Ok. This seems like a real problem with mods these days. Everyone either has crappy non-hosted images or none at all, and there are rarely gifs, so i guess I'll show how to add an image to a mod, or i guess you could say how to host one.

1.) Take your image. This is not hard at all people. Press "prnt scrn" on your computer, and your image will show up in your CC folder as "###ScreenDump". If you have a mac, see here for a prnt scrn button on a mac


Print screen button on a keyboard:





Where your screen dumps will show up:










2.) Crop it. Simply open the image in Paint, resize it, and presto, its smaller. I don't think anyone should have problems here.

Now. This is for MSPaint. A picture of the crop tool. Lol.




Select the region you desire with it.



Once the region is selected press "Ctrl + C" to copy the image.

Next, reduce the region of your image with this.






Reduced image:





Now, press "Ctrl + V" to paste your image, and the canvas will grow accrding to how large your image is:


Save to your desktop to make it easier when hosting.





3.) Host it. Now, there are a couple places that you can host an image. Well, there are in infinite amount actually, but here are a few ok ones that you don't even have to register for:

http://www.tinypic.com

http://www.filesmelt.com

http://www.icanhasupload.com

http://www.imageshack.com

To do this, simply click "browse" somewhere on the page, and browse through the images til you find the one you want.


4.) Display it. Again, not hard. Simply put [img]YOURWEBSITEHERE[/img] in your post, and it will show up without having to click it again to resize it or anything.


This is the link you'll want to post in your mod:






I know this seems like dumb and pointless to post, but it seems too many people don't even post images of mods these days..

Hope this helps you people.

Please to be adding capitalization.

This tutorial is unnecessary.

And not very good.

Eh, i know. I'm just very frustrated from people not posting images in their mods. That's all. This took 2 minutes

What is this you speak? There's one of these on pretty much every forum I've visited, it's such a problem.

It is still badly written; usually tutorials are not self deprecating. You should be happy and smiling and extraordinarily PATIENT. Like an airline stewardess.

The doublecommand thing should make bladecat stfu though.
Also, <3 grif.

So i should probably dumb it down a little for people that can't understand?

Explain. I don't want to put images into any crappy mods I may or may not release. I will not use this tutorial, therefore, I will not be silent. And dear god, why are you using chatspeak on a FORUM?

This program. If you download it and remap a key to be prntscrn, it should let Macs use CC's screencapture abilities like we Windows users.

I know, thanks. Actually, I just tried it out, it does no such thing. It just switched around certain buttons, only you can't choose which ones, it's a list of "swap this with this".

Updated OP. Better? If not, tell what is needed.

Perhaps add in this picture to the hosting part and explain what you mean by the host url. Sometimes people have trouble with the steps between hosting and posting.

Only problem with that is you X'ed out the second one, which is also the right one. Ill make a new one in a sec though.

Edit: Uploaded

So....should this be stickied or not is all im asking.

If not, its cool. Just seems like a big problem with new modders these days.

Obviously people who can make a mod and post it don't know how to use MS paint.
