How to take screen shots

Post by HsojVvad »

Is it possible to take screen shots? The only way I know of so far is hitting prtscreen and then going into paint, and then pasting the picture in. But that is only one at a time and so time consuming. Is there another way that I don't know about? I didn't see anything in the manual so far.

Press Numpad's 0. :)

If you have Vista, they'll be saved in C:\Users\Yourname\AppData\Roaming\Code Force Limited\Distant Worlds\1.0.1.0\Screenshots ... Otherwise, well, it'll tell you anyway when you'll press 0.

My laptop has a num pad. So does the num loc have to be on or off? I am on Windows 7, so I am assuming it will be in the same directory that was said for Vista?

I guess it has to be on, the key to press is 0, not Inser.
