Civ 2 for mac - graphically better than the windows version?

[Tuberski]

Apparently screenshots are smaller for Mac than Windows, but otherwise, no real difference I can see.

ACK!

That just has to do with the moniter and computer. I use a 18" TV screen as a moniter, and at the maximum zoom-out, it looks like the standard zoom. Maybe I'll post a screenshot sometime.

Sometime!?

Put your monitor where your mouth is!

[Hagbart]

the windows look better on a mac.

Everything looks better on a mac.

OK, so how does one do a screen capture on a Mac? I don't have any graphics-oriented programs, aside from Pictureviewer.

command(open-apple), shift, 3.

In OS X it creates a .pdf, in 7+ it creates a PICT file I think you need to change prior to posting here...

To clarify, btw, I just cropped the image I created because I didn't want the whole dang thing to fill the screen, is it needed?

Hey, cool. Hmm. I don't have any conversion programs. Oh, well. When I upgrade and/or ever get the urge to post screen captures, I'll do it then.

If you want to take a pic of a part of the screen use Apple-Shift 4 and you get a crosshair selector. If you press space you get a camera which will automatically take pics of specific windows.

Download the Quickimage plugin and you can crop and scale from the Finder.

**rubs hands evilly** Yes, that's it, keep the enlightenment flowing!

quickimage is OS X, though, isn't it?

GK still is on something older, 8.6 wasn't it?

If you want the pictures edited, converted, or something, just warn me in a PM and then e-mail them to me and I'll happily do it for you.

[Gatekeeper]

Yep, I'm still creaking along on 8.6 ... Steady as she goes, mate!

Hey, at least you're to the point that you can use USB devices...

And here I am worried that I'll have to do some heavy hunting for Classic and OS 9 whenever I finally get a new G5 (or by the time I can get a new computer, G6) since I don't know where the install disks are anymore...

Gotta play my Civ! I just need to find Carbonized, unofficial versions of Civ2 and CtP like I did SMAC/SMAX. Or learn how to cargonize myself.
