Some people were asking me how to make screenshots. Ok, so this is the longer version of this guide how to make screenshots.
  • Start Generals and then go to the Menu "Load".
  • Go to "Load Replays".
  • Select a Replay and load it.
  • Press F12 during the game.


  • The game will now give you a small message that it saved a screenshot.


  • Open your folder "C:\My Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Data\". You can find your saved screenshot there.


  • Open the screenshot with Paint and go to Edit -> Save as -> select "JPEG", for instance "sshot1.jpeg".


  • You can now upload the screenshot at gamereplays, just make a new post, scroll a bit down and you will be able to see "File Attachments" - that's where you can upload the screenshots. Gamereplays doesn't allow you to upload BMP Files.
  • JPEGs advantage over BMP Files: They are much smaller. JPEGs are 100 - 200kb, BMPs are 1000 - 2000kb. Don't attach too many screenshots and save webspace for Gamereplays wink.gif

Good guide but surely this should be pinned in the general discussion forum.

tbh this and the guide how to catch cheaters with photoshop should be moved to MH-Acussations.

don´t see why this belongs to discussions, as it´s mainly needed for accusations and here the ppl won´t see it when accusing someone....(i have to search for this everytime, cause the discussion forum is the last thing i think off to search....)
