Full Version: Aleph One on Windows 7 - where are the screenshots?

Installed Aleph One on my Win7 (Intel i7, 12GB, 64bit, GeForce GTX 570) with Marathon Infinity.

It runs just great, but I'm trying to take screenshots, and failing. Either it's not working (using F9 as research suggests), or I can't locate the directory the graphics are ending up in.

There has been no folder called 'AlephOne' created at Libraries > Documents > My Documents, as some of what I've read has suggested.

Wrong function key? Wrong directory? Wrong OS?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

If you are using the stable build of Aleph One, they will be in your Marathon Infinity folder, in Prefs/username/Screenshots

It is only if using the beta builds of Aleph One that they will show up in My Documents.

I'm using AlephOne20110731, which is the download from the main AO page. I can't find a Prefs folder in either the Infinity or the main app folder. (large shrug)

Can you post some screenshots (heh) showing how you have Aleph One installed?
jzeroReturns
LOL, yep.

These are shots of

C:\Program Files (x86)\AlephOne-20110731\


and C:\Program Files (x86)\AlephOne-20110731\Marathon Infinity\

Thank you, RyokoTK, but please read my initial post. I don't have that 'Documents/AlephOne' folder, it has not been automatically created. Treellama asked me to post shots of my install, which I did.

Since you don't have write permissions in Program Files, Windows 7 is probably silently redirecting any writes to Users\[userID]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\ instead. Try looking in /Users/username/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program Files (x86)/AlephOne-20110731/Marathon Infinity/Prefs/username/Screenshots

Aleph One 1.0 will behave much better if you install it to Program Files--it doesn't attempt to write anything to the scenario directory. Until it's released, I recommend installing 0.23.3 to a location you're actually allowed to write to!
