Silkroad Online Forums

Ok, two ways to get lots of screen shots really fast are:
BO-SHOT.
here is a link, it's from another game but can be useful here also.

The other, very simple, comes standard with Silkroad.
Spam the Print Screen Button. Some people will find that at Function-Insert, others, I don't know.


But where do these screen shots go?
BO-SHOT is where ever you set it.

The Silkroad is Under Program Files, Silkroad, Screenshots.

most of the SS in my SRO folder turn out black
this helps allot thanks

fraps has that feature also ...

windows can take screen shots, why do you think keyboards have print screen buttons? i dont see why people have to download programs to do it.

doesnt print screen just put what ever is on the screen onto clipboard, it doesnt actually save it anywhere. ( i think ).

yes, you have to save it yourself, but id rather do that then get a program just to do that for me, those types of programs usually end up optimising the pics or saving them as .jpg to so they arnt full quality

Any screenshots taken by print screen when playing silkroad will go into your Program File/Silkroad/Screenshots.

yeah, low quality .jpg ones ¬_¬, the screenshots also get put into your clipboard by windows, you can then paste that into a image editor and save it,

That's true, and it depends what you want to do with the screenshot. If you want to record a scene, then the in-game screenshot facility is most convenient -- it's quick and produces a small file which is quick to upload to a website.

If you want to capture some details in full quality, then taking a screenshot without it being exported as a JPEG image is better. I use the GIMP for editing screenshots, so I just use its screenshot feature. This is good if you want text or logos from SRO in high quality. I used to use it to get the guild emblems of our union guilds, to put them on our union website, but then I found out that all the emblems are stored in the Silkroad folder anyway.
