A simple question about screen capture

Debaser · 08-25-2002, 11:22 PM

Ok, all I need to know is this--When you take a screen snapshot w/ the 'Print Screen' key, where is the file of it saved? Thanks.

Its not anywhere...The screen capture goes to the clipboard and you have to open an image program and paste it in. I read on the Bioforums that a Targa file is made in the NWN directory when you screenshot but I could not find one anywhere after taking multiple shots.

Hmm, interesting...

Well, what and where is the clipboard and how do I access it?

Just open an imaging program or the like (Word works), open a new document, goto edit and select paste!

When i take screen shots they end up in my NWN folder just floating around.

Hit Alt + Prt Scr

Then Alt + Tab out of the game or hit your Windows key. Open Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop or MS-Paint or what-have-you. Hit Ctrl + V.

There is your pic.

They end up sitting in your main NWN folder as .tga files, with names like NWN0001, etc.
