screen shot (step by step explanations...)

[samus's big bro]

hi
im new to this form so how do you take a screen shot


sry if this has already bin talked bout

[Lieutenant_kettch]

hit the "print screen" button, i think it is next to "scroll lock" but don't quote me, then you can go into your favorite imaging program, and paste it in:D

[samus's big bro]

nothing happands

You need to bind a key to "screenshot" or "screenshot silent"

"screenshot" writes a screenshot verification and number in the upper lefthand corner, "screenshot silent" doesn't (my preference for a cleaner look).

I use my PageDown key

Open the console (Shift and ~) and enter

/bind PGDN "screenshot silent"

The screenshots will be in a screenshot folder in your base folder or the mod folder if you are using a mod like JA+.

You might also want to bind a key to toggle your HUD (Head Up Display) off and on for an uncluttered screenshot. I use the End key

/bind END "cg_draw2d !"

Pressing the key once turns off your HUD, pressing it again turns it back on.

[samus's big bro]

i typed in what you sead then that do i press to take the shot

[Tinny]

according to Amidala's script you'd press Page Down to get the screenshot.

[samus's big bro]

where is that

[samus's big bro]

i have prest it but where is the screen shot

[Tinny]

it should be in your base folder or the mod folder in a sub folder called screenshots.

That's her way of saying you're hopeless. :)

[Joetheeskimo]

samus, if you're on a Windows 98, go to C:\WINDOWS\Program Files\Lucasarts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\base\screenshots. Your screenshots will be there. OR, if you're on Windows XP, go to C:\Program Files\Lucasarts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\base\screenshots.

If you come here and say "i culdnt find them" I'll stab you to death. :xp:

[samus's big bro]

[Lei Hng Wei]

Dude, how are we supposed to view an image from your your computer when it's off? Get an ImageShack or PhotoBucket account to host picts online. :rolleyes:

bind ANYKEY "cg_draw2d 0; wait 2; screenshot silent; wait 2; cg_draw2d 1"

lololol

[Kurgan]

Don't be too hard on him, guys. Samus's big bro, you might have to do some work yourself, keep in mind!


I just go into the console and type:

/bind f12 screenshot.

Tap the f12 key and then go into my /base folder and there it is in jpg format.

Since I use a custom install, you can just search your computer for:

shot*.jpg

and you will find the folder where they are.

[Tinny]

She was just saying that if you made a mistake in your post or forgot to add something just click on the edit button below your comment and you can make the fix without adding more posts.

[XBebop]

LMAO! Man, I got JO when I was twelve and knew how to bind a screenshot button on there by myself.

I'm sorry, but this is just hillarious...

[Sam Fisher]

Is just me, or does this young man need a console?

[Nokill]

this boy needs dummy books for the PC a LOT!!! of them ;)

[Kurgan]

Well I hope this was a learning experience for all of us.

Moving on then...

Can anybody tell me ,
how to take screenshots of the start screen???????:confused:
It is the screen with
"NEW"
"LOAD"
"CONTROL"
"SETUP"
It is the "STAR WARS JEDI ACADEMY" title on the top.
How to get that screen?????????:rolleyes:

[teff]

?????????????????????
:confused: :confused: :confused:

To do that I run the game in a window instead of full-screen. Then I hold down Alt and press PrtScn. That takes a screenshot of the active window (Jedi Academy) and holds it in the Windows Clipboard. Then I Paste it into a graphics program (use MS Paint if you don't have anything else) and save it.

I think "strange" is the wrong word to use. I'm not even going to state the adjectives I'd call him, or else I'd get banned. :mad:
