Screenhot

Well can anyone tell me how to take a screenshot while playing civ3. Today I was playing civ3 1.29 version and by now i must have played like about 80 turns and babylon approched me with an offer to trade world maps since i had uncovered very little i agreed and guess what the map he gave me uncovered the whole world. Light house hadnt been built yet either. I wanted to taek a screenshot but damn i didnt know how

OK.

First of all, before you start the game, open Paint, or any similar program. Then, with Paint open, start Civ3 and load your game.

Go to when you want to take the screenshot, and press "PrintScreen" on your keyboard.

Next, hit Alt-Tab. Paint should open. Paste the picture into Paint, and there you go.

Seeing as you are from India, and I am from America, your keyboard may be different, so this might not work.

You can download PSP 3.1 (for quick editing, and the expiration doesn't cripple the program) at http://www.jasc.com (select the downloads, and go to Win 3.x). Yes, I know it says Win 3.x, but it's a quick program for copying and pasting.

Suleiman: read the FAQ thread and the newie questions thread. both are sticky - that is they stay at the top of page one.

welcome to CFC!

PSP is a very good program, and 3.1 is excellent. i use a (legal) copy of PSP 6, and it makes capturing screenshots very easy.
