Me and my cousin just beat the game and we took some AMAZING save pictures during the eplosion i was wondering if there is anyway to get those?
 
In the Steam directory, follow this path: Steam/SteamApps/yourname/half-life 2 episode one/ep2/screenshots
 
no they werent screen shots they were save pictures like u know the picture u see wen u look at the saved games, there has to be some way to get those... and also i dont believe i have that directory
 
Why didn't you take screenshots? These "save pictures" are tiny, what's the point?
 
Oh christ. The fail. Ohhhh the fail. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Bloody 'ell. Shut up.

To take screenshots you can press F5 at any point and the image will be saved to a directory as a .tga, I believe. This file type can be opened in Photoshop. If you don't have this, there are other programs out there which open it for you. Just do a Google.

To get back your old "saved screenshots", you should be able to load the game and then quickly hit F5.

Hope that helps.
 
Screenshots in HL2 are jpeg. At least for me they are.

Yeah, I think you're right. I can't check at the moment :p

TF2 screenshots are .tgas, though, unless you've changed your settings.
 
um yeah i know that i can take screenshots i was jsut wondering if there is anyway to get saved game images, i mean they have to be save somewhere...

and if your wondering the reason why i didnt take a screen was because it was my cousin playing (he was being a dick and wouldnt let me play XD) and he barely knows even how to start up steam... His brother starts everything up for him i think....
 
Then just do Druckles' suggestion of loading the save and taking an immediate screenshot.
 
lol ty took about 57 screen shots going to sort through them to see which oens r best TY LOTS
 
If you've got some good ones there be sure to post them in the relevant thread.

Edit: Actually not entirely sure that's the right one. I'm sure someone else knows where they go.

No problem. Please expand your acronyms in future.

The image of the saved game won't be particularly useful to you, as they wouldn't bother saving it in its full resolution. When you save a game, it's far more likely that they take a really low resolution screenshot and simply shrink it.

And please don't spam the image dump with them...
