Prt scr - save jpeg?

[go0b3r]

ok well i play a game called warrock alot, and i like to take screen shots, how can i make it so that when i press prt scr it'll auto save a .jpeg or .bmp etc.. file?

[Valuater]

i did one ... like this

HotKeySet("{F9}", "OnScreenShot")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

While 1
    Sleep(20)
WEnd


Func OnScreenShot()
    DirCreate ( @scriptdir & "\screenshots" ) 
    If Not FileExists(@scriptdir & "\captplugin.dll") Then FileInstall( "captplugin.dll", @scriptdir & "" ,1)
    $Cwin1 = WinGetHandle(""); gets the handle of the active window
    $Cwin2 = WinGetPos($Cwin1)
    $CaptureDirectory = @ScriptDir & "\Screenshots\"; where to store screen caps
    $CaptureFile = "Dump" & @YEAR & "-" & @MON & "-" & @MDAY & "_" & @HOUR & @MIN & "-" & @SEC & ".jpg"
    $hPlugin = PluginOpen(@scriptdir & "\captplugin.dll")
    $Ctest = CaptureRegion($CaptureDirectory & $CaptureFile, $Cwin2[0], $Cwin2[1], $Cwin2[2], $Cwin2[3],  85)
    If $Ctest = 0 then MsgBox(64,"Cature Error!", "The screen was not captured", 4)
    PluginClose($hPlugin)
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit
EndFunc

HotKeySet ("{PRINTSCREEN}", "gogoscreenshot")
HotKeySet ("{ESC}", "quitme")

While 1
    Sleep (10)
WEnd


Func gogoscreenshot()
; Capture full screen
; Fist parameter - filename, last - jpeg quality. 
    DllCall("D:\program files\autoit3\include\captdll.dll", "int", "CaptureScreen", "str", @MON & @MDAY & @YEAR & @HOUR & @MIN & @SEC & ".jpg", "int", 85)
EndFunc
Func quitme()

ok well i got them set up, but i cant find where the pics are saved :S

[cdkid]

should be in ur script director \ screenshots so...

if your script is in "c:\myscript\myscript.au3" then it'll be in "c:\myscript\screenshots" from what i can tell of that

~cdkid

[go0b3r]

i get this error:

Line 29 (file:c:\documents...........\new folder (2)\print screen.au3"):

$Ctest = CaptureRegion($CaptureDirectory & $CaptureFile, $Cwin2[0], $Cwin2[1], $Cwin2[2], $Cwin[3], 85)

$Ctest = ^ ERROR

Error: Unknown Fuction name

That happens when i press f9, this is for the first script given.

Try using mine, I know for certain that it works. Just change the location of captdll to your location.

[go0b3r]

ok tyvm, that works now. Also, how could i modify this so that instead of pressing print screen, it'd take a pic when i pressed the left mouse button?? Id like to get killshot pics without having to press print screen

Well you could use _IsPressed in the beta version... that would get the job done, although it's not the same as a hotkey (which would be ideal).

_IsPressed ('01') would do the trick.

Added to my code from above:

#include <misc.au3>
; HotKeySet ("{PRINTSCREEN}", "gogoscreenshot"); turned off hotkey
HotKeySet ("{ESC}", "quitme")

While 1
    If _IsPressed ('01') Then
        gogoscreenshot()
    EndIf
    Sleep (10)
WEnd


Func gogoscreenshot()
; Capture full screen
; Fist parameter - filename, last - jpeg quality.
    DllCall("D:\program files\autoit3\include\captdll.dll", "int", "CaptureScreen", "str", @MON & @MDAY & @YEAR & @HOUR & @MIN & @SEC & ".jpg", "int", 85)
EndFunc
Func quitme()
    Exit
EndFunc
