      Can anyone give me details as to how Snapzpro is able to work to take shots/make movs of things while EVO is running? I thought EVO was anti-social and didn't play well with others, yet Snapzpro seems to work fine.

      Any insights?

      While that is a true statement, that doesn't mean they do magic. I'm looking for an explanation of method.

      or maybe Elves. Elves would work, too.

    • Nobody really knows, and I doubt ambrosia will tell us. I think it might add some sort of hook in the system, or EV might have a couple of things in to allow it to work, ambrosia's tools would probably allow such things...

      lol. That's a special c function, right? The fae class of functions.

    • I was under the impression that they didn't work well together... look here: (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum2/HTML/000662.html")http://www.AmbrosiaS...TML/000662.html(/url)

      Or at least, you can't invoke Snapz while EVO is running.

      And btw, I know I've seen a page somewhere on how Snapz works - and I specifically remember chuckling at seeing "magic" included. You guys are partly right. 😉

    • Open up the EV Override application with ResEdit, delete the 'cfrg' resource, save your changes.

      Snapz Pro will now be able to invoke inside of EVO, and you can take screenshots and movies.

    • I'll try that to see if it works.

      BTW, nice post count 😉

      If you're less ResEdity, you can also just start up Snapz while you're in a dialog box (player info, planet landing, etc) and it'll capture just fine. I, however, am off to delete that resc now...

      Thank you for the FYI. I've added this tip to the "undocumented craftiness" thread.

      I can only get it to work if I click the "Map" key.
