screenshot command

[matjojo]

I needed to take some screenshots of the game for a friend, so I went to the wiki took a look at the screenshot command and came up with this:

Code: Select all

game.take_screenshot{resolution = {1920, 1080}, zoom = 1, showgui = false,  showentityinfo = true, path = SSone.png}

but, whatever I did with the showgui and the showentityinfo keyword, nothing changed based on them. The screenshots always stayed on the default false value for both.

anyone suggestions?

Looks like they've been renamed to show_gui and show_entitiy_info but the docs weren't updated. You also need to put the file name in quotes, like this:

Code: Select all

game.take_screenshot{resolution = {1920, 1080}, zoom = 1, show_entity_info = true, path = "SSone.png"}

Maybe you should search after 'Factorio Maps'. This is a Mod, where you can generate a *google maps* html-file to show your complete factory.

Or you make screenshots with the 'Print'-Key or with Programms like floomby, wich makes screenshots and load it up to the web automaticly.

I simply added factorio as a external game to steam. This way the steam-overlay works, as well as steams screenshot-function (including the ability to upload them to steam as well).
