Taking a screenshot

The manual says that F2 will take a screenshot and dump the file to the BBCBA folder under My Documents, however I can't find any images there.
Does anyone know if this functionality works?

Something I can add and perhaps Junk2Drive can add this to manual additions.
In the "Documents\My Games\BBCBA" folder you will find a USER.TXT file ... If it's not already there you can use NotePad and create a txt file or another document creater (I don't know what a Mac uses).
You'll also note (in the same folder) that there is another folder called AUTODOCS. If you open this folder you'll see more txt files. The file called "Tweaks.txt" contains switches that you can copy/paste to you USER.TXT file.
Now, to stay on topic ... At the bottom of the tweaks file you'll see this ...
Code: Select all
//0 = tga, 1 = jpg, 2 = png
ScreenShotOutput, 0
If you add this to you USER file you can change the output format of the screenshot ...

... default is TGA.
Hope that helps too!

The user file does nothing for me. Everything gets saved to .tga regardless of the screenshot options.

In the user text file mine was spelled WRONG
SCREENSHOTOUPTPUT
Should be
SCREENSHOTOUTPUT 1
That works for me for a jpeg. I don't know if I did it or if it came that way with the install.

The text was spelt right so I don't know. I guess it's no game breaker, I can always convert tga to something else.
