how can I take screen shots in the WC games? I know that you can with WCP and WCPSO but can't remember what buttons to press.

I would have just used the Poketank... :)

hell yeah. that things dangerous. heres the description

To deal with increased availability of illegal weapons among newbies and their supporters, as well as likely imminent hostilities against pokers by an unspecified, evil group whose name starts with F, I have designed this impervious poking tank. Unlike my poking sticks, it is designed to deal with not only newbies, but other non-newbie threats that might come to oppose us in support of the newbies.

Do not let its appearance fool you; the treads are only there to crush newbies, not because we have no better means of mobility. Its armor is made of a powerful neutronium/diamond/tritanium composite, reinforced by three layers of form-hugging(about 2mm from the armor) shields and structural integrity fields. Its poking blades are of a highly radioactive and poisonous, magical metal enchanted by my evil sorcery technicians. Any wound caused by them cannot be healed, and will cause a highly cancerous, painful, fatal infection.

As you can see, the tank has no main gun, but a very large, multi-phased poking stick. To increase its newbie-shredding capabilities, it is rotated at around 2000rpm by a highly powerful engine. The secondary pain assembly is composed of five coaxial poking devices, each rotating at up to 6000rpm.

The tank is also equipped with 10 missile canisters. The missiles have a range of up to 300km and travel at hypersonic velocities, with tips made of nearly indestructible materials. Upon piercing their target, they shatter into thousands of small, extremely sharp, and highly poisonous pieces. A replicator in the back of the tank ensures a continuous supply of ammo.

The tank is also protected by nuclear reactive armor (the little rectangles plastered all around it). These detonate directed nuclear warheads of around 1kt each, defeating enemy projectiles and foolish newbies that dare approach alike. The replicator replaces expended pieces.

The tank is (obviously) completely immune to the poisonous effects of its weapons, and the inside is in fact very comfortable, featuring a leather chair (with built-in toilet) for the pilot, as well as another replicator and even a TV (with satelite uplink capability). This basically gives it infinite endurance, since the power source is a singularity and the replicator/transporter system can easily repair any damage.

Finally, there is the most... entertaining feature of the tank, the radioactive poison cloud emitters!
There are eight emitters on the tank, two for each side. Any living thing in the cloud will immediately begin to melt, while being kept alive and conscious (until the brain is irreparably damaged, of course).

no offense guys, but I would appreciate an answer rather than pictures of "poke-tanks". It was pretty cool looking though... :)

what about WC Saga and WCIV? I have the win95 patch, will it work on them?

I know there are freeware utilities to take screen-captures of directX games. Maybe if KS uses DirectX, you could use them. Unfortunatly, if I know their existance, I don't know where to find them... You'll have to search :(
 
HyperSnap *does* work with KS -- you just have to configure it properly.

For the DOS games, the best option is PCXDump -- just search altavista for it.

Don't you have problems with reflection/resolution, or anything like that? Or even the relatively slow refresh rate of a PC monitor would show up badly on a photo shot, won't it?
 
On a real camera you could adjust the shutter speed to make it work... I bet there's a way to do it with a digital camera.

Some higher end digital cameras, (high end sony Mavicas) will have a shutter adjustment. The low end cameras usually dont have a shutter speed adjustment. The adjustments should be in the menu setups. Check the resolution setting as well, it wont do you a bit of good if you have a high shutter speed and low resolution!

Still, my point is that using a camera to take screenshots is almost as bad as using a microphone to take audio samples.
