Stock Armada II ScreenCaps

posted on October 1st, 2009, 8:13 pm

One thing I've noticed as I've browsed through various mods and screenshots on Armada2FileFront:

There are numerous pictures of ships ingame, but they don't have the GUI present. In other words, they are "clean" screencaps that we can take here in FleetOps.

Anyone here know how to do this? Since I like to make maps I'd like to be able to start posting clean screenshots rather than shots with the GUI in the way.

Press Ctrl+Alt+P. This is also on the Fleet Operations FAQ
If you want to hide the UI you could also try Ctrl+I

I know Ctrl+Alt+P makes the screenshots, but they have the GUI in them. In FleetOps it doesn't.

Haven't tried the Crtl+I though, let me see if it works....


EDIT: Just tried it. Not exactl how I thought I'd get the shots, but hey, at least it works. Thanks for telling me how to take out the UI

Actually, it's explained in the tips that appear just before a game starts: Alt-P captures  the screen with the GUI, and Ctrl-Alt-P captures the screen without the GUI. If you combine Ctrl-Alt-P with hitting Caps Lock beforehand, you get those movie-like screen shots.
