Black Screenshots

I learn this method in this forum, maybe... I dont remember...
But i want to give a little howto to get black screenshots in game with NO HOOKS.

Sorry my poor english...

1) Get Glass2k.
Glass2k is a small little program that allows Windows 2000/XP users to make any window transparent. Right-click on any window or press the keyboard shortcuts (Control + Shift + [0-9]) to make any window transparent. It's that simple.





2) Open your favorite picture editor, in this case i used Windows Paint





3) Create a new image, and fill it in black.. Save it






4) Double click in your saved image to open Window Picture Viewer.






5) In Window Picture Viewer, click in Slide Show button





6) Dont forget pause slide show to avoid problems in show other images





7) Open your game in full screen





8) Now, go to your installed Glass2K and set transparency at 90% in your game window, in this case the Americas Army window.
To set transparency, in my Glass2k configuration, i press Ctrl + Shift + 9






9) Remember, with game window in transparent mode, when pb get a screenshot, the image under window is get.. Then, the black.bmp is need stay under game window all the time!




10) Enjoy
