Screenshot in GPL

Can someone tell me how to take a screen capture in GPL. Not the 3d, but the newspaper that comes up after a race. I've seen these on the web, but when I try to make it with print screen and paste into mspaint, it comes out all funky looking. I looked but I can't find a keycard for GPL... heh, never needed to look at a keycard for this game before.

After pressing print screen, inside your GPL folder will be a file called GPLssXX.pbf (where the XX is a number). Drag this file onto the program pbf2tga.exe, this will then turn the screenshot into a tga file which can be opened in most paint programs. This doesn't work if you're using the D3D patch, in which case you'd need a program such as hypersnap to take the screenshots. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> Tim Elhajj <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3ab48bba$[email hidden]... > Can someone tell me how to take a screen capture in GPL.

Thanks,Ian. I never knew how to do that either. Is N2 and N3 the same? On Sun, 18 Mar 2001 17:14:21 -0000, "Ian P" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Thanks Ian. I just grabbed pbfvue.exe and it worked just fine. This one even works with the d3d install (although I wasn't running in d3d when I took the capture.)

no! If you had a Rendition card with n2 you couldn't get a screenshot. Even programs like hypersnap wouldn't work...the only way to get N2 screen shots was in 2d(if you had a Rendition) N3 just takes a screenshot as a .tga( I think!) file so you don't need to do any conversion...unless you want to use it as a jpeg for a wep site.. dave henrie "POWER POST 2000" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I don't know about N2 or N3, I no longer have them installed and never took any screenshots. I'm sure there's someone here who could help you though. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> POWER POST 2000 <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Thanks,Ian. > I never knew how to do that either. > > Is N2 and N3 the same? > > >
