Help on Exoddus PC-version.
 
I got Abe's Exoddus for PC a few weeks ago and I'm through with the game, but I still never figured out how to take screen shots. I know you CAN because I've seen someone mention it on a thread, but how? Any help is deeply appreciated.

This should be in Oddworld Help, for future notice because you are still asking for help, in a way... :S

*Moves topic*

Also, you really need certain prgrams to do that sort of stuff, I know that I use some program named "Flyview" or something like that, so that I can take images/screenshots.

You'd have to look around on the internet.

and then past in a photo program

The print screen bottom didn't work. I remembered taking screen-shots for a game called HalLife, but can't remember how. I think it was one of the F1-F12 keys.

Just to make sure that you're doing it correctly (it should work, unless your print screen button is broken :fuzconf: ):

1. Get to the place in the game that you want to take a snapshot

2. Press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard

3. Either exit out of the game or Alt-Tab out of the game

4. Open up your image editing software (Microsoft Paint will work if you don't have anything else)

5. Either create a new image and select the paste option or some software has the option "Paste as New Image"

I know this works, I've done it plenty of times.

Sometimes print screen won't work as different computers have different settings on what can be done, therefore some computers may not allow you to take print screen, or maybe its the game.

I think thats how it works...I might be wrong.

I can get many pictures of Dripik that way. Thanks! :fuzsmile:
