SS Zaku Posted February 13, 2001 Share Posted February 13, 2001 Hi Everyone! Forgive me if the answer has been posted, I'm new to this game and I'm loving it! I just faught a hard win battle and its a real shame that I don't know how to take the pic of my ace tanker. Would someone please tell me how to take a picture of the screen? I thank you for your time. Sincerely, SS Zaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace Posted February 13, 2001 Share Posted February 13, 2001 If you're using a PC, press the <alt><Print Scrn> keys simultaneously, then go into a graphics program and paste. Mace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Shaw Posted February 13, 2001 Share Posted February 13, 2001 You'll have to excuse Mace, he's an Ozzie you know ... 'nuff said. {alt} + {Print Screen} pressed together does the job. Then go to your favorite graphics program and just do a Paste from the scrapboard. Joe ------------------ I heartily admit you are a swine, Joe. But you are OUR swine.

Clubfoot Posted February 13, 2001 Share Posted February 13, 2001 Zaku, While in the game, hit the 'Print Scrn' button on your keyboard. Hit 'esc' and open up Paint. Paste the image in Paint and save it. Voila. Clubfoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJo Posted February 13, 2001 Share Posted February 13, 2001 PC - After finding the appropriate angle to take a picture of your Ace TC Hit the Prnt Scrn key. Then open up a .bmp file and hit Ctrl-V. Voila, instant screenshot appears in front of you, you rejoice, you sing, etc. Mac - Beats me, Ask Mac . Camera - Aim the Camera At The Screen. Press the Snapshot Button. Depress the Snapshot button. Take Film Out. Get it Developed. You rejoice, you sing, etc. PS - If you still don't understand or need better instructions try using the Search function, a very useful tool for many souls searching for an answer. ------------------ "For every soldier that died at Dieppe, ten were saved on D-Day" --Lord Louis Mountbatten Visit my website at http://www.angelfire.com/ns/mocm/index.html !

Epée Posted February 13, 2001 Share Posted February 13, 2001 I'll take the opportunity and suggest that CM2 should have a command for taking snapshots and saving them automatically as .pcx or .gif files. Epee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epee I vote for the hotkey also, but keep BMP format, anything else not only lose quality but also prevents all those w/o dedicated programs to see the files !

Maximus Posted February 13, 2001 Share Posted February 13, 2001 Originally posted by SS Zaku: How do you take picture of your game? Easy. Take your CD out of the drive. Prop it up somewhere. Take out your camera. Line up your shot and snap the shutter. Then finish up the roll and get it developed. Then look at your bright shiny photo of the game. You'll be the talk of the town. LOL! Now if you're talking about taking a "screenshot" in the game, oh well, then that's a different story! I don't know what Mace and Joe Shaw are talking about concerning using the ALT key. Just hitting Print Screen does the trick. That saves it to the Windows Clipboard. Now you must put it on screen so you can save it. Do this by opening any photo or paint program. Windows Paint will do, but I use PhotoImpact. Simply do a "Paste" or something to the effect of "Paste...as a new image". The crop it or whatever else effect you want to do and then save it, preferably as a .jpg. Smaller file size, etc. etc. [This message has been edited by Maximus (edited 02-13-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
