Azrael Strife Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Anyone know of a way to take screenshots in this game that it's not the default one? The in-game function saves them to a weird format (don't remember which) while I'd like to save them to either JPG, GIF, PNG, etc, and converting the screenshots is a painful process (if you consider taking and converting several missions worth of screenshots).Maybe some program to take screenshots off games or something?

Gimli Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 There are lots of programs that do that, but I don't know if any of them is free.Try ScreenGrab, but I've never used it, so I don't know if it's free or not.... err... yes so I can't read, the link says freeware. In the worst case, you can use the Print Screen button, and then Ctrl+V that into Paint and save as jpg. Of course, you can only take one that way.

Knan Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 In the Old Days of DOS and DOOM, I seem to remember using something called Screen Thief. Today I use Ubuntu, assorted emulators, and a simple print screen suffices to bring up a "save screenshot as" dialog. (Sometimes awkward in the middle of a hectic flight sim or similar.)

Azrael Strife Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 I'll try screengrab, thanks for the suggestion, looking for something along the lines of "screenshots" in SourceForge didn't bring anything that seemed useful, most were for automatic screenshot taking and uploading into servers, etc. Edit: did you try running Apoc on Ubuntu?

Knan Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Not for a while. Put people have gotten it to run in Dosbox, I understand, so the procedure should be identical no matter WinFLAVOR/Linux/Mac... Enemy Unknown certainly works well enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I recommend PicaView. It allows you to select a bunch of files, right click on them, and then use the context menu to convert the lot to a format of your choice. That, and it allows you to preview/open images faster then anything I've ever seen. Not free, but last I saw the unregistered version had no real limitations.

NKF Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Weren't the pictures in ye olde .pcx format? Irfanview, the viewer I've been using for the last couple of years has a batch conversion function that you can use to convert all the pictures into another format at once. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimli Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Apoc runs fine on Dosbox in Fedora. I have to figure out how to get Fedora to boot from the Windows boot loader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
