New SH5 Skipper!

Andrew82 · 12-27-11, 04:22 PM

Ahoy skippers!

Just checking in here, just upgraded my computer so now I'm having a go at SH5. Been playing SH4 for a while so SH5 need a lot of getting used to!

Installed some mods and I love the eyecandy but the interface and keyboard hotkey layout are killing me

(I'm used to TMO)
Been reading a lot in the SH5 section of the radiorooms so I'm learning fast!

Anyways, keep up the good work, it's a great community over here!

Encountered my first convoy today, took some screenshots but I can't seem to find them anywhere..

Does anybody know in which folder they are stored?

They have funny names and are .bmp files IIRC. Look at the timestamps. That's how I usually find them when I know I took some screenshots not too long ago.

Nope, still nothing.. When you press the printscreen button in game is there a message supposed to come up like in SH4? Cos this doesn't happen either

You need to use ctrl+F11 to take screen shots - they are saved to SH5 folder as explained.

If you use prt scr key - you then need to paste this into image software like paint.net

Note: beware that shift+F11 is screen capture and will take screenshots untill you stop it

Thanks for clearing that out Trevally, I thought the screen capture function was assigned to the printscreen button..
