help: screen capture dont work, running on win7-64 with GWX3
 

problem: ctrl+F11 doesnt doesnt capture screen, have looked everywhere and cant find any picture produced. anyone else having this issue?

Hi mate, I'm pretty sure ctrl-F11 don't work with GWX. Try your print screen button. If your using the res-fix mod you'll likely still have trouble tho.

Oh and welcome aboard shipmate!

Best regards.

have tried using print screen button but that dont work as well...

thanks for the reply :)

Ctrl + F11 works for me in Win7 64 bit, running SH3 with GWX, but PrintScreen only gives me a small portion of the screen.

The resulting screen capture is stored as a .bmp file in your SH3 root directory (usually c:/program files(x86)/silenthunterIII) - the same place that holds the SH3.exe file.

You can take multiple and repeated screen captures this way, unlike with PrintScreen which can only hold one capture at a time.

You could always use a third-party screenshot program like FRAPS, the free one is perfectly adequate.

It absolutely does work perfectly with GWX. It doesn't work with certain high-res mods, which is part of the reason why I don't use one.

yeah i did use a hi-res mod.. will see if i can tweak that..cheers,

Yes sorry Steve :oops:, I did also point out that the res-fix could be causing problems tho, :D

Best regards.

Whilst on the subject of screenshots, is it possible to capture video clips, using Fraps?
I use this programme in Microsoft Train Simulator for making in sim videos, converting the video clips using Windows Movie Maker to make up a video. These can then be uploaded to YouTube etc.

Yes. Most of the Silent Hunter videos all over YouTube were made with FRAPS.

Cheers for that Steve. Will give it a try when I can find a decent convoy to play havoc with.:salute:

have taken out the hi-res mod and after that ctrl-F11 works again.. but without hi-res the graphics look too outdated.. So I chucked the hi-res mod back into the system heh.
:DL

I've played with a hi-res mod and was not impressed. I think it's better without it. But then I still sometimes play Aces Of The Deep, from 1994.

on a 27' hdmi screen the difference btwn hi-res and original res is very noticeable. But i do miss being able to take screenshots on those torpedo impact moment though :(

But then I'm old, so maybe I'm blind too.
