Screenshots, how do I???

Unread postby kcs_fan » Wed Jun 22, 2011 8:59 pm

Probably been asked and answered a thousand times, but how do you make and then use a screenshot? Newbies like me never quit asking questions! I know there's the camera button when I am running my scenerio and when I click on it, everything stops for a split second and I think I have made the shot. Now where do I go to get it??? *!question!*

Thanks to recent (last few months) update to steam there is now a function to take screenshots in game and upload/save them: http://store.steampowered.com/news/5047/ (Note: Screenshots will be saved into your steam folder, there will be an option to see it and you can grab the shots from there).
After you got your shots you can use any image program if you want to "spice" them up a little (Photshop, GIMP, etc).
Next upload them to a image hosting site. I use http://www.imgur.com (no ad's, popup's, cookies saved onto your PC) since it's about the best one on the 'net.
Grab the link with the [img] tags and put it on your post. Done. !!*ok*!!

When I take screenshots in game, they get saved to C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\My Pictures.
'Course I have the cloud stuff disabled in Steam.

I have been using a program called FRAPS for years now. Not only can you do screen shots in game and when watching a movie, you can also make your own movies, with the paid version. And it shows you the frame rate (fps)

That and with Photo Bucket as a picture hosting site, it's about all I need. Photo Bucket has some basic editing tools as well as hosting your pics.

F12 takes screenshots during RW. When you close your session, a box opens with thumbnails of your screenshots. You can choose to save them to another folder or post them on the web.

The screenshots you do with the ingame menu are saved under ".../user/yourname/pictures".
