Or Irfanview's batch converter function:
http://www.irfanview.de/ (It's an mostly English site though it has a German domain)

Also, DeathRow', I would suggest either XnView or any other "Image Viewer" available at this location, if you want to convert Graphics Files into different file-formats... :wink:

You can also use Paint Shop Pro

Edit: it stills comes up as One or more pictures has an invalid format (jpg|gif|png|bmp|tif|swf) though i have saved it renamed it as a jpg

You can use the Gimp, its what I use. Its the Linux version of photoshop.

Darth', you will be able to download the GNU Image Manipulation Program at the following address : "http://www.gimp.org/"

PS : By the way, have you succeeded in converting your Targa files into different file-formats thanks to XnView or the other "Image Viewers" I advised to you ?

How do you take photos???

General', while you're playing at Star Wars Battlefront II, you must press the "[Print Screen]" key in order to take screen-captures of the current scene, which are then transcoded into Targa Graphics Files and stored in the "LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\ScreenShots" directory... :wink:

And if the game crashes when you use the print screen, than you could use Fraps...

In that case, I would suggest reading the following steps, Darth' :
  • Open XnView
  • Go in the "Tools > Batch Conversion" menu
  • In the newly-opened window, click on the "Add" button present in the "Source" field
  • Browse your Hard-Drive till the directory containing the Targa files you wish to put into JPEG ones
  • In the "Destination" section, click on the "..." button
  • Select the folder in which all converted Graphics Files will be sent to
  • Chose the file-format you want the above files to be encoded into
  • Click on the "Launch" button in order to proceed to the "Conversion Process"

You're welcome, DeathRow'...

PS : Since this topic does not have many common links with Star Wars Battlefront II, I guess it should have been moved to the "Anything Goes..." section earlier...
