Can someone tell me how to take snapshots on OFP? I see them everywhere but have been too forgetful to ask.

2- Wach Carefully your keyboard

4- Press it!!!
5- Go to windos Paint or other Graphics Editor
6- go to Edit tool bar, and select "paste"
7- take the brush and write carefully "flauta RuleZ"

once you have your pic, open up the Paint program that came with Windows. now, because the pic is in the clipboard, press ctrl+v. it may ask if you would like to resize the bitmap, in this case say yes. then, save your pic as you would any other picture (File/Save). This system works to take pictures of anything and everything that is on your screen.

*NOTE* due to the usage of the clipboard to store the picture, using any other clipboard function (such as copy or cut) will delete the picture if you don't save it.

I use Taksi 0.5 (http://taksi.sourceforge.net/); a freeware screen/video capturing program.
Just unzip it somewhere and execute taksi.exe, assign the keys for capturing, minimise the program (don't close it!)  and start OFP. :)

Taksi! Omg, thank you so much, I've been searching around for a freeware type deal like Fraps, because i'm poor and cheap. heh.

What compression codec do you use for Taksi?

Title: Re:snapshots
Post by: Blanco on 31 Mar 2005, 14:37:53

What's the problem?
Taksi can only write uncompressed AVI...

Title: Re:snapshots
Post by: snoopyowns on 31 Mar 2005, 20:41:04

version .51 lets you choose a compression

Post by: Blanco on 31 Mar 2005, 20:53:23

ah, cool  :P
I never tried version 5.1, is it stable?

Title: Re:snapshots
Post by: snoopyowns on 31 Mar 2005, 21:07:28

no problems yet, other than i can't find a decent quality codec for lots of motion. I tried divx, but it pixelates really badly, but is small, or i try Cinepak, and its great quality, but kinda big, problem with that is it lags my computer really hard.

What's up with the bump prophet? I don't mean to offend you, but this topic is kinda...well...dead.

Post by: oyman on 03 Apr 2005, 02:59:57

well, I got a question, how do you get taski to record, I press the record button but nothing happens :-\

Title: Re:snapshots
Post by: Blanco on 03 Apr 2005, 04:18:07

Don't close it, minimise it.
Works perfect here.
Do you see a green square in the top leftside of your screen?
