LEGO Racers 2 Take Screenshots From Within Lr2!

[le717]

I've already looked around the Racers sections, and I could not find this anywhere.

I found this buried in the Racers 2 ReadMe.txt, located on the root of the disc:

LEGO Racers 2 will allow you to take snapshot of on-screen action

as you play...!

To do this you can hit F10 at anytime during play, which will

grab the screen and save it to your hard drive in .BMP format.

You will find ALL of you screenshots in the following directories

For Windows 9X users:

C:My DocumentsGamesLEGO Racers 2Photos

For Windows 2000 / XP users:

Double clicking on the image file will allow you to view the

photo using your default paint editor.

To print the photo, please make sure that your printer is

installed correctly and is on-line, ready to print. You should

then select PRINT from the FILE... Menu [Default].

CONCERNING YOUR PRINTER ---

So basically, it's the same thing as the Racers screenshot function, but you press F10 instead of Print Screen, and it saves in your documents (the same place as the game saves), instead of the Program Files.

To show this feature off, I've taken a few screenshots of my own.

(I'm on that laptop that will not run LR 1999 for whatever reason, and the game was already laggy at 1024x768, so I didn't bother to turn up the resolution).

I'm flying!

I'm the fastest walking minifig ever! (That's a 7, not a 1 up there. )

These are the worst looking studs for a LEGO game ever. I mean, just look at the legs! *cough*Roblox*cough*

Huh, it's just like LI2. Same key and everything.

Didn't know that. I don't own any Island game (although I want to so badly!), so I had no idea LI2 had the feature. So I just compared it to LR.

*facepalm*

Yep. LI2 outright tells you this though. It installs a shortcut to your desktop and start menu for it, which leads to a folder telling you how to do it via a Notepad file. You can even hold F10 down, and it will look like a stop-motion movie!
