Off-topic : moncal', maybe you should download and install a Software dedicated to the taking of Screen Captures, such as Boumchalak© GrabClipSave or any other Specialized Utility available through the consulting of this SnapFiles Section ?...

I might download and install what u linked to me Leviathat. What i really wanted was a button i could click to capture a screenshot without the download. For Example, in SWBF2 u press "print screen".

What button do i press to take screenshots?

Off-topic : That is a good question, moncal', but as even Google© has been completely unable to provide me possible answers to such a question, I guess that ways intended to take Screenshots from and thanks to Star Wars : Empire At War could be either rather "restricted" or simply non-existent...

Im asking because ive seen POTDs on FileFront for EAW.

Ill keep searching for the creenshot button and c where the screenshots goto when i find the button when i get back to my house in NYC. Im currentlly at my country house in CT, USA.

why not just use print screen..

default is F12, but i dunno where it puts them. in the future you can just check the controls ingame...
and the reason not to use prtscrn is because then you'd have to open an image program of some sort and paste it before you can take another screen, which of course gets to be a major pain if you want to take more than one.

it is F12. Thanks. "Print Screen" is for SWBF2.

I will look for the pics I took.

The screenshots go to
C:, Documents and settings, owner, application data, petroglyph, EAW, screenshots.
(they're put into Tga format btw)
Ps don't ask me why they made it so difficult

Thanks General_Grievous_4. I wonder if I could change the path so the screenshots could goto C:>ProgramFiles>LucasArts>SWEAW>GameData like the SWBF2 pics except for EAW.

Off-topic : I guess that proceeding to such a modification of the Instructions followed by Star Wars : Empire At War would require a Hexadecimal Editing of this LucasArts video-game's main Executable, which would be rather "valuable" in case both the Path Star Wars : Empire At War uses in order to transfer the Screen Captures you would have taken earlier, and the one you would wish to associate them to, contain an approaching Amount of Characters.
On the other hand, you could equally create either a *.BAT file or a Microsoft© VBScript one intended to move the Screenshots you would have created from their current Location to a one you would have picked up...

Off-topic : I am wondering whether you have already looked at the messages having been posted prior to yours, SupremeDarthMonk, and since you seem not to be that worried by the fact a few GameToast High-Rank Members could control this sub-forum, I would nevertheless remind you that Rules exist and are applied on this Message-Board, and in case you decided not to respect them, then be sure a simple topic's Locking will not the only measure I will take in the future...
