Just a little update. Thanks to Virindi-Inquisitor the plugin has made some major steps ahead in the last days. The screenshots no longer have the (usually small) border, but capture exactly the AC screen and nothing else.
Additionally you can choose between 2 methods now, Win32 and DirectX - the latter has the advantage of capturing just the AC screen even if another window is in front of it, but during my tests it was a tad more demanding on the CPU.
Also new is the automatic calculation of the number of screenshots taken. You can choose between 3 settings for the delay, then the plugin will calculate the amount of screenshots to capture most of the fireworks. The first screenshot is always taken after ~100ms, the others are spread over a period of 3 seconds which is pretty exactly how long the fireworks are visible.
And yet another new feature: You can have the plugin save the screenshots as PNG, which gives better quality. The downside is that the files are about 8 times as large as JPEGs would be, so saving them to disc takes longer and unless you have a very fast computer you will get client lag - the lag is minimal though if you use the "slow" delay setting. If there is demand for it I will try some threading so the saving of the files is done "asynchronous", which should reduce the client lag.
No installer yet, but you can see some sample screenshots at
http://ac.ranta.info/screenr (the lowercase s is important) and the .dll is linked from
http://ac.ranta.info/Screenr (uppercase s) for those who want to test it before the official release (which should happen this weekend).
