How do you take screen shots?

[Jon Miller]

OK, I am about to go home and try to play the save...

How do I take screen shots?

All I need is the mod, the save, and the password, right?

yes

screenshots : press [shift] + [prtsc]
a window pops up asking for a name
it will be saved in "my documents/my games/civ4/screenshots"

You can also Copy & paste into a graphics program by pressing PrtScr without SHIFT, and then pasting into paint/whatever program you want.

Yeah, the latter is what I do:
1. Hit the PrtScn button
2. Open MS Project
2a. In Project, crop the borders of the screenie down to where I want and save as JPG.
3. Open PaintShopPro and shrink the picture to fit 'Poly guidelines and post.

I hit PrtScr, then go to the my documents/my games/smc4/screenshots directory. right click, size picture, upload & enjoy.

Have you been able to make these work?

[Jon Miller]

Yeah, everything worked perfectly except for the mailing of the save to snoopy.

I sent it to username@gmail.com first!

I believe you can set in the INI whether to save them as BMP or JPG. Choose JPG. BMP is for losers.
