QUESTION about screenshots, help!

[bandit11]

Hey all, I know you all told me to press the 'a' key, or, 'print key' when I want to capture a screenshot, but nothing happens...am I supposed to get off the game before anything else in order for it to take the shot?? And also, when you save your game and a picture of what was happening when you saved your game comes up next to your saved game when you're downloading, is there any possible way to use that shot for a screenshot? I caught a coupe really cool things when I saved. Please let me know asap!

I've never actually played Dungeon Lords but I can give you some basic advice. Some games, mostly new ones, automatically save your screenshots in a folder in your game directory when you push the "Prt Sc" or "Print screen" button. Look for that folder. The key is located somewhere along the top right of most keyboards btw.

If Dungeon Lords doesn't automatically save these screenshots, you can still push Print Screen and then Alt-Tab or exit to windows. Open any image editing program like paint or photoshop, start a new file and just paste (ctrl + v). The image should appear. Save it and you're done.

You can probably extract the little images next to your savegames from your Dungeon Lords folder somewhere, these images tend to be extremely downsized though. If you want to use it in a form any larger than the present one the quality will suffer a lot.

Hope this helps, good luck.

Ugh! hopefully I'm not seeming impossible, but I can't find any screenshots! I've gone to DL folder, but all it bring up is the Adobe Reader instrudtion manual, wich has nothing about screenshots. I can't seem to find them in any other places, either.
So when I want to take a screenshot, I push the 'print screen' key? I've done that, but nothing happened. It's supposed to store them somewhere? I can't find it though...am I stupid? haha.

For the default print screen method, pressing the "prt scrn" key just copies the screen image to your clipboard, and then you have to open another program (like Paint) and paste (ctl-v) the image to a blank canvas. This works ok for some games, but not really for Dungeon Lords since Dungeon Lords doesn't allow you to use alt-tab to see what you got. So for Dungeon Lords you'd have to press "prt scrn" to take the screenshot, then exit Dungeon Lords to check the image, and then re-start Dungeon Lords to continue playing. That probably won't be a lot of fun if you plan to take a lot of screenshots.

You can also use a screenshot program like HyperSnap-DX. It'll collect the screenshots for you and always put them in the same place, but they'll probably cost you some money to use them.

Hey, thanks I've actually got the screen shot thing down now, but you're right about having to exit every time I want to see it. It's not that bad I guess....I posted a few of my screenshots in the 'let's have fun with screenshots' thread, I'm the latest 2 posts. Check em out!
