PraetorianXXI Posted July 15, 2000 Share Posted July 15, 2000 You guys have ignored the other topics maybe this will grab your attention!!! How do you take screenshot? I pressed printscrn but it takes a picture of the desktop not the game, why? And how the hell do mines work, they never seem to go off when trodden upon, why? ------------------ ~Veni Vidi Vici~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhorse Posted July 15, 2000 Share Posted July 15, 2000 My guess is you have a vodoo2. You'll probably need to get Hypersnap. It's available on the internet in a shareware version. Do a search and you'll find it. As for the mines... AT mines are anti-tank mines. They will not be set off by a soldier. Only the weight of a tank will do that. If you are using AP mines, then the squad going through just got lucky. Mines are spread over an area, and do not occupy every square inch of the area where they are emplaced.

Cyberfox Posted July 15, 2000 Share Posted July 15, 2000 Hey PraetorianXXI, Just press the "print screen" button on your keyboard. Then in Netscape composer or mail program just press ctrl-v. If you want to change the picture, open Paint in windows and press ctrl-v and change it.

WendellM Posted July 15, 2000 Share Posted July 15, 2000 Sorry about your screenshot troubles. My Voodoo3 works if I hit PrintScreen then paste into Paintbrush (or Photoshop). That's all I can address, since that's my only card. Don't know much about mines, but I did lose a Sherman when it ran over a Jerry AT mine, so they do work (FWIW, the manual says anti-tank mines won't be set off by infantry, maybe that's the trouble?). Good luck, Wendell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ACTOR Posted July 15, 2000 Share Posted July 15, 2000 RE Screenshots - Take Blackhorses' advice. Hypersnap is the way to go. You can get it here: http://www.hyperionics.com/www/downloads.html As far as mines go, most of the guys will be able to make into the field before someone goes boom. The mines are a deterent, not an impassbile wall. You CAN pass through a mine field unharmed. They should be used to slow down the enemy and to alert you that someone is coming your way. They can also be used to force the enemy to follow a certain path. I will not knowing send my troops into a mine field, but once broken or routed they'll run just about anywhere.

Schrullenhaft Posted July 16, 2000 Share Posted July 16, 2000 PraetorianXXI - As others have suggested - use Hypersnap. The reason you're getting the desktop instead of CM in your screen captures is that you are probably using a separate 3D video card (Voodoo 2 ?). Your screen grabs are getting what the primary display card has in its memory. Hypersnap should be capable of grabbing your 3D card's image. Well... if you wanted to know...
