Extend screenshot ability to *any* screen in DoomRL
« on: February 08, 2011, 11:42 »

This should be straightforward.  Can we extend the screenshot capturing abilities (F9 and F10 keys by default) to work with all other screens in DoomRL?  This can be useful in showing the epicness of one's inventory, for example, or to show off some statistics of DoomGuy from the '@' screen.

For screenshots that are not part of a game, maybe we can just label them by date and time, skipping out the name component.

Yeah. It's not clear to me why it never was like that in the first place.
If "Screenshot created" messages are the problem, actually I don't think anyone gives a fsck about those messages. :P
Just make the game listen to f9 and f10 at all time and make it generate files based on what's currently displayed on the screen; that's it. Kinda like PrtScr only it generates txt files.
