This document lists some general guideline on taking the screenshots for the
manual. Please adopt it to the correct version of the time you are taking the
screenshot and make sure to point the entry in the po file to the correct
screenshot.
The examples I give are based on the availibility of the "imagemagick" tools
used for converting the images to jpg format.
Here is a list of the general howto for the screenshots:
1) Take the "original" version as png or bmp.
2) Take the fullscreen screenshots in 1024x768.
3) Afterwards, convert the fullscreen screenshots to jpg and change the
resolution to 640x480 and set quality level to 80%. This is the command to use
when using imagemagick (change file name accordingly for the titlescreen
screenshot):
convert -resize 640x480 -quality 80 game-screen-1.5.7.png game-screen-1.5.7.jpg
4) For those "parts of the screen" screenshots just copy out the relevant part
from the full versions. All "non fullscreen" screenshots should be stored with a
compression/quality setting of 90% and in the original size. The imagemagick
command would look like this:
convert -quality 80 multiplayer-1.5.7.png multiplayer-1.5.7.jpg
5) Send the files in once you translated the strings in the po file. In the
translation use your locale as prefix/foldername. So if you were eg translating
to German, you would use 'de' as foldername where the images are in and the
filename for the game-screen screenshot would be this:
de/game-screen-1.5.7.jpg
de/multiplayer-1.5.7.jpg
Please send the screenshots in a separate archive.
As a hint where you could create the screenshots (that is: where the original
ones were taken):
* game-screen-1.5.7.jpg: 3rd scenario of two brothers, just jumping there with
:debug and :n and then letting the AI play some turns with :droid
* right_pane-1.5.7.jpg: right part from the "game-screen" screenshot
* top_pane-1.5.7.jpg: top part from the "game-screen" screenshot
* main-menu-1.5.7.jpg: the main menu (obvious, isn't it?)
* multiplayer-1.5.7.jpg: just the dialog that pops up when clicking on
'multiplayer' in the main menu, take care to set the player name to the default
value 'player' (or whatever it is in your lang, since this one is a
translateable string)
* recruit-1.5.7.jpg: start a skirmish game and select elves as your race, click
on recruit and take a screenshot of the dialog popping up
