Screenshots - how to change directory?

Fri May 06, 2005 6:25 am by Lord Emperor

Is there a way, and if yes then how, to change the default directory FL puts the screenshots into?
Default: C:\Documents And Settings\Account Name\Documents\My Pictures\FreelancerShots
I looked to the game settings, registry entries, and searched this forums, but nothing :-(

Hate to say it, I cannot find anything about this either.

Maybe someone knows...

I know you all will think i'm really stupid, but how DO you take screenshots in game?

simply press printscreen on your keyboard. Usually it just copies it to the clip board and you have to paste it into paint/psp/image package. Freelancer however saves the pictures off a .bmp in the folder specified above.

And to think that I've been alt-tabbing out to paint all this time lol.

I'd imagine that it's in one of the ini files, probably in EXE. Not sure tho, I've never really given it much thought.

Edit: Or not.... I took a quick look through the inis in EXE and none of them appear to reference anything other than the game data. My guess is it's either in one of the dlls or hardcoded.
