Best way to take screenshots?

Like the title says, what is the best way to take screenshots? Back in the days I had some special snapshot program that was needed because I was using a Voodoo card, and regular screencapture didn't work. I know about the set f12screengrab option, but I assume I have to input that command every single game?

Hey, i think nowadays ppl just use the Print key, switch back to windows and paste them into paint - which makes it necessary to interrupt the game for a certain time... the f12screengrab you have to input every time - but there's a way to just load one file with all the commands you need for getting it started...

Not sure if you know about it yet - but i'll give you an example, if you already know, sorry Wink

:

so for example, if you use a fov 60 or something and some disabletaunts = 1 or whatever, you may create a file called "blabla.txt" (or whatever) in your turok folder with following lines:

set f12screengrab 1
set disabletaunts 1
set fov 60
define 1 "visit !!!www.turok.forumactiv.com!!!!"
...
...

so ingame you start, open console, type "read blabla.txt" like the name of your created file in the turok folder, and all the commands which are inside of that file will be executed.

Dunno if you know about that define thing, but if you now write in a message @1 (1 = the number in the define, may be another), the stringg which is place there in the " " will be printed out. So if you write like To All: @1 it will appear like Chief(NL): visit !!!www.turok.forumactiv.com!!!! for other players Wink

I don't use a custom settings file at the moment, but I might look into this. I'll see if I can get my old snapshot program to work under XP. It's a very neat program, you can even make it start a file it writes with a certain prefix, like the month and then make it use increasing numbers, so create files like "july2012_001" "july2012_002", etc...

Or try the program "FRAPS", it's for recording and taking screenshots with a hotkey.
