Darkshadow Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hi there, I\'m new to the forums, but have played KPS a fair bit (made it to the moon and back again! ) However I\'ve tried taking screenshot and the normal print screen just has a black screen. Searching the forum one topic mentioned F1 takes screenshot but that did not seem to work, the screenshot folder for KSP remained empty.On a similar note where are the .craft files saved?

Kryten Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Where have you put your KSP folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkshadow Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 C:\\Program Files\Games\KSPShould the screen shots and the craft files be within one of the sub directories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryten Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 There\'s your problem. KSP doesn\'t have permission to make new files in program files-your .craft\'s and screenshots will be in a temporary folders somewhere. It won\'t be able to put them in their proper places unless you move the folder somewhere else-the desktop works well.EDIT: And welcome to the forum!

Scruce Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 The \'My Documents\' location is a good one to place your Kerbal Space Program install.Also, welcome to the Kerbal Space Program Forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when you say move the folder you mean the entire directory including the .exeThe \'My Documents\' location is a good one to place your Kerbal Space Program install.Also, welcome to the Kerbal Space Program Forums!That\'s probably a better place than the desktop.Also Hello to both of you, I\'m surprised to have gotten such a quick response. I\'m planning on posting designs for stock craft and instructions on their use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryten Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 You can probably find where the ships ended up by doing a search for the .craft extension, and the screenshots should be in pretty much the same place.And yes, move the entire folder.

I haven\'t lost any craft designs, so unless I encounter any problems the set up should be fine. On the plus side that means I still have my mun landing screen shots! EDIT: Found them!

Goddess Bhavani Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 For screenshots either use fraps to save screenshots or even better, irfanview which is faster and free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
