How do you take a screenshot?!?!

01-02-2001, 08:28 PM

I've searched for FAQ's and thumbed the manual.. found a new spell, but no luck on the keys for screenshots. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

i think its...
when you are playing the game... press printscreen in your keyboard... once youve done that...go to paint and paste it or ctrl+v (hope this works for ya)

I tried that, but the pic was unrecognizable.. I matched up the resolutions and tried again but came up with the same results. Thanks for the tip though!

hmm... maybe because bg2 is like in dos mode full view screen... why dont you try to make the bg2 view into like a windows ... get it? change the view of bg2 into something that is why the resolutions is unrecognizable... its only a tip and a hint and an experiment for ya. GL.

Like Zor almost said, alt-enter to put BG2 in a window, then try the print screen / paste.

You're gonna make it your wall paper or somethin?

If you press printscreen, you don't have to paste it. The game will create a screenshot dir in bg2. Your screenshot will be in that dir.
