Any ideas on where I can find these lovely covers? (from the load screens)
Thanks ^_^
I think those are in art.ff, in the paths that start with art\library\interface_scenes\comic_*.
Thanks, I will try that ^_^
Edit: It worked, but sad it's 4 small pictures instead of one large :(
yeah, for some reason they're in parts and you have to stick 'em together to make a wallpaper.
The covers from :ffvstr: are in a file type called DDS, and I can't open it with any of my programs :wacko:
Any Ideas on how I fix that?
I use IrfanView (http://www.irfanview.com/) for image viewing, which is freeware. Either natively or via a plug-in (I forget which), it can read DDS files and save them in other formats (JPG, etc.). It is a really nice program and supports every graphics format I have ever had need to read.
The GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/) can also read DDS files via a free plug-in.
Thanks Man!
DDS is a Micro$oft format, and plugins can be obtained with a web search for most popular programs out there, such as Painshop Pro and Photoshop. It is also the native skin texture format for FFvTTR skins.
I would never subject anyone to irfranView. The one time I installed it, I couldn't get it off my system fast enough. It tried to take over my entire media system. I hate programs like that.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that. When I installed it, it was totally explicit in letting me choose which file formats it would register for. It handles a huge number of them, but you can choose to have any or none associated with the program. Not one single time did it surprise me by opening when I didn't want it to.
Meanwhile, I find it to be very useful for quickly opening various image files, without all the sluggishness and overhead of the dedicated graphics programs. And, despite having more full-featured programs for real graphics editing, when I am not just viewing a file, probably 80% of the time I am just pasting a screen (application) capture and plopping some text notes onto it. For those uses, I have not really seen anything better.
I also find it quite useful when I want a quick look at a picture, or want to resize/crop something fast. It's great for screen captures, too. The only thing that I ever had trouble with was the thumbnail mode. It works with very small amounts of pictures, but I tend to keep a lot of them in the same folders.
