Gentlemen, it has come to my attention that some of you are struggling with finding suitable screenshots. While I am tempted to say that poor cameraman-ship is to blame, my minions report that this problem is widespread. As widespread problems indicate issues with the system, I would like to address this myself. I am a reasonable man, and thus I would like to issue newer, simpler cameras as part of the standard equipment for my Mercantiles. As this is company equipment, you may all use it without paying a single credit.

This camera should allow you to take your screenshots by using the middle mouse button. Please pick them up here. Do remember to be grateful to Machidro Inc. for producing such wonderful cameras.

(click to show/hide)

To set up your new camera, just copy the code into a blank text file (such as one made in notepad) and save it as “convenientscreenshot.gml” without the quotation marks. If you log in to your forum account, you can make this step much easier by downloading the plugin directly.

After this, place convenientscreenshot.gml in your plugins folder. If you do not have a plugins folder, make one in your gg2 directory (right click -> new folder -> name it plugins).


For those Mercantiles unfortunate enough not to be in possession of a middle mouse button, we do have alternate camera configurations such as follows:

This camera allows the space bar to take screenshots.

Code: [Select]

object_event_add(SSControl, ev_keypress, vk_space, '
takeScreenshot()
');
This camera allows the tab key to take screenshots.

Code: [Select]

object_event_add(SSControl, ev_keypress, vk_tab, '
takeScreenshot()
');
This camera allows the R key to take screenshots. To use another letter (or number), simply replace the R in the code with your desired alphanumeric key, making sure the quotes are preserved.

Code: [Select]

object_event_add(SSControl, ev_keypress, ord("R"), '
takeScreenshot()
');

Should you require further training in camera use, please contact my minions or myself for aid.

Can I recommend Gifcam http://blog.bahraniapps.com/gifcam/ for being great at recording short segments of gg2 at near perfect quality.

You are more than free to. You have done a great service to our cause, Mr. Bullets.

dsm has a freely rebindable screenshot key

screenshotting with the dsm camera still makes me lose a bunch of frames
