Taking a screenshot can be a cumbersome process. You have to hit the "print screen" key, alt-tab to windows, start your paint program, paste, and save. If you don't take care to clear out the clipboard buffer, you may actually crash your game.
But, there is now a better way.
I wrote a utility that I call the ScreenShotAssistant. Now, to take a screenshot, you run this utility before you start Civ, decide on the naming convention and types of files you want to save, minimize and then start Civ. When you want a screenshot, simply hit the "print screen" key and the ScreenShotAssistant does the rest. It also clears the clipboard after saving the image to make sure that Civ doesn't have memory issues.
This is the first release, and I would love feedback. You can post here and on the forums at the project website, http://sourceforge.net/projects/screenassist.
EDIT: SSA 2.21 now available, with added features such as the "Generate Webpage" button, "Copy Filenames" button and the much requested "Civ 3" turn extractor. Go download now!
EDIT: SSA 2.1 now available, with added features such as the pause button and Index padding. Go download now!
