Screenshots

Does anyone know how to screen shot a video game? I am trying to make a web site for a friend who is in an unreal 2003 clan.

And I am not sure how to get these, when the game is full screen.

Thanks,

If the usual PrtScrn method doesn't work, I don't fancy your chances. A lots of software of this type addresses the hardware directly, so Windows can't help you.

It may sound cluncky, but the only way may be to photograph the screen.

When you PrtScrn does windows put it some place? Or are you supposed to hurry and get out of the game and ctrl + paste into Photoshop ...

read the manual for the game and check the website. many 3d games allow screen shots with different key combos. wheel of time (using unreal engine) lets you print w/F11. So does return to castle wolfenstien. try that. then you need to find the files once captured. look in the game's folder on your hard drive.

There is a program called SnagIt, very popular. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it.

There's also [url]www.screenprint32.com[/url]
It's free for personal use.

I don't think either of those work in-game (within the direct x sub-system). try F11/Shift-F11 and similar... That's why it's there.
