lentulus -> A question about exported images (8/16/2011 2:26:20 PM)

I see a lot of very nice map images from TOAW users on various sites. Is the ability to export detailed, cropped image a feature of the product?



Oberst_Klink -> RE: A question about exported images (8/16/2011 2:56:44 PM)

There's a screen capture feature built in TOAW; for my scrennshots and editing I use a program called Photoscape; it's free and workds fine for AAR and my Tutorial slides *see blog*.

Thanks! Both a great feature, and an incredibly quick and well presented response. I think this one will be a "must buy"

It's easier than Photoshop and got great features, too!

I can't seem to get the "create map" feature to work when I've opened an "END_OF_TURN..." file. It works fine on normal hotseat games. [&:]



ogar -> RE: A question about exported images (8/31/2011 2:55:00 AM)

I also have hit this same problem. I tried saving the map image for .sal of a PBEM game I'm playing; I did not get the message box prompting for the save name/directory. I tried again with a pbl of an old turn -- same lack of message box. I did a visual check, and ran search for recent .jpegs -- no sign of these. But for a .sal from against the PO, this works fine.

I wonder if it's related to the 'goodbye' that happens after you save a turn of a PBEM -- even if the turn is not over, TOAW goes away. Just a guess. I too wish it worked with EOTs.



Oberst_Klink -> RE: A question about exported images (8/31/2011 4:23:03 AM)

As Ogar said, it's part of the 'Goodbye' message and the anti-cheat feature; my guess as well.

Panama -> RE: A question about exported images (8/31/2011 3:23:43 PM)

Perhaps a pat on the head before the 'goodbye'. Give you a chance to take a picture? If the turn is not written to the disk yet I don't see how you could cheat.



Oberst_Klink -> RE: A question about exported images (8/31/2011 3:56:46 PM)

Just checked it out myself... ain't taking a bloody picture at all at a PBEM. Where is it normally stored? Root folder or Saved?

Klink, Oberst



ogar -> RE: A question about exported images (8/31/2011 4:26:36 PM)

@Panama
It sort of looks like it might be working; you click on the option, but no message box appears. If you're still playing the pbl/sal-from-pbem, then you can continue. There is no jpeg created.

@Oberst
I usually find the map jpegs in the 'main' scenario directory/folder smooshed in with the sitreps, the accursed-auto-sals, etc.




jarraya -> RE: A question about exported images (10/18/2011 4:01:36 PM)

I am having the same issue and it is very annoying. You can't do it at any time during the turn. It seems the feature is disabled in the PBEM game.



patton1950 -> capturing a screen shot - how??? (3/26/2012 7:02:42 PM)

Oberst-

You said that there is a screen capture feature built in, but I can't seem to make the "create map image" buttons work...

I know that there is photo-editing software available, but first I need to get a screen shot captured; how do I do that?

I am starting a game of Brian Topp's Battle for Moscow (v 1.93), and would like to do a series of AAR's about the progress, but I need to be able to capture screen shots to make it meaningful.

Any help will be appreciated; I tried to find it on Gefechtsstand, but did not see anything about how to capture the screen shot to get started.



sPzAbt653 -> RE: capturing a screen shot - how??? (3/26/2012 9:50:29 PM)

Try hitting 'print screen' on the keyboard, then open the program and 'paste' it in.



patton1950 -> RE: capturing a screen shot - how??? (3/26/2012 9:56:47 PM)

Thanks! That did it....never knew how the Print Screen key worked until now!
