how to take a screenshot?

Recommended Posts

This is silly !!

 

I have the ini set to allow screenshots, the default name is 'screenshot', is there some other setting that allows me to press a key to take one?

 

I thought it was \

 

or something of the sort?

 

The ONLY way I can do it now is by hitting Alt+Prntscrn and then pasting my clipboard to a blank jpg!

 

talk about tedious!

 

I know I had like three screenshots saved at one time, they all appeared in my base folder, named screenshot01 through 03

 

how the geck...erm heck did I DO that? and why can't I repeat it?

 

Thanks in advance !!!

I do recommend Fraps, but the free version save pictures in a bmp format. BMP formats aren't accepted by the nexuses for posting.

 

However, I've provided a link to a free converter that can change these pictures from a bmp to a usable, postable and smaller jpeg format. It may be called dds converter, but it works with converting tga's, bmp's, jpg's and other. :thumbsup:

It may be slow, however, so wait a little for it to run completely.

yeah but its not liek you can convert it to Jpeg My real problem with fraps would be the counter in the corner...well...at least you can choose where the counter is. this game was really for screenshot takeing. since you can lower HUD opacity and hell you could probably make some screenshots look very...artistic XD

Not to sound rude or anything, but I stated in my post that it {does} convert bmp's to jpg's.

You can turn the counter off. Or turn Fraps off when you are not expecting to take pics. The counter is your FPS (frames per second) or how fast your game is running. Handy for troubleshooting. There are many free programs that will convert whatever format you have to whatever you want. (bmp to jpg, jpeg or many other formats) I use the free program irfanview. But there are a lot that do it as well or even better. And they are fast. The dds converter will work fine.
