Hi, I recently installed the latest versions of Descent 1 (with newly
released 3Dfx patch) and GLHexen II and I was wondering if I can take
screenshots of these to show to my friend.  :)  

In the Hexen II manual it says that it's F12, and in the Descent 1 help
file it says it's Print Screen.  Neither of these work me as I cannot find
the .bmp or .pcx file or whatever the format is in these games'
directories.  Is it possible to take screenshots of these?



(sorry for the crosspost, my news server doesn't have the other 2
newsgroups  :)

I just found out I can take screenshots with the "screenshot" console
command (in hexen2 that is) which saves it as a .tga file but it has the
console taking up half the screen.  :(

Thanks for the help ..... but I'm still unable to "bind F12 to
screenshot".  Where can I configure this option?  I don't see it on the
options screens in either Hexen 2 or Descent.  And when I press F12 or
PrintScreen it looks as if I did take the screnshot (ie. screen freezes
for a split second)  but no picture is saved in the directories.  What
format would they be saved as if it worked?



Thanks again,
Josephine
