Taking a Screenshot

Post by Sennaae » Wed Jan 05, 2005 5:19 pm

I have WinEQ 2.0 Lite, can I take screenshots using this? It says ingame that I've taken a pic but when I check my screenshots folder there's nothing in it. Do they go to a different place or what?

Screenshots work fine and WinEQ doesn't change the location of the screenshot taken. In fact, WinEQ has no knowledge a screenshot being taken or where they're stored. Perhaps you're looking in the wrong place? hmm

Unless it's changed, does'nt EQ take screenshots in BMP format - they should be in the c:\Program Files\EverQuest\Screenshots subdirectory, please note that later installations of EQ put that in c:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\Screenshots.

The BMP format would explain why you found no files searching for JPG or GIF.

all true, but it should also be mentioned that both the format of the screenshots and their initial location can be changed in the eqclient.ini.

dont see were you can change your location in the eqclient.ini or the format. it defaults as bmp and you have to use an editor to change it. All you can do in eqclient.ini is change the number its going to call it

You CAN change it to JPG at the very least. They added that option a couple years ago.
ScreenshotType=XXX Where XXX can be one of the following format: BMP, JPG, TGA, DDS, PNG. If this is missing the default will be BMP, all screenshots are saved in the Screenshot folder.
google search for "ScreenshotType eqclient.ini", this page: http://www.onlinegamecommands.com/everq ... client.htm
