Screenshots?

Post » Wed May 09, 2012 6:15 am

Some screenshot questions.

How do you take them without using Fraps or something else. Is there a way to edit the .ini file and make them active (like in OB)? Once active, how do you take them? Once you take them where are they at?

Also, how do you remove the HUD? I've seen some shots without the compass.

Thanks.

For me it's the "Print Scrn" key on my computer and they go into the Skyrim folder.

Ok, I been playing a while now. I hit [Prt Scrn] and I get a message that an screenshot was taken. But where is it? I can't find it anywhere on my hard drive.

Thanks.

Also any luck on removing the HUD and compass?

F12 is the Steam key to take SS

then Shift+tab to see them.

If you do Print, skyrim will make .bmp files that are huge. I think that is better use the Steam screenshots by pressing F12

To remove compass and quest markers you go to ../documents/my games/Skyrim folder and edit SkyrimPrefs.ini

look for these values:

bShowCompass=1
bShowQuestMarkers=1

and change them to 0.

I already have a bunch of screenshots taken (I'll use Fraps from now on) but I want to find them. I'm sure there are about 30 .bmp files somewhere (taken shots from Prt Scrn, but where are they?

Thanks.
