Title: question about films.
Post by: trigger2 on August 30, 2007, 04:43:21 PM

I'm fairly new to using the film viewer, i've kept it relativly to screenshots but i've noticed that if i film fights, i can find better screenshots in the film, and i can find out 1)if i lost, what i could of done (learn from your mistakes :]) and 2) if i won, was there any way i could of done better (usually is)
so my question is
is there any way to get a screenshot out of a film?

Yes, there is. First you have to get the camera position that you want. Once you have your camera position, hit the full screen button. Now, your image takes up the whole screen. Then, hit the Prnt Scrn button on your keyboard. The image is now saved onto your computer's clipboard. :aok

Your mouse can still spoil the image. Move it to the lower border so it's just off-screen, THEN hit printscreen. :aok

Here's is the correct way to do it (in detailed style)

First start up your computer. Once it load all that crap and you close down all the programs you may not need, open the Aces High game. select Online arena, click OK on your account info, and select an arena. Find a base and plane to up from (remember to bring ord if you want) and go ahead and up. Once you get to a point in your flight when you wish to take a screenshot from your "Aces High Film Viewer", hit alt-R to record. After you die or kill the enemy hit alt-R to stop recording, and go land. Exit the game and go to your Aces High Folder. Open the Aces High Film Viewer, click file, open, click Film_1 (or whatever film you just recorded), and click open. Play the film until you get to a point where you think "I want a screenshot of that". Pause the film, set up the camera angel using Internal, External, Chase, Fixed, gunsight, or bombsight view. Once you have the camera angle set up click the "View Full Screen" button. The screenshot will now fill the screen. Move our mouse so it dissapears beyond the screen border and press the "Print Screen" button located above your Insert key. Click anywhere on the screen, close down the Film Viewer, Close your AH folder, and open "Paints". Click "Edit" and "Paste". Your screenshot will now appear on Paints. Click File, Save As, Name it, and save it to your desktop or Picture Folder (or wherever you please). You have now made a screenshot using the AH Film Viewer :)

Told ya it would be detail style :lol
