Unflappable Drayk Fyora Toast With Roamer Butter Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Hello all, This may sound like a goofy question. I can't seem to get screenshots from the game. I have shrunk down the size of the window for the game so it is manageable. I think it would be helpful for betatesters to know how to do this properly. I am using Windows XP. Looked in the help files for Windows XP, but all they had was how to print the screen. Kind of ridiculous. Used to be able to save the current screen as wallpaper or file in earlier editions of Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan dreamqueen Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 have you tried taking a screen shot with the print scrn button on your keyboard? I have found that if you do this & then save it to word, then email it you can get around this problem. Its an anoying long way, but it does work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Fyora Toast With Roamer Butter Posted September 25, 2004 Author Share Posted September 25, 2004 I was hoping to avoid that. There is a second part of the question. Lets say that you get your screenshot for XP of the game. I've noticed that some people have drawn red circles around the questionable sections of the screenshots with commentary. Did you export the screenshot to paint then draw the circles. Not sure about this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Press Prt Scrn (next to Scroll Lock) and then go into Paint of PSP or Photoshop or whatever you use and paste it as a new image. Then save it. Yes, the red circles are added in the graphics program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Fyora Toast With Roamer Butter Posted September 25, 2004 Author Share Posted September 25, 2004 Okay you have pressed print screen. Where is this saved to so I can manipulate the image. Know I am being a little bit picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Djur Revolutions Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 On Windows, Print Screen dumps the screenshot into the clipboard as a bitmap. No file is made until you paste and save it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Fort Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Just think of Prt Scrn as a Copy for the current screen. Remember that moving sprites generally aren't captured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Fyora Toast With Roamer Butter Posted September 25, 2004 Author Share Posted September 25, 2004 That was interesting. The bitmap ran about 1 MB. It took five minutes to upload using a 56k modem. I just sent it off. Thanks all. Drew a circle around the problem using paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Fort Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 You could've compressed it. Who are you sending this to? People with Macs might have a difficult time looking at your screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Tristrana Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 ALWAYS use .jpg, .gif or .png with screenshots. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
