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. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

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 :D -------------------- If there is no light at the end of the tunnel, stride down there and turn the damm thing on yourself! people often tell me i've lost my mind, but i tell them i have to have one to lose it! lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

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. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh. Star Bright, Star Light, Oh I Wish I May, I Wish Might, Wish For One Star Tonight.

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. -------------------- My Myspace, with some of my audial and visual art The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

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. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

On Windows, Print Screen dumps the screenshot into the clipboard as a bitmap. No file is made until you paste and save it. -------------------- I've got a pyg in a poke. Posts: 999 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

Just think of Prt Scrn as a Copy for the current screen. Remember that moving sprites generally aren't captured. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

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. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

You could've compressed it. Who are you sending this to? People with Macs might have a difficult time looking at your screenshot. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.
