is there a way to take a screen shot with the UI, except pressing print screen and pasting it into MS Paint?

    print screen works but no need to paste into paint as it saves the screen shot in your sto folder under live and screen shots :)

    yes, it saves a screen shot... with out the UI...
    I want screen shots of the tool tips of abilities... the in game screen shot ability takes the shots with out any UI elements.

    /screenshot_ui_jpg
    or bind a key with the command: /bind <key> screenshot_ui_jpg

    Or you could just press ALT+PrintScrn if you want to take shot with UI.

    That outputs to a .TGA file, I recommend GIMP to view and edit.

    you can always use other programs to take screenshots, like fraps. you can also use raptr or steam, make taking screenshots a lot easier.

    Try this:

    /screenshot_ui_jpg <myimagename>

    Where <myimagename> is an words/numbers, without a file extension (like jpg, as it will be added by the system)

    I use a program called "Lightscreen" and it works great. It's simple and has some great options. It's open source and a 5 MB download for Windows.

    Once installed just hit the "Print Screen" button on your computer ( buttons can be custom set also ) and screenshots will be saved to the folder of your choice without any interruption to your game play.

    You can get it here:

    I heard somewhere that Command line codes like this one you posted are considered to be hax and there for you should remove it so it doesn't reference any hax in this game before a mod comes in here and closes this thread

    it just sounds like there should be an option to enable or disable print screens with UI or no UI

    :)



    "Captain! A Necro-class Thread just decloaked!"

    "Photon torpedoes, full spread! Phasers, fire!"

    "Direct hit, Captain!"

    "Mod, send a priority message to Starfleet. We have disabled a Necro. Advise them that this Necro was hidden for more than 30 days before it suddenly decloaked and we had to neutralize it."

    OOC: Please don't post in threads that have been "cloaked" for 30 days or more. Start a new one.
