Just wondering how do you take pictures in the game?

Any help would be great!
Print Scrn
You can find the pictures under "<insert path>\Lineage2\System"
Make sure to hit alt+h before you take a screeny, so you won't have all the UI stuff in the way. :)
I tryed that and it didnt work, where do you type it in? Please let me know
Type what in?
The pictures goes under "C:\My Games\Lineage2\System" or where ever you have installed Lineage2.
Think they are named "pic00001.bmp", "pic00002.bmp" and so on.

Press "Alt + H", hold Alt down and press H, to get the UI not to show, to get it back press "Alt + H" again.
There's this thing called the MANUAL. It's a wonderful device jam packed with useful information. Instead of being lazy and wasting people's time here, maybe you could try reading it? :eek:
Now now cmotd, play nice here please, not everyone is the computer wiz you seem to be....

to take the screen shot use the prtscn button whilst in game then go to

Start - my computer - local disc (or where ever you hard drive is) - program files - lineage2 - system

you should find the pictures somewhere in there.. hope that help's. Oh and sometimes i have to presss shift and prtscreen (not sure why but I do!!)
You can remove the names of the players aswell in the options.
Why do I find this funny?
Cause it is :D

It's okay though, at least people are helping each other out ne?
Yep. I see you're from Brampton, heh I'm in Scarborough!

now that is funny :p
The funcionality of PrintScreen depends on your graphics card, too. I have a developer workstation with a ATI FireGL X2 and is does not work. I only get some of the backgrounds because of heavy problems with the OpenGL Z-buffer rendering.

Hint: Download "Fraps" and use this one, it works and is for free :)
or u can just hit print screen den open paint and select paste from" from the top toolbar and u will c ur ss and then u can save it 2 where eva u want dats how i do it i think its more ez
Fraps is good i use it all the time but i like grabclip for just taking screen shots I think it work a little better it does not lagg out my computer as bad as fraps does
Ah excellent i have only recently started and wanted to know this aswell, couldnt find them in the L2 folder. Didnt think to look in System.

:) thanks.
For some reason it won't work when you're in windowed mode...
It makes a bad image.
Why is that funny? The guys is new to the game obviously.. Or mabey he's just new to taking screen shots... Everyone was new at one point, correct? :)

Hey man, let me check out some of the pictures that you take from seiges or just regular game play.. Mabey we can exchange some pictures somtime, eh? If you have AOL get me at mjonesguyana. Or if you play on BARTZ shout at Memphos.

Take it easy man. :cool:

Really? Hmm. As long as the window is selected and active, I have not had any problem so far. Of course, it does take the screenshot at the graphics setting specified in Options, so if you've resized the window by dragging sides or corners that would might affect it.

Just press the printscreen button, then go to paint and press ctrl+v and save it there :)

DUde
i love how sarcastic and condescending people are here.
its just great
I dunno about u, but for me its the Print screen button. Could be labeled PRTSCN or SYSRQ, GL
Just thought I'd add this, as it was a minor headache for me...

If you're using a Microsoft Multimedia keyboard, you may have to disable the function lock (F-lock key, the one with the letter F inside a solid box) before the PrintScreen key will work. For some reason they decided to merge the Insert and PrntScreen keys into one...

Actually after reading your post I tried that out and it worked thank you very much I wasn't sure how to take pictures either but your instructions worked perfectly :)
How can i run the game in 1600X higher resolution on my 17" lcd monitor? Once it worked, i don t know how, but i could put the rez on 1600X1200 and even 1920X1024 in windowed mode of course.

I want to do this because i would like to take some high rez screnshots to be later edited.

Please help.

So, what iw anan do is trick my monitor to allow the game to run in higher resolution.

From the nvidia control panel i managed, from the monitor tab, to unhide modes that are not supported by the monitor, still i cant apply them in game.

Please help me, thanks.
PS: i have an fx6200, altho the graph card don t matter it supports up to 2048, the monitor doesen t support higher rez then 1280x1024.
ya i cant find how to view my screen shots and i tryed looking under c: but i didnt have a file named my games so i continued to look around and found the program file for lineage but dont know where to go from there
Lineage2\system
Well foruns basically exist for we ask questions (of any type) about an subject and people try to help us.
Be nice :)
If that PrtScrn button of yours still doesn't work, perhaps there is a button with "F lock" on it on your keyboard too. If you turn that off, then press PrtScrn, it should work. If not, you need a new keyboard ;)
Is there a way to hide the Clan icon on my character when I take a screenshot? Its the only thing from the UI that shows when using the ALT+H shortcut.
No. :/

Yeah, that would be nice.
Best way of getting a screenshot without tag or names would be to make a short replay and take the screenshot when viewing it. One thing though, I dont think they will save to your system folder, so paste it into painshop or whatever image editting program you have.
My screenshots aren't saving to the system folder, but to a "Lineage II" folder on my desktop, which is non-existent. I've tried making the folder, hoping it would right itself, but with no luck.
Is there any way to fix this or change where the screens save to?
