Can't take screenshots

[Snakezz]

When i try taking screenshots, and then pasting them in paint, or searching for the file names that they supposedly have, they just do not exist. What's going on with that? Running on Windows 7.

You dont have to push "print" an afterwards paste in paint, there is a button for it , you can find in "controls".
Normally F12 - creates .png's directly in your zandronum directory.

Yeah, but the thing is, Windows now has UAC (Not a joke, started in Server '08 and Vista). Zandronum cannot write to the directory you have it installed to, most likely. To test, run as admin and try taking a (single player) screenshot.

I'm guessing you have the same problem as me.
The screenshots you take aren't taken to the Zandro folder because of what Doc said, so you have to check in:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Skulltag (or Zandronum)

Or change folder permissions for the Zandro folder, or move it to somewhere else.

UAC don't want any evidence >.>
If you'd prefer to make screenshots manually, via PrtScr button and pasting, I recommand IrfanView.

[Doc Holliday]

I just have Zand installed to one centralized Doom folder, with the rest of my sourceports and wads. From there I customized the permissions.

Don't know if this has anything to do with this thread, but you could use the 'screenshot_dir' command to change where screenshots end up.
