OHM Screen capture

[OrbitHangar]

Author: vchamp

Provides an easy way of making screenshots in the wonderful sim Orbiter (Big Thanks to Dr. Martin Schweiger and to all addons authors!).

Screenshots can be saved in both JPG or BMP format. You can also define the quality of JPG images. It has an option to save only a selected region.

Source code is included.

Requires .NET Framework 2.0 or VC++ 2005 Redistributable Package.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

Update: Fixed the bug with long names of vessels.

Great addon! Makes taking multiple screenshots easy... at least on regular Orbiter 2010. In Orbiter_ng if your using the Directx 9 client, the screenshot only shows up as a black screen. Also it would be nice if the screenshot format could be set to .png

Screen Capture works as normal in the D3D9Client over here:

Dead useful! No longer do I have to hold back from hitting Print Screen at critical moments...

Where exactly is the screenshot directory?

 

[sorindafabico]

/Orbiter/(screenshots)

/Orbiter/(screenshots)

Where exactly?

probably on the hard drive

but seriously inside Orbiter's main folder there is another one called screenshots.

and more seriously:

Images are saved to the "(screenshots)" folder in Orbiter root directory.

Come on - this file has 6 sentences. Is it really that hard to read it??

So what happens if the main program don't have a screenshots directory?

So what happens if the main program don't have a screenshots directory?

It gets created by the module.


Orbitersdk/ScreenCapture/ScreenCapture.cpp:

		// check if screenshots directory exists
		if (_access("(screenshots)", 0) == -1) {
			CreateDirectory("(screenshots)", NULL);
		}

If you are getting black screen, try change options in "video" tab in Orbiter launchpad. I changed option "True full screen" to "Window with taskbar" and now it works. In D3D9.

One of the must-have addons, thanks!
