I downloaded and used KI Image Fixer, and that did the job nicely.

And if you use Irfanview, you can open them and re-save to another location after unclicking all the boxes:

From here you have a windows-ready ki-shot that can be opened with any program

That's where the KI pictures go. I seem to have forgotten that, although Irfanview does open them. Thanks Johnsojc!

So they are.

None of the programs I have on my computer right now open them, but that's okay. What I'm going to try is importing pictures from my Offline Uru and see if they are visible. That'd allow me to share them with other players.

I tried using Fraps, but when I hit the hotkey (F10) to get a screencap, it jerked me around in another direction. I suspect it was because I was in fly mode.

As is, KI pictures are doing me well enough for now.

Outside the Pod

Well, still haven't taken time to try to catch a monkey on camera, but I have something a little unusual to share.

How about a monkey's eye view of Negilahn?

Another Outside picture - Kiri, up close and personal.

I was slightly disappointed that they didn't skin the pod, but you can't have everything, I guess.

Edit: I got my monkey picture. I created a new topic for my pictures, and am writing a little IC travelogue style commentary to go with them. The topic is called "From the Age Zoologist".

Wow! Well done, chuckles ... I'm glad I didn't throw my glasses away the last time
I dumped useless stuff ... I've thrown away my old 3D glasses, but I kept the red/cyan
anaglyph glasses which are turning your Kemo so realistically into 3D now ... Awesome ...

Edit: When I look at it again and again, it looks almost better than In-Game lol ...

1952... while watching 'Bwana Devil' at the Bijou in Knoxville, TN. 3rd row, under the fourth seat from the exit door on the south side of the building.

Unlike the offline Uru game which saved KI pictures in a folder on your computer, our KI images are saved on the MOULa server. I'm not exactly sure if there's a way to get these off easily.

For screen captures, I use a registered version of Fraps, which allows me to take jpg images on the fly as well as capture movies within MOULa. The unregistered version has a few annoying features, so I paid to get the registered version.

I've recently been playing around with a 3D maker in Roxio 2011 that merges two images into a Red/Blue 3D pictures. I use Fraps to get the two images using the side step to create the 'right eye' view. Here's an example just for fun:

Thanks for the tip. I was watching out of the mid-level window and the top-level window across from the Relto page. Next time I go photo hunting, I'll try that one.

Between my associate at work and I, we have a few good photos. Does anyone know of a way to export pictures from MOULA, or do you have to use screen captures?

No I haven't spent enough time to see the monkey. Which windows are you watching out of. Top are the best. I prefer the top window where the relto page is. When he/she does turn up it stays there for a bit longer that the other side. In my experience that is.

I went on a photo safari for Sandscrit and Urwin today, and got shots of both, though not the best.

Has anyone seen a Two Tailed Monkey in MO:ULA? I watched out windows in Negilahn for hours and never saw one. Their calls are in the background audio, but they never seem to show.
