Taking screenshots

[Steppe Merc]

I'm trying to take screenshots of RTW, but when I press the printscreen button, afterwards there are never any pictures in the TGA folder. What am I doing wrong?
This is sort of important, so please help!!

Try using Fraps (http://www.fraps.com/) for Screenshots. It works for me.

Printscreen doesn't work for me anymore either. Used to before I reinstalled RTW. Not a problem usually as I use Fraps to grab screenshots, but I wanted to grab a few screenshots using the movie_cam option but there's a load of captions on screen in that mode which fraps will capture and which I don't want. Not that I'm that fussed anymore, but I assume there's a really simple answer to whats up with the screen-grabbing.

After u hit stamp/print screen buton in the Game...press Alt+TAB to view the desktop without closing the game...then open Paint in Windows and press Left Ctrl+V....and save the pic..works this way too....though is a little annoying

IIRC I fixed it by changing the key used for taking screenshots. Just use another key than the default print screen key.

Of course this doesn't fix the screenshot+aa=black bug, so i'd use fraps

I use FRAPS. Just press F10 each time you want a screenshot and it is saved. No need to do all the alt-tab to desktop etc. So much easier than saving in Paint.
You can even view the screenshots like a slideshow later. ~:)

To view your screenshots click on the ...View...button in the FRAPS window.
