IM me if u need help

Your tutorial is on how to post pictures. He wants to know how to take them during a game of Halo.

You want to right click on your Halo shortcut (on your desktop...if you have one) and add '-screenshot' behind the target. It should now say:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe" -screenshot

now when in game (i forgot the key) but you press it and it auto takes a pic and places it in a screenshot folder. Which it makes.

Actually my tutorial is how to take and upload, but w/e

I didn't know u could do that! Now I have 3 questions:

What key is it?

Can u run console at the same time?

Does it work for CE as well?

CE has the same feature.

Console can run with it.

The key is one of the F keys. Probably F9 but i'm not sure.

Pie, you know too much, lol

thanks! i will definitly use this....

I just be normal and press prnt screen and save it into whatever program.

In game though, if you do it Pie's way, you can take more than one picture. Halo automatically saves the pictures in a directory it creates for you automatically.

Pie - does this work w/ any other games?

u press prntscrn, but it saves it in the halo folder automatically, so u can hit prntscrn repetivly, it will save them all.

Without -screenshot enabled, it can only do 1 pic (then you have to save it manually) andthen etc.

so in full, -screenshot is better

Where dose it put it?

It puts it in halo/screenshots. It will make the directory for you

so your saying that if i press F9(with -snapshot at the end or target) it will take a pic and save it to that file?

you hit prtscn, halo saves it automatically (as a .tga file)

TGA files take up an enourmous amount of memory, so once ur done playing halo, open all the pitures up in ps7 (paint can't open tga) and save them as a .jpeg.

So, with -screenshot after target, halo will automatically save the pictures for you!

Wahst that prnshot thing?

Look towards the top right of your keyboard, there is a button that says "PrtScn"

On come keyboards, like mine, it says:


Print
Screen
SysRq

how about using fraps or game cam

You could do that, but that would be video, not pictures

Fraps lets you capture pictures too, as a BMP.
