(General) Taking Screenshots

[teozamait]

Long story short, I'm close to releasing my campaign, all I need is to take a few screenshots.

Problems is, I can't do it using the method described in this tutorial: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums...w-add-screenshot-your-map-description-241054/

Hitting the print-screen key (even if combined with Ctrl or Alt) while I am inside the Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne game will save a screenshot but not of the game!

The screenshot will be of my desktop or anything else I have opened at the time. Basically it is as if the screenshot system does not recognize me being in the Warcraft 3 game.

I found the directory where Warcraft stores the screenshots separately, but they are in tga. format and I really don't want to download a converter for JPG. or PNG. (my computer is too loaded as it is).

I am using Windows 8 and I guess it might have something to do with this issue.

Anyone have any clues?

EDIT: Just noticed this is in a whole wrong section. Could someone move it to the right section? Sorry about this, thought I was posting in the World Editor Help zone.

I tend to use the Snipping Tool instead of Print Screen for a lot of things (Mainly because I use Windowed Mode Warcraft). I'm pretty sure the Snipping Tool comes with Windows 8.1.

I suggest that you could use an online image converter and it won't require you any other stuffs.

It can convert any image format.

The Snipping Tool is what I needed, I can take the screenshots from the editor without the UI popping out. Thanks!
