Screenshot from fullscreen game possible!
Yes there is a built in option in Windows to enable screenshots from a directdraw game without horribly messed colors.
It is a simple registry option that needs to be enabled.
The patches are available here:
http://knights.x10hosting.com/KaM/Downloads/prntscr.zip
(they talk about another game in the readme, but this fix is universal and works for SPMBT too.)
So now you can take a screenshot from the game even if it is running in full screen with the print screen button. Enjoy.

Re: Screenshot from fullscreen game possible!
So all I need to do is apply the patch? Or is there some registry option that I also have to enable after applying the patch? Thanks.

Re: Screenshot from fullscreen game possible!
Oh well... that link is dead.
I wonder, maybe it's so difficult to attach the file on the shrapnelgames domain.

I attaced the fix to this post, but it is really just a simple Windows registry value change.
You can even make the "fix" yoursef.
Simply copy/paste the text to notepad and then save it as .reg file and run it.
For x86 systems use this:
Quote:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectDraw]
"EnablePrintScreen"=dword:00000001
|
If you have a 64 bit system use this instead:
Quote:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ DirectDraw]
"EnablePrintScreen"=dword:00000001

Re: Screenshot from fullscreen game possible!
The attached ZIP packgage (prntscr-fix.zip) comes with a readme.txt file that tells you what to do:
Quote:
~ INSTALLATION ~
1. Find out if you're running a 32-bit or a 64-bit version of Windows
IF RUNNING A 32-BIT VERSION
2. Double-click prntscr.reg
3. When it asks whether to continue, choose yes
4. The fix has been applied!
IF RUNNING A 64-BIT VERSION
2. Double-click prntscr_x64.reg
3. When it asks whether to continue, choose yes
4. The fix has been applied!
IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF YOUR WINDOWS TYPE
If you are running Windows XP or older, there is a 99% probability that you are running a 32-bit OS. In case you're running Windows Vista or newer, you might have a 64-bit version. To find out, click start and then right-click on computer and choose properties. In the window that appears, look for system type and from there you should be able to find out which type you are running.
In the event that you still aren't successful in figuring out if it's 32-bit or 64-bit, it is more likely that you are running 32-bit so start off by installing the fix for it. If it turns out it isn't working, well then there's just one option left, that is you're running a 64-bit version of Windows. There shouldn't be any harm done if you end up installing the wrong fix at first.
|
If you still can't figure it out then I suggest you just run the game in windowed mode to take your screenshots.

Re: Screenshot from fullscreen game possible!
Does this work in Windows 10? I installed the 64 bit version on my 64 bit machine and when running the game I hit prt sc key and nothing happens. I even restarted the computer and tried... nothing. Tried ctrl/prt sc and alt/prt sc too and nothing.
