wolfbane 0 Posted December 13, 2003 Maybe this has been suggested before (please feel free to kick me in the rear if so.. ) but I´ve searched the forum and I didn´t find any info on this so here goes.. I was playing around with vektorbosons spysattelite script(s) today and came up with an idea. What I was thinking of was a future to capture a screenshot with the use of a function from a script. If the screenshot could be saved in your mission folder as a .paa file I think it could be loaded back into the game again from a script and you would be able to view it. Let´s say you have a camera attached to an aircraft by a script with the screenshot function in it (toggled by a radio command or action menu or whatnot) then you could take recon photos of the enemy positions with that camera. The photos taken could then be viewed by a commander at a command post for example by triggering another script that opens up a console with the recon photos.. But that´s just one example I think there could be tons of other uses for such a future. What do you think? Something for the next patch maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfbane 0 Posted December 14, 2003 I´m glad you guys like the idea. Now we just need to cross our fingers and hope that BIS sees this and implement the function in a new patch.. I think we could see some cool stuff from scripters and addon makers with this future in the game.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted December 14, 2003 New patches (if there are any) will only fix major bugs, they're far too busy working on Opf-Box and Opf2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfbane 0 Posted December 14, 2003 New patches (if there are any) will only fix major bugs, they're far too busy working on Opf-Box and Opf2. Yeah i know, i don´t really think they have the time for such things either. But maybe there´s a chance that we will see a final 1.94 patch and maybe (fingers crossed and yadda yadda..) they will have time to put something new in. But i guess that chance is so small (like Saddam Hussein is in my closet right now small..) so it´s not worth to bother about it.. But still.. there´s this tiny little chance.. argh.. nevermind..
