Screenshots
« on: January 31, 2013, 10:02:25 PM »
There have been a couple times that I've accidentally gone into screenshot mode and been unable to get out for a while. How do I get into screenshot mode, how do I take the picture, and how do I get out again?

Sorry I ask so many questions, I'm a super newbie at this...

If I am interpreting your post correctly, you have gotten stuck in the "tab" mode. This happens when you press the tab key. The game pauses and you can zoom in, out and around one particular area. Pressing the esc key should get you out of screenshot mode. You hit 'c' to take the picture (C for capture). This will also take you out of screenshot mode.

I don't think there is anything you can do called screenshot mode.  You can take screenshots no matter what's going on with your game by hitting the "C" button like Jaymi said. Also - hitting tab will not pause the game.  You still have to pause it yourself by hitting the "P" button while in tabbed mode.  Tabbed mode just allows you to get closer to objects without the UI being in the way but you can take normal screenshots with the UI and it won't show as long as you use C and not print screen.

Or do you mean when you go to take a picture with the camera?  That's Shift + C.
