June 24, 200718 yr Not sure if I'm allowed to post this so Gator or whomever please remove it if not! I hear/read about all of you taking screenies of taking tags or whatever all the time but having to hassle with saving them into paint. This little program (shareware but this is the spyware-free, free version) runs in the background and when you hit Print Screen it auto-saves to a directory you specify. So far haven't had any problems using it in BF2142 don't know about other games. Its an easy install and although this free version won't auto start on startup like the paid version you can just throw it into the windows startup folder. Give it a whirl. Make sure to run the setup.exe file not the msi installer, this is in case you need the .NET Framework 2.0 (it can download and install it for you).
June 24, 200718 yr Author i've never used xfire so I guess that would explain why I didn't know there was one built in lmao. I've been a Y!M junkie for 5 years. Thx for the tip on that UnderSpy
June 24, 200718 yr 2142 automatically does this for me...After hitting "print screen" the image gets saved twice(jpg, bmp) in documents/bf2142/screenshots
June 24, 200718 yr lol, I know phrogg was having a problem...Let's face it, it's a buddy game so not everything works perfectly for everyone. Plus atleast this gives you the choice of where to save it, It would be real cool if you could map a different key to do it, and if it doesn't lag the game while taking a screen.
June 24, 200718 yr Author yea the paid version lets u choose a hotkey but I doubt you all want to pay $15 for it.
June 24, 200718 yr phxtravis, you need to do something special in order for it automatically save like that?
June 24, 200718 yr Author yes good question, cause I looked in the Battlefield 2142 folder earlier before installing SSLite and I had to create a screenshots folder. Are you referring to the program folder or the /my documents folder or neither?
June 24, 200718 yr Yeah, as sspeaks said...I didn't have to do anything, it automatically did it for me. Check in your "My Documents" folder. By the way , BF2 also does this for me, so if you have BF2 you might want to check that to. I also have FRAPS on my PC, but I can only use it for screen shots in BF2142 for some reason I can't take videos but I can in R6:Vegas:confused:
