[Pipmak-Users] [pipmak-users] Screenshots

[Riko-kun <wa...@ma...>]

Hi.
Do not think i'm lazy or anything, i did some searching before posting this,
but din't find anything about how to get a screenshot out of Pipmak. Is
there some lua code i can manage to export current view to lets say .png
file?
Thanks a lot.

Currently there is no way of taking screenshots from within Pipmak. 
Would that be a useful feature for you? If so, can you explain what you 
would use it for, so I get an idea of how it should work? E.g., if the 
screenshot goes to a file, as you suggest, where should that file be 
placed? Wouldn't it be more useful to have the screenshot directly in an 
image object that you can use in a patch?

Of course, to take screenshots from outside of Pipmak, you can just use 
whatever means your OS provides for that purpose (cmd-shift-3 etc. on 
Mac OS, Print Screen on Windows, ...).

Well yeah, i woul'd like to have this feature. It woul'd be greate for
posting images on blendernations or something ^_^ I know i can grab it using
printscreen, but then i have to crop it and save it in separate prog and i'm
somehow lazy to do that ^_^

If you would implement this feature, i think it woul'd be best if the images
was saved inside the engine directory (that means in the directory with
pipmak.exe on winz)

Cheers, Marek

Do you know that Alt+PrintScreen grabs only the focused window?

OK... to be honest, I don't see that use as a high priority feature. I 
thought you wanted to use the screenshot within Pipmak, which wouldn't 
be possible with externally taken screenshots.

The feature you want may come about as a side effect when PNG saving 
(for painted hotspot maps) and internal screenshotting (for saving a 
screenshot in a saved game file) are implemented, but these aren't very 
high on my priority list right now. Of course, contributions are always 
welcome...

You might want to look for a screenshot application that lets you set a 
capture rectangle once and reuse it for many shots. I don't know any for 
Windows, but I would assume there are dozens. (FRAPS perhaps?)

I understand this. I was just asking if there is such option so i'm not
searching for something that doesn't exist ^_^;;
I can manage without it, just tought it woul'd be nice. Thanks you for your
answers.
