I have made a Nelson checker corvette style paint job but how do i make screen shots of it and where do i upload etc so u guys can tell me what u fink?
 
You hit the `PrintScreen-key` in game, paste it in your paintprogram and save that picture as JPEG.
Then you have to upload it. -> <a href="http://imageshack.us/" target="_blank">http://imageshack.us/</a>

edit: Remember that URL which is shown when upload is finished.
 
That is unusual. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
Because the WM_KEYDOWN message with parameter VK_SNAPSHOT isnt changed by PotC. That means that WM_KEYDOWN with parameter VK_SNAPSHOT will be sended to DefWindowProc() of OS which makes by default a screenshot.

Which version of PotC do you use?

I suggest to test the PrintScreen key once more and try to paste it in MSPaint.
If that wont work, maybe that a hook is running on your machine or an other program has changed that DefWindowProc(). <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Maybe Catalina can say something about this, because she has written, some time ago, about the difficulty to make a screenshot.
 
Press F5 puts yer pic in yer POTC directory in TGA format,than ye need a photo editor te change it te JPG <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
PrintScreen has worked for me in fullscreen mode... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Yes, I use PrintScreen in fullscreen too.

Cornish the way it works is this, you hit the "Prt Scr" button once - then exit the game and open up MS Paint - you can then Edit/Paste (the image is on the clipboard so you can Ctrl/V to put it there too) to get the image. Then you can save it as whatever you wish - for editing purposes. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
 
Even better... if you have the GM viewer, you can "Prnt Scrn" in there, and that way change the size, angle of the model.

<b>emrep</b>, just for the sake of my education: how do you know what WM_ Messages POTC changes or doesn't ?
 
Any time I've ever tried to Prt Scr a window I just get the entire desktop with the window in it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

And the printscreen works like it should be. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

edit:
Sorry Inez. I was completly wrong.
The printscreen key makes a different WM_Message then the other keys. Therefore i cant presuppose that the printsceen key is handled like the other keys.
 
Well, I was wrong, too, about it not working in full screen mode. It doesn't for me <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ib012.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cry" border="0" alt="ib012.gif" />
 
Well, you coudda tried F5, it can't do any harm, can it? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

(It puts the screenshot in TGA format in the PotC directory, yes.)
 
Isn't it F8? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> Or am I thinking of another game?
 
Hm, maybe that i'm wrong (no longer tapsi in mirror shop <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blah:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />), but for build12:
