sry for your losses, Frau Kaleun and martin1004!
for me it's sailing home to Brest after a pretty successful patrol (7ships, 52k tons). the ride into the sunrise reveals all the beauty of the type VII: http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/6697/beautycp.jpg p.s: the water is the mod of rik007 (SH5water for SH3) |
I seem to be having problems taking screenshots ,someone just clarify this for me,is it CTRL+F11 or CTRL+PRINTSCREEN? and the location of the screenshot/s in the SH3 directory?
Thanks :yep: |
for me it's CTRL+F11
and it saves directly into the root directory of the game as a *.bmp-file |

How about trying a IXB, with the Weapons Officer ON, and Auto Targeting OFF? |

I hate going down there. I had thought my U37's total tonnage might be a-little high historicaly, until I looked up The Real U37. WOW! My U37: 9 Patrols. 29 Merchants for 166.147 GRT. The Real U37 (Type IX "A"): 11 Patrols prior to becoming a School Boat. 53 Merchants for 200.124 GRT! (1 damaged at 9.494 GRT) 2 Warships for 2.404 Tons. She survived, only to be scuttled on d. 8. maj 1945. Whew! What a boat! I play Boat Carreers as opposed to Commander's Carreers. None of my boats carry external reloads, thus giving the variouse VIIs a more that even footing with my IXs. It also gives my late war boats (If I get that far alive) a slightly better chance to compete. Type II (all): 5 Torpedoes. Type VII: 11 Torpedoes. Type IX: 12 Torpedoes. Type VIIB (and up): 12 Torpedoes. Type IXB (and up): 14 Torpedoes. I've got to figure out how to "zero out" my tonnage when I get a new boat. (That way SH3 can do the math, instead of me. I hope.) |

The last time I was actually trying to sneak through between Scapa and the Scottish mainland at periscope depth, spotted a destroyer, and blew her to kingdom come. Then her friends came and returned the favor. Probably not a facepalm in the world that's facepalmy enough for that escapade. I might try a Type IX if'n I ever live that long and have enough for the upgrade. Still too enamored of the Type VII to be all that interested right now though. |

And on the last note. Enjoy your VIIB. It's a nice ride. |
Still no luck with screenshots
Hate to bring this up again but I tried taking a quick snap of my game again last night,first by using CTRL+F11 then CTRL+PTRSC...no luck :nope:
Pressing F1 to bring the button mapping info up indicates that CTRL+F11 is the correct way? I was looking in the main SH3 directory,and cant see any recent JPG or BMP references to SH3. I think I managed to take a snap ages ago using stock but cant remember which button I used.For the record,I am using the res fix for GWX3 allowing for higher resolutions. Thanks for any help here. |
Obviously the res fix is the culprit here after a bit of reading on the matter.It seems I may not have a valid directory path for the screenshots to be placed in.Opening up the d3d9.cfg I get -
enableScreenshots=1 screenshotPath=. <-- there really is a full stop after the equals sign. So,can someone give me a valid directory to save the shots to,like my documents for example?,would that work? If all else fails is it safe to remove the res fix and revert back to the original GWX3 setup? its ok modding our games but my experience is teaching me that we can do it TOO much eventually breaking a once stable game :damn::zzz: |
Easiest way, and saves a lot of bother is just to hit the "Print Screen" key, then mimimise and open MS Paint, then select "Paste" and your screenie should appear right there, then save to whereever you want.
Not sure if some people get crashes when minimising but I never had a problem with it (so far). :salute: |

It comes from Unix where . means = current directory and .. = the directory above ex. you can copy a file by doing : cd c:\toto copy c:\somefile . This copies file somefile located in c:\toto to the current directory (the .) That's why you see a . and .. when you do a dir Or a ls on a Unix machine running Linux or BSD. |
Careful what you change in your game,its sometimes better to leave WELL alone!

I am going to remove the res fix and revert to how things were,at least everything worked as it should then. Thanks for the comment :yep: |

After sneaking in to the port of Reykjavik in early May 1942 I sank New Orleans class battleship and Brooklyn class battleship, both over 12 000 tons.
I also sank all the small destroyers docked there to guarantee my safe exit and a few tankers that were coming to the port on my way back. Great patrol, never sunk a battleship in a career before and blasted 2 of them. |

Sounds like you had a good harvest out there. |
glad, you're doing fine in your new career, martin1004! :up:

Good show, Martin! |

Submarines: Fish. Battleships: States. Cruisers: Cities. Destroyers: Heroic Figures (Usualy deceased). Still, quite an accomplishment. |
@Paul
Have you considered installing a screen capture programme such as fraps? |
