Screenshot help

[DigitalAura]

So let me get this straight...

hitting the PRTSCR button on the keyboard doesn't work? (doesn't save it to that folder?)

Is CTL-F11 the 'photograph' command? 'cuz I thought that only took a snapshot of what the periscope was looking at?

When doing a photo recon mission, you'll get an illuminated "camera" icon on your Orders bar ... clicking on the icon will take a "periscope" photo. Screenshots, on the other hand, can be taken from any view ... use the NumPad "Del" key to get rid of the Orders bar for an unobstructed picture.

Works every time. Takes a screenshot in .bmp format (go figure) and stores it in your main SH4 folder. If you still can't find it just go to your UBI folder then do a search using *.bmp in the filename and it will look for every .bmp file in the UBI folder.

Gotcha. Thanks again, men!

Ctl-F11 starts the CAPTURE SEQUENCE mode!! It takes a heavy toll on my CPU because it starts taking multiple screen shots until I hit Ctl-F11 again! Sometimes causes a crash!

What happened? I want one pic...not a hundred!

n/m I was hitting SHIFT-F11.... CTL-F11 is the proper scn capture button. D'oh!
