hit the "print screen" button, i think it is next to "scroll lock" but don't quote me, then you can go into your favorite imaging program, and paste it in:D

You need to bind a key to "screenshot" or "screenshot silent"

"screenshot" writes a screenshot verification and number in the upper lefthand corner, "screenshot silent" doesn't (my preference for a cleaner look).

I use my PageDown key

Open the console (Shift and ~) and enter

/bind PGDN "screenshot silent"

The screenshots will be in a screenshot folder in your base folder or the mod folder if you are using a mod like JA+.

You might also want to bind a key to toggle your HUD (Head Up Display) off and on for an uncluttered screenshot. I use the End key

/bind END "cg_draw2d !"

Pressing the key once turns off your HUD, pressing it again turns it back on.

according to Amidala's script you'd press Page Down to get the screenshot.

it should be in your base folder or the mod folder in a sub folder called screenshots.

samus, if you're on a Windows 98, go to C:\WINDOWS\Program Files\Lucasarts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\base\screenshots. Your screenshots will be there. OR, if you're on Windows XP, go to C:\Program Files\Lucasarts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\base\screenshots.

If you come here and say "i culdnt find them" I'll stab you to death. :xp:

Dude, how are we supposed to view an image from your your computer when it's off? Get an ImageShack or PhotoBucket account to host picts online. :rolleyes:

bind ANYKEY "cg_draw2d 0; wait 2; screenshot silent; wait 2; cg_draw2d 1"

Don't be too hard on him, guys. Samus's big bro, you might have to do some work yourself, keep in mind!


I just go into the console and type:

/bind f12 screenshot.

Tap the f12 key and then go into my /base folder and there it is in jpg format.

Since I use a custom install, you can just search your computer for:

shot*.jpg

and you will find the folder where they are.

To do that I run the game in a window instead of full-screen. Then I hold down Alt and press PrtScn. That takes a screenshot of the active window (Jedi Academy) and holds it in the Windows Clipboard. Then I Paste it into a graphics program (use MS Paint if you don't have anything else) and save it.

I think "strange" is the wrong word to use. I'm not even going to state the adjectives I'd call him, or else I'd get banned. :mad:

You can also make screenshots with this software, you have to choose wich button you want to use before though!!!!!!:p
You can also capture video when you playing games!!!!!!!!!!:cool:
