QUICK: how2 screen cap?

94cruiser · 03-25-2008, 08:36 PM

I spotted a convoy and not looks like there maybe some larger ship inside, I try to look closer toggling "." key trying different angles and then I spot a British sub as part of the convoy. I'd like to take a screen capture. I search the forum, can't find info. Google, no dice. Guys help please...

control-F11 takes captures of your screen and saves them as .bmp files in your main SHIII folder.

If your planning to post them on SS, convert them to jpeg format first using a free programme such as irfanview, then mount them with imageshack or photobucket

I nailed Southampton class (cruiser)? 10725 tons trying to go after the sub but she is far away and they are already dropping DC, and am getting passive pings...http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/images/smilies/rock.gif

Simple old Microsoft Paint that comes with your computer does it as well, and nowadays you don't even need to do that unless you do it to save space on your own drive; Photobucket automatically converts uploaded pictures to jpeg.
