Could you put a picture of the volcano?

Will do. First of all, I have no idea on how to take screenies during cutscenes.

Kays · Jun 16, 2006

Lol, it should be the same way as in the game ALT + S. ???

Btw, forgot to comment on it earlier, but nice job on that script.

Just haven't had a chance to try it yet.

Cheers for that Kays. Perhaps, i just thought now about trying the Ctrl+Print Screen or Alt+Print Screen

Kays · Jun 16, 2006

Just Print Screen works if you're running an image capture app in the background. Or Alt-Tab out of the game and use an imaging app.

The Alt+S method saves it to a folder as a .png somewhere in that profile's folder.

I found that when i DO do it in the game, it freezes the same way when taking a screenie. In the end you open something like word and do a special paste, it inserts the result of the "Print Screen", and unfortunately it only paste a pic of the challenge file. In my case Land2871.chl. Oh well, just a thought. :rolleyes
