GPL screenshots?

12 posts by 6 people · 01 May 2000 - 03 May 2000 20:50 UTC

Can any one tell me what format Grand Prix Legends exports to when you hit the printscreen key? It is a *.PBF file I believe. PSP won't read it. What program will read a PBF file? Why doesn't it export to a readable format like Nascar 3 does? Thanks, Mike G

Fire up a Windows Explorer window and drag the .pbf file over the pbf2tga.exe converter. The screenshot will be converted to Targa (.tga) format which PSP and LViewPro (among others) do read. Jan. =--- Michael Grindstaff <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

You can setup the file extension .pbf to automatically open with pbf2tga.exe by double clicking the file. Go into winows explorer, click on view - folder options, click on the file types bar. In there click on new type then in description of file type PBF , in associated extension type .pbf Under the actions box click on new, where it says action type open and browse for the pbf2tga.exe file using the browse button, then ok out of it all. You should now be able to convert to a tga just by double clicking on the file. -- Ian Parker == Jan Verschueren <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:sdpP4.94487$[email hidden]... > Fire up a Windows Explorer window and drag the .pbf file over the > pbf2tga.exe converter.

pbf2tga.exe, u can also drag the pbf file and just drop it on the exe file. Md Ian P wrote:

A little easier solution is to double-click on any *.PBF file, then when the window pops-up and ask you what to open the file with... hit "browser" and select the pbf2tga.exe located in you GPL-directory, before you hit "Ok / Done" be sure to check the "always open with this program"-box. Then the next time you double-click on a PBF-file it will be converted automaticly and a TGA-file will be created in the same location as the PBF.

AHA!! A fellow engineer. Should have gone for that guess, the approach and reaction to the "simpler" solution looked eerily familiar. ;-)) Jan./ embedded systems engineer. =--- Ian P <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:cwJP4.6975$[email hidden]...
