    HELP with screen shots etc

    Hello Gentlemen.

    Can someone point me in the direction of taking an ingame map screen shot.

    I've tried my KB print Scrn button but don't appear to have anything.

    Is there a particular key from within ArmA to use and if so where does it locate the snap-shot.

    I'm following some basic advice I normally give out to my work teams RTFM, so I might find the answer in there.

    Thanks

    The print screen only seems to work if you switch over and paste into something that can accept images from the clipboard. The best bet is to have a program like fraps installed which will generate screen shots on a key press.

    Ah cheers Shiner.
    I do have Fraps but I have not activated it with ArmA because I use TS Overlay which clashes with the FPS read out.
    I expect if I don't use the Fraps for FPS all will be well.

    EDIT>>>> DID AS ABOVE & ALL WORKS FINE, GOT ME MY SNAP-SHOTS.

    This works for me..
    1: take screen shot.
    2: open photoshop or paint shop.
    3:click on New...and then paste... using Ctrl V or C
    4:Save-As JPEG.

    you can turn the overlay off for fraps (though I have registered my version, free one may be different).

    Thanks Jex

    That's what I did do, I turned of fps in fraps and all worked fine.
    Mines the free version.
