Title: Screen Shots Need help
Post by: A51533 on February 08, 2009, 10:11:37 AM
Ok this is my problem. I take screen shots using ALT-S. From that point on I am lost. Where does the picture go so I can view it or download it on my computer. I have searched the film viewer but there is nothing there. So where do I go.

If you are using XP, your screenshots are located in your Aces High program folder. Standard location would be c:\program files\HTC\Aces High II

for people using Windows XP, you will find them in the C:\programfiles\HTC\AcesHighII\  folder

listed as ahss0.bmp, ahss1.bmp, ahss2.bmp

for people using Windows Vista

best I could tell you is do a file search  searching for files listed as ahss.bmp  

this should show you what directory they are placed in


wow, Lusche , you type fast........ 

also some people do not put Aces High in the program files,  as with me, mine is located in

C:\HTC\AcesHighII\  folder    on Windows XP

It doesn't jam the folder full of BMP's if you hit the print screen button does it?

I better check.  I HATE having all kinds of junk on my boot/app drive.

If it does can you re-target the destination folder?

Print screen just puts one screenshot in your windows clipboard, a temporary file only. The next screenshot taken that way overwrites it.

The AH screenshots that are stored in the folder are made with ALT-S

In my opinion, this is the worst way to take screenshots (unless you're just trying to get the text buffer or something).

Record what you wish to get a screenshot of (using Alt+R) and use the Print Screen key you have found the perfect frame you want in the film and have set it to full-screen mode.

This way you can adjust zoom, angles, perspective etc etc.


That will leave you with the option to get shots like this:
