C&C 95 Screenshots

[Wee_Ooh 0]

Is it possible to take screenshots from C&C95? Print Screen just takes a black screen...

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Can't be done that way. You get the screwiness.

Too bad I forgot the right method.

[Malevolence 6]

You have to use an external software to do this.

Dang it! I always start topics on the wrong board.

 

Thanks for the help, DD. >_>

 

Do you know of a specific program, Malevolence? I've tried to find one before, but I didn't have any luck. Maybe because I was looking for a free program...

[Malevolence 6]

It's so long and kinda forgot about what software was that. Maybe you should try asking in the official EA C&C forums?

There are many methods you can use to create a screenshot from C&C1/RA95.

 

You can use Fraps

You can use ArsClip just start it and take a screenshot with print screen and paste it paint.

 

and there is a guide made by Nyerguds somewhere on CnCWorld which keeps the orginal palletes which makes the picture higher quality, but I cant find it....

Thanks a lot. Now I'm going to make a TD sig. Hopefully.

[Nyerguds 102]

There's some more methods... one is to keep Word or another MS Office program open while playing, and then the Office clipboard will keep the palette. Though this method does screw up the palette a bit, the end result is pretty decent.

 

The 'perfect' method is to simply load the original palette back into the screenshot. It is explained at the CnCWorld forum, here:

Why do you need to take screenies to begin with?

[Wee_Ooh 0]

Well, I'd like to get a decent sig, and CnC95 is my favorite CnC game...

What kind of stupid question is that?

[Malevolence 6]

Just want to why does he need the screenshots that badly? Is there anything wrong? Now that he said its for his banner project, my question's answered.

Basically he's a spammer

[Nyerguds 102]

I make C&C95 screenshots all the time... to show off my projects, to clarify bugs, to show easter eggs... plenty of reasons.

You are just jealous.

[Guest Stevie_K]

You are just jealous.

 

Yeah... Or he thinks you might want to read before posting

good on him i like the old style banners just look at mine

[CCHyper 3]

On a note, im working on some code for C&C for Nyer, that allows the game to dump the screen to a PCX file, full palette captured too.

[comander starlin 6]

now that is what i call cool, keep us updated on this

[Nyerguds 102]

Heh, yeah, RA already has some sort of video capture code. It dumps a bunch of pcx files in the game folder, but every time it dumps the next bunch it overwrites the previous one, lol. Makes it kinda useless for actual video capturing of more than 1 second

 

For now, I posted a pretty straightforward guide here:
