ImmolatedYoda Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 yeah, i was wondering how you get screenies from DF. print screen, minimize, and paste and save in paint or something? or is there a button in the game and where do they go to?

michael_collins Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 tried to do something similar with a dvd monkey, wanted a decent shot of an f-14 outta top gun, it pasted into paint ok but it was really distorted, i figured copyright issues, anyone got any elaboration on this ?

Kurgan Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Its been awhile, so forgive me if I'm off, but I seem to remember needing to press "shift" or "alt" with printscreen to take captures to the clipboard in Dark Forces for the purpose of taking screenshots. In Photoshop, at least, you just create a new blank file, then select "paste" (or control V) and it will appear. You can use "alt+tab" to switch out of the game of course, if you didn't already know that. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_P47 Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 with the dvd capture i think most dvd player software on computers have a screenshot button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use "alt+tab" to switch out of the game of course, if you didn't already know that. ; ) From my recent experience, it would appear that using Windows 98 you can simply use "Print Screen" in Dark Forces to get a screen capture - then paste it into whatever program you wish. But with Windows XP, for some reason, "Print Screen" does not work at all. I have tried external capture programs such as HyperSnap, but even that does not work. I think that screen capture in Dark Forces using Windows XP is impossible - I just ask Darth_Linux if I ever need a reference shot. Though, having said that, I may try Kurgan's method to see if that works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
