Hi guys! How can I make screenshots when running a game executable like Yo frankie?
The gnome screenshot tool doesn’t work.

There is a button on your keyboard ‘PrtScn’, its usually above the ‘Home’ key and to the right of the F keys. Press that when you want to get a screenshot, then open up paint and press ctrl+v or select paste from the edit menu.

If when you paste it in there and its some random picture or nothing shows up the you probably need to disable/enable ‘F Lock’ if you have it.

In python:


import Rasterizer
Rasterizer.makeScreenshot("myScreenshot")

“myScreenshot” is of course the file name.
The image format (jpeg or png or bmp etc) the screenshot is saved as is set in Scene(F10). ie Buttons Window Menu -> Panels Scene(F10) -> Format Tab
