yes you have to have your image file on the internet - that is the shitty thing...
there are free places where you can have your photos etc stored - go there - doesn't work from your pc at home (hard drive)

 I have a late idea....You can use your battletracker account to post screen shots. I have a ton of screen shots and hours upon hours of video feed from the game that I can use to take more screen shots. I can then use any of those to send in private messages, emails and post on social media. Plus I don't have to buy a webpage or have my images deleted or locked when a free trial account expires.  :D That imgsafe site looks interesting , weird it says no illegal images but  has no definition of illegal that i see yet. I did find several links using google to search for reviews about this imgsafe website. Seems a few were not so happy with Imgsafe.org site. All the complaints I have seen says they could not delete images from the site.

Lord-of-War


Why did I made this thread?!

I am trying to make some event on Wednesday night with random maps which are not played so much anymore.
I have an idea to make screenshots and in the same time also record the game. Of course not only mine. I wanna record all players in the event as well when they are playing.
In the end I would like to make some screenshots from all players together in one place, like helipad for example. All players will meet there at helipad.  ambush & escort - everyone. I want to make great screenshots, different then you ever seen here for memories all in one, like a real soldiers in war.
After all of this, my idea is to edit video and screenshots together and make funny video from it!

Maybe this is all stupid to you  and to other players but I am seeing in front and this could be awesome!

This is the reason why I want to know how to send image from PM-s, also screenshots.
Because I wouldn't do this by my own. Timater will help me and I hope some more players as well!

Just want to learn and make something different, that's all, at least I'm trying..

Lol!

If you need to make a lot of screenshots and upload them at once you can also use steam, the screenshots will also show up in your activity feed tab.

Is it possible to make screenshots all the time in game and then after the game is finish, can i paste them all together in once to PH. Or do i need to make screenshot and immediately paste and save them to P one by one?

With Mac you can ;) button combination makes the screenshot as a .png file to your desktop, dunno if Windows can do the same.

You can type to console: "shot" to take a screenshot or you can press F9 which should execute the "shot" command, I'm not sure where those screenshots are going to. Might be under pb folder?

What is PH?

I know how to make screenshots R.  :cheer: :-)
I am just wondering if there is some button combination also for Windows like for Mac users. Would be easier. Everything goes to one file and after i can copy and edit them in PS.

PH is PS (Photoshop (was written wrong) :-)  :oops:

I havent used "shot" myself so Im not sure if it's the same as printscreen in Windows. If that F9 works like I thought it worked, it would save your shots to one folder ( which would be the answer to one of your questions ) but if not, then it just copies the ss to your clipboard and it disappears unless you paste it, and this wouldnt help you out in this case

Mine F9 doesn't work for screenshots. Maybe there is some way to fix it?

I'm at bed but I try my best: open Assist, choose settings tab, start editing user.ini, scroll down and find F9. If there reads F9=shot then it should work. If you dont have button settings there at that .ini file then they were at the other one :D but I would start with user.ini

So if it's set, then F9 should work like "shot" command. Does your other keys from F-row work, for example F1 or F5? If not then your F-row is disabled from use.

If you press F9, or write to console "shot" (without the "" things) and you are not seeing your ss at clipboard, then it most likely saved the screenshot to Assist folders as a image file

And Assist folders you will find from here, my guess is that they are in some folder under system/pb/

WINDOWS XP: C:\Documents and settings\USERNAME\Application Data\25Assist\
WINDOWS VISTA/7/8/10: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\25Assist\

Quoting the above for visibility.

Regarding taking the screenshot, Snipping Tool is the easiest method in Windows but it doesn't work well for full screen games. The alternative would be the in-game "shot" command that was already mentioned. The downside with that is they are stored in Bitmap (.BMP) format which takes up a lot of space and actually takes a decent amount of time to write to the disk. The file could be 4-6MB which doesn't sound like a lot but adds up if you're rapidly tapping your keybind to get screenshots of action. My personal favorite/alternative to the above is to use FRAPS. Bind a key and set it to record in PNG format. It's lossless (same quality as BMP) but is compressed. They're usually 1-2MB in size and are the best quality you can get with the smallest file size. You can use JPG format but if you're doing graphic work and want exact colors/detail, PNG is better.

 I just want to mention that you must be a registered user for png formating to work. :) So this may save you a few steps to register the software as soon as you install it.

If you press F9 in game the screenshots go to the "screenshots" folder in your AA installation, by default it is where Ronski posted it to be.
For example:
Code: [Select]
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\25Assist\armyops/screenshots
This is by far the simplest way to get screenshots from the game. However, like Spanky mentioned, it can freeze your computer for a second for saving, which is not always ideal.

Good to know, if server is set to take screenshots of players, will those shots go there at server under system/pb/ - might be actually a folder named as "svss". Anyway those pb shots are most likely either black or pink so they are useless nowadays. But with the logic above thought these shots would go to under pb as well :)

This software works well also , https://mirillis.com/en/products/action.html , There is a trial version if one can not afford to buy it. Fraps is a little more basic then mirillis as far as user friendlyness interface goes last time i checked. Both perform very well. There are also a handfull of other wares that will do the trick.

Client != server :)
Yes, the server PBSS (like you said, useless nowadays) should go under /pb/svss.

As for where the SS would go on MAC, I'm not sure.

Yea they are different of course, but the logic could have been the same :)

In Mac I guess they are in same place as for Win users, but you just need to open the .app with right click and choose to open package contents, then you are able to access the files n folders

Some does but most of them are black / pink. Could it be os / graphic card related thing, where there's insufficient permissions to capture the screen?

Yes, it's graphics card/os related (usually).
1) The introduction of Windows 8 meant that everyone on that Windows had pink PB SS. Not only in AA, but in all games apparently. It's possible other games got an update to fix this, but since evenbalance doesn't support AA2 anymore, we obviously didn't.
2) There have always been some graphics cards that have had difficulties making PB screenshots. There have been some "fixes" for these in the past, but I'm not sure about today.
