Screen Shot

HOW TO TAKE A PHOTO IN CYBERTOWN

With a "Windows" operating system, when you press the "print screen" key, you take a clipboard picture of what you have on your screen at the moment.

If you do this while you are in Cybertown, you take the "shot" of whatever screen image you are looking at when you hit the "print screen" buttons on your computer. :-)
(This picture is stored in the same place on your computer as the "copy/Cut" function from the edit button on your menu bar)
Once you have captured the image, you need to "paste" it in a software used to make images such as Paint, Corel, Photoshop, etc.

1-Press "print screen" key on your keyboard.
    (Nothing changes on your screen but it's there, trust me :-))
2-Open the program you use to see images
    (Corel, Photoshop etc)
3-Open a "new" (or blank) page
    (Click on "new" or "blank" in file menu)
4-Right click this page and choose "paste".
    The shot you had in buffer (clipboard) should appear.

Notes:
Holding the "alt" key while you press "print screen" will take a shot of the active window only.
If you just press "print screen",
you'll have a shot of the whole screen

Keyboard short cuts:
Copy: ctrl+C ; Paste: ctrl+V

That part is easy and if you just need a screen shot for Security reasons, it will do.
The tough one is how to make a screen shot into a "photograph".

Tips to take the photograph

1) choose "see my avatar" if you want to be on the pic :-)
    Right click the screen and choose "view my avatar"
    or click the screen anywhere and press A.
2) You can direct the cam using the keyboard numbers from 1 to 0. (see below)
    (Use keypad with Blaxxun 5.1)
    Of course, you have to click on the screen, if not, the cursor will be in the chat line.
3) Now, the secret part: click the 3d screen, then press "ctrl + enter" You have a FULL SCREEN IMAGE !!!!
    (note: use F12 key if you run Blaxxun 4.4)
4) Click somewhere on the screen and use the numbers to move the camera.
5) When ready, press the "print screen" key
    Your pic is in the box !!!
6) Now open the window of your image program, open a "blank" page, right click it and "paste" it.
    What you paste is the image you had on your screen.
7) Just save the file on your hard disk, and eventually convert it into JPG file.

How to use the numbers to move the camera:

1 and 2: zoom out and in
3 and 4: "plongée et contre plongée" (in French ;-)
5 and 6: high and low
7 and 8: move right and left
9 and 0: rotations right and left (very useful)

USEFUL TIPS!!!
click on the screen, and use those useful keyboard letters:
- "C": collision on and off, so you can cross walls, climb stairs etc...
- "G": stay on the ground option: it will make you stay on the ground, or float in the air if you like...
- If you press "S" while you are walking, you will go up in the sky!
If the "stay on the ground" is off, you'll be able to float in the air! :-)
- "A" is for "see my avatar"
- If you hold "J" and click somewhere on the image,
you'll directly jump to that place.
