure to read Acidoangel's word doc ument readme.****


Install
=======
1. Install the CM Partners Mod Basic first use the 1.8 or above.
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7819

2. Install the Cute Elves race 2nd.    http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16120
   
3. Install the contents of this mod next.

4. It is OK to overwrite both the CM companion .esp and .esm and sound folder and any other folders as well.


This mod
========
1. Extract the files to a temporary location (your PC's desktop for example).

2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary.

3. Copy file DAValeriaCuteElf.esp to "Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data"

4. Start the Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a check mark beside DAValeriaCuteElf.esp, CM Partners.esm, and CM Partners.esp and any other CM Partner esps that you want to add to your game.

5. Remember Blackie's CM Partners mod basic is needed for this mod to function. Blackie has supplied excellent documentation that explains most of the options for this companion mod so please take the time and read it.


Misc.
=====
If you are using my other companions Tamara, Aliyah, Raewyn, Aanila, Gimli, or Gandalf it is OK to overwrite the CM Partners.esm, and the CM Partners.esp as they are both compatible with one another. You can use the Party commands now too.
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12184
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12048

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12134
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12161
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12299

A great thing about this companion is that it is completely compatible with all of the Animation mods out there. Example: trollf's Actors in charge. The animation spells work well.

Here are some great animation mods.

Thanks, Chris.  You know how much I love Elves!  
 

Just finished the Lost Spires.  Wow, tough ending.  It seems to ignore god mode and no-collision. So I did it straight up. Luck played its part and now I'm head of my third Guild.  

Onward to the Thieves Guild and Shivering Isles. I have one more quest in the main quest, which I'm putting off as long as possible.

I've been sneaking in a few mods, which are working perfectly. Nothing as ambitious as you, but I'd like to try a bunch eventually.  

Thanks for all the links.

Deleted UserPity I have so many other games lined up - you guys are really making me drool a bit for the Lost Spires mod. Tell you what, I'm going to carry on with my Gothic 2 right away, and stop nattering; and once that is done, I want to try lost Spires too!  
...and maybe a few other mods besides)
