Long drive contest

Postby rwoodworkr on Sat Feb 02, 2019 11:48 am

I was looking over some of my stats a while back and saw this. It must have been that drive I hit from the top of Everest. Any one else have a longer one?

It might not have been. I don't remember it - it was just in my stats. You don't think the stats would make a mistake, do you? :o :lol:

How do you guys take a screen shot while you're in Links? I haven't figured it out yet. :)

in-game, when i wanna take a screen shot, i hit the Print Screen key on the keyboard. Then I minimise the Links full-screen window to small screen by pressing ALT-ENTER keys. That gives me access to my desktop - without having to exit Links completely. THEN i choose Paint, click on 'paste'......saving that file to my Desktop.

then having done that, click on the top of Links small window to make that window "Active" then double-mouse-click the top "Active Bar"........takes you back to the golf, full-screen !

it all sounds long and complex, but its not.

or a quicker way is to hit the Print Screen key on the keyboard when you come to a screen shot you want to save in-game, and wait till your round ends, THEN bring up Paint and choose 'paste'. Save.....

:)

EDIT THAT: I remember years ago, you could hit the F10 key (F10 ? not sure....) and the screen shot would be saved automatically in one of the Links2K3 Folders.

If memory serves:

F10 will take a screenshot and save it in the main installation folder for Links 2003 as a JPG image.
F12 will take a screenshot and save it in the main installation folder for Links 2003 as a BMP image.

Thanks guys for the help.

The F10 and F12 didn't appear to do anything but Rob's procedure worked just fine.

Also you were right Rob. Your instructions sounded difficult but it wasn't. It was very easy to do. :)
