How to take JSMG Screeshot??

[exponent8246]

Hi all.

Can anyone tell me how to take screenshot of my installed JSMG folder so I can post it on here to get feedback on my installation order!

Noob question I know (been gaming for over 15 years), but necessary never-the-less.

Thanks guys.:oops:

Hoversnap (http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm) (scroll down about half the page to get to it) is a handy little tool for taking screenshots. It will take shots of the entire screen, the active window or a custom defined area and can be mapped to any key you want to use. It will let you specify where your shots go and what name they have and can save in .jpg format to save space (and upload time).

Edit : I forgot the best part, it's free.

Thanks mate.

Is it straightforward to post an image within a post??

[exponent8246]

I have taken a screenshot but have tries to insert the image into a new post.

I am being asked for the URL??

Anybody explain the next step I have to take please??:oops:

www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com)

It's free to register and use, and you can upload your pics to there then simply select the uploaded photo once it's in photobucket, copy, open a 'new post' in subsim, click on the little yellow mountain icon (insert image icon) above your post editing window and paste the link in there, click OK, finish typing your post and erm post it! Boom, you're done. You're post will now contain your image.

STORY OF MY LIFE!!!!:rotfl:

Tip 1:
YOU DON"T NEED TO TAKE A SCREENSHOT! :o

1. Open JSGME
2. click on "Tasks" in the center bar
3. Select "Export Activated mods list"

JSGME will create a text file in the mods folder and open the list in notepad. You can just copy and paste that right into the topic.

Some people have actually read the help file that comes with the program :eek:- go figure

Give it a try- you might find some really cool features in JSGME that way.;)

Imageshack (http://imageshack.us/) is pretty good, too, if photobucket has kicked the, ah, well, bucket:yep:

Yep, I read it, too:arrgh!: , but I like pretty pictures better than text:rotfl:. Besides, it doesn't hurt to know how to take/host/post screenshots:up:

[ReallyDedPoet]

Print-screen, then paste into paint or another like program, save as a jpeg and you are good to go. Lots of good suggestions here :yep:

swdw - I would deserve a rollocking mate! I did read the read-me but like Digi-Trucker says "I like pretty pictures"

I just reckon that people would be more responsive to an image rather than a seemingly endless amount of txt!!

Will give imageshack a go (as long as its free)!!

OK.

I'm on imageshack. How do I get my image onto a post?? I have started a practice post to see the result and I have clicked on "insert image" I have typed the URL in and then asked for a preview but it doesnt seem to work?


Where am I going wrong??

P.S - I have been asked for an image size, what is the prefered size??

Sorry for all the quesions but I haven't tried to insert an image before!!:oops:

in Imageshack scroll down and copy the last line.

Edit your post and paste this line in the image-field:

http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/9899/capture05022008202022nj3.jpg

this is the direct-link line.

[exponent8246]

You are a star mate!!

[jimimadrid]

You have to copy the link into the image button textfield. :up:

Better yet, Alt+PrintScreen, only puts the active window on the clipboard ;)

But anyway, to all: posting a text list is the best option imo. Please consider low bandwidth users, unless there's a good reason for screenshots ;)

(not that I'm one of them)

[exponent8246]

clayp - I kinda got the idea that the more you cram in, the better it will be.:nope:

It seems that less is more considering TM 1.6 has the vast majority of updates combined within.

My list is now considerably shorter!!:up:
