Introduction

Ever wanted to take screenies or snapshots ingame? While there are other methods of doing that, this one is by far the easiest. With a simple button press or script call, it'll take a screenshot of the game for you and save it in a folder.
Also useful for beta testing. Your testers can snapshot bugs or errors in mapping or stuff like that.

• Take picture with button press or script call
  
• Customizable Button to press

Here's how well the pictures come out. No windows borders or anything.

Author's Notes

Enjoy!

Bump. Any comments?

I think it's pretty useful game_guy. I'm a little biased though since I made one for VX :P It is easier to do in VX though. Good work.

Thanks :)
