Screenshot help

[DC_Tox]

Hi,

it seems that I'm unable to generate screenshots in GPL.

The files are created as written in the readme file, but they are always 0 (zero) byte long and, obviously, convert to nothing with the Targa converter...:confused:

This is a problem, because the only other way to have them is press printscreen and then exit the game... not always possible and anyway unconfortable... because I can't ALT-TAB (it's disabled in WinME??? :confused: )

The other way round is to run the game in a window by modifying the core.ini "Fullscreen" setting, but then the frame rate drops significantly: around 30fps at 800x600 windowed, 26fps at 1024x768 - which I use for screenshots - while it's around 35 and 30fps respectively in fullscreen mode.

Any hints?

I use QScreen to get screen grabs - multiple if needed. It's a great freeware proggy. The other way is to just go Alt-Print Screen and then paste it into Paint or another picture editor program. My grab of the Cooper dash in the other post was done this way. I used Paint Shop Pro 6 to resize it and convert it to a JPEG.

Good luck

I made a long research through search engines but couldn't find it, can you please post a link to a download site?

What I need is exactly a multiple screen-shot grabber that should work while GPL is is full screen mode without exiting the game...

Thanks

Here is the home page. It is at the bottom of the page in the free stuff:

Thanks Dave -^ -^ -^

I downloaded and it's a simple but GREAT tool!!!

Now I spare a lot of time on many captures, both from PU and from GPL, and you can even capture from the menu screens...:)
No more ALT-TABbing or PrintScreen and re-edit in Paint Shop!

Thanks again!
