2 questions in 1 thread!

 

1st: I have trouble taking screenshots in rebellion. I press the proper keys (in my case, Fn + print screen) and when I paste-it in whatever (GIMP, photofiltre, photoshop...), the picture has kind of lost its colors and does not display properly at all. Any idea on what I may be doing wrong?

 

That being said, I'll specify right away that I'm using Windows 7, it's on a laptop (hence the Fn button) and I'm not using any virtual PC or XP mode.

 

2nd: Windowed mode. The 1st problem makes me believe that if I could run the game in a window, I'd be able to take screenshots. Any idea on how I may proceed to force the game to open in a window instead of full screen?

I remember reading exactly that somewhere in the forums ages ago: screenshots must come from a "windowed" game.

1) create a shortcut on your desktop to run Rebellion (if you haven't already done this).

2) add the following (without the quotes) "-w" at the end of the execution line for starting the program. The "dash W" forces the game to run in "windowed" mode.

 

Good Luck!

Hum, I can't seems to do what you ask. I may not have the same options as you. I'm not sure where I should add the dashw "-w".

Ah Tex! Thank you, it worked! However, now there is the matter of re-sizing the window. (Damned microsoft lol...)

You're welcome. Although, I believe you'll find trying to do anything (sizing, locations, etc) with the windowed-mode will be .... frustrating Good luck with that.
