Obtaining Screen-shots

**Holtingar** · 10-15-2009, 00:48

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum.
Sorry if this has been posted already, but I'm interested in getting some screen-shots from my current campaign and when I use ctrl+printscreen I only get a shot of my desk top (!). I'm not sure why this is happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I am a graphic designer and would like to help with EB II if my skills are needed.

Thanks!

Do you have anti-aliasing on? That should be the reason.

To take a screenshot, you can either turn it off, or just download Fraps (A program) and use it to take screenshots instead.

Ctrl + printscreen? I don't believe Ctrl is necessary; try just pressing Print Screen.

I had the same problem, I now use Fraps, works like a charm.
DL it, run it when playing and you kan do screenshots with f10, vids with f9.

EB definately needs help skinning and modelling I believe, there is a "Help Needed" thread in the stickies of EB II, both links here connects to it.

should get a "screen shot" sticky or something

Thanks everyone for your responses!

I'll check out the sticky. I would really like to contribute! I have also been (self)studying early Germanic languages since 1998 and have created a rather comprehensive database of reconstructed Proto-Germanic vocabulary culled from the works of Torp & Falk and the more recent Dictionary by Vladimir Orel. I hope I can do something to help.

Thanks again.

I have another screen-shot related question.
Is there a plug-in or editor that will allow you to make battle animations?
I would like to make a couple of animations to use for a demonstration, but taking it from a custom battle in-game doesn't always yield the best results.
The AI does whatever the AI wants to do, regardless of how I may want the sequence to play out.
And I would like to get shots at different angles, no matter what settings you use in the Game, you are limited to how close to the ground the camera can get (which is always higher that eye-level), so low-angle shots are not possible.

There's got to be something out there, because from looking at animation in the introduction video for vanilla RTW and BI, they obviously use the same engine as the game itself.
Anyone have any ideas?
