Martini Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 The way I know it is like what Google search tells me too: To take a screen capture of the entire screenPress PrtScn. Open Paint by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, clicking Accessories, and then clicking Paint. In Paint, on the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click Paste. Save the image in any folder you wish.I added item 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonyDigitaL Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 What the shortcut on the keyboard for taking a screenshot, and in what folder doest it go? PLEASE TELL ME IT IS NOT PRINTSCREEN. Thank you for awnsering The client normally doesnt have a screenshot folder so you need to play the game as administrator and it creates a folder in your game directory automaticaly Gizmo and spinpat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilles Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 For myself, I use SnagIT for Screenshots and Record Videos of my Desktop As second method, I have the Automatic Screenshot functions of Dropbox on my Print Key.Both works very good for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinpat Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 It is my understanding that when you printscreen a screenshot, you can do only one at a time, you cannot multi- printscreen because you erase the last one you took before. So you need to save it in paint or photoshop, what ever sorftware you are using. It is a long process because you need to move out and in of the game each time you do one single printscreen to save it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This in my Screenshot is the Dropbox Screenshot functions and it works always if you press print, not matter how often or how fast you the print key press spinpat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RobT Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 i personally love Lightshot for my screenies. saves on having to upload the pics if you use the game one. But Sony is correct about running as admin. took me a while to figure out why my computer wouldnt make the folder till i saw a post by skar saying to do that (i think it was Skar) xHyperPepsix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordelia Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Why do we have to tell you IT IS NOT PRINTSCREEN, when it is? Of course, there are a million different ways, using third party or built-in Windows software, but the process of using PrtSc, in relation to 3DXChat, has already been well documented on here. First, you have to run 3DXChat as administrator. Right click on the game icon and select "Run as administrator" from the menu.Second, hit PrtSc whenever you want to take a shot. All images will be saved to a folder called Screenshots, within the 3DXChat folder (you may want to use Shift-Z, prior to doing that, to clear the HUD). It's as simple as that. spinpat and Martini 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinpat Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Is there a way to customise the qualitity of the screenshot like pgn or bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinpat Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Why do we have to tell you IT IS NOT PRINTSCREEN, when it is?It was a figure of speech, because usually printscreen is a bad way to take multiple screenshot rapidly. But i will try the option you gave me tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordelia Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I am not an expert but... You are creating a window dump in png format that is the size of the 3DXChat window based on what you specified in the game options. Using 3rd party software, you can create a higher resolution by interpolation or compression but, with the former, the quality isn't necessarily any better and, with the latter, the result is a smaller image, obviously.

Stacee Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) so i tried the command to remove the interface from the picture but I must have done it wrong. Anyway I still posted it but it would be more fun to not have to cover up the other person's name. Will the command to remove the interface controls also hide the names in the group?

LanaLove Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Amber, the hide interface hot keys will hide all of the HUD elements. If the hud didn't vanish try holding the right mouse button (Button2) and move the camera a bit and release . Then hold Shift and tap Z. The HUD should vanish.
