Guide to taking, saving and uploading screenshots..

You will have 10 minutes to submit the screen shot after the game finishes. Ensure that your screenshot includes shroud.

Do not edit or crop your screenshot in any way as they will not be accepted. Screenshot tampering will result in full cheat bans.

You must create your own topic, posting your SS in anothers topic or wrong forum may result in yours going unseen by admin


Forum banned members can email ss@xwis.net. Do not rely on other forum members wanting to upload your SS for you. Do not use duplicate accounts to upload your SS as these will be deleted and your account banned

Example topic titles or Email Subject lines.

SS for Admin - playername
or
SS for XWIS - yourname


Not everyone's MS Paint allows the ra2 *.pcx files to be opened so i recommend that you download and install irfanview however most image applications will have the same method to save as i will show below.

Take screenshot using CTRL+C in red alert 2 or Tiberian Sun and SHIFT+S in Yuri's Revenge.

After the game these can be found in your Red Alert 2 Folder.
e.g. C:\Westwood\RA2 (for RA2 and YR)
C:\Westwood\SUN (for TS)
