Taking a screen shot

UKönig · 04-03-15, 08:23 PM

I found once that I had to press "cntl+F11" really hard before the screen capture mode had any effect. And yes, they were stored in the root folder of sh3, it took me a bit to find them later...

you say root folder, what is that? is it named after something? And thanks for the info.

Root folder meaning the root folder of SH3: "SilentHunterIII". The folder where sh3.exe resides.

Well, the root folder means the beginning of a folder structure. So for SH3 this means where it is installed. By default: C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\

SH3 has it's executable stored in there, but some applications or games have the executable file stored in a subfolder (like \bin). So it is not always true that the root folder contains the executable program.

Similarly, the root of the harddisk would be C:\. And the root of the Windows folderstructure is then c:\Windows

You also have the possibility to take a screenshot by copying the screen with the button on your keyboard, and then pasting in paint (the software) and saving in a .png file. But the interface is also copied. Unless there is a keyboard shortcut to hide it, but i don't know how to do.

There is a command to hide the interface, but I forget what it is. Del key perhaps, alt+z is another that comes to mind, but I'm not sure anymore.

Numpad del - key, IIRC.

Yes, that one.

I used to be fairly tech savvy, now, what I don't know could fill a warehouse...submarine pen, if you will.
