FRAPS and SDL version
« on: July 28, 2010, 04:18:36 pm »
I can't get FRAPS to take screenshots when I'm running the SDL version of DF. It works in the legacy version, but I was hoping to use Mayday's graphical edition...

Anyone know a workaround? Or a good alternative piece of software for taking screenshots (i.e., that saves screenshots directly to a folder)?

Try a different print-mode. IIRC FRAPS works by intercepting opengl calls; the SDL version defaults to 2D output (they're safest), but any of the others would use opengl.

How do I change that?

EDIT: found it...trying now. :)

iirc alt + printscreen copies the top window to the clipboard.
