T:ANE Screenshot Save Location?

[BNSF_EMD]

T:ANE is confusing me with its screen-capturing.

I know that it's taking screenshots and that it is saving them somewhere, because when I go to the "Screenshot Review and Upload" screen under "Capture Screenshot" in the main menu bar in Surveyor, I can see them just fine. I cannot, however, find any indication of where these screenshots are being saved to.
Does this mean that all screenshots I take with T:ANE itself (not with another program) must be uploaded to the MyTrainz feed to be used in another capacity? It would seem not, and I hope not, but I can find nothing to suggest otherwise.

Thanks in advance!

I cant even find where they go when you "upload" them.

Appdata

You can find them in C:\Users\'name'\AppData\Local\N3V Games\TANE\screenshots

You can r/click the screenshot folder and have a short cut on the desktop as well if you wish.

Except screenshots taken in Surveyor won't show up there....

Sorry but that ain't true here .........
I can navigate C:\Users\'name' ........... but there ain't no file called "AppData" in there to have anything that follows in it.

I may be able to suggest an even quicker method of finding the folder.

Because the AppData folder is hidden by Windows, use %localappdata% instead in Windows/File Explorer (or even just look under Trainz Settings > Install and copy and paste the location shown).

Just tried that Shane, it says "no files match your search" ?

 

[shaneturner12]

It's not meant to treat it as a search term - not sure why it has.

Try entering it in the Run box instead.

That worked, but still no 'screenshots' file, I get this ................

Usually, if I want a screenshot, I just hit the 'Prt Scrn' button on my kb & paste it into 'Paint', then save it to my 'Pictures' folder.

 

[shaneturner12]

That's how it usually works, although for some reason Trainz saves it directly into the screenshot folder.

You will need to look under Trainz Settings > Install in the version that the screenshot has been saved from to find out which build folder it is.

But it can't if (like me) you ain't got a 'screenshots' folder.

Will go hunting

From memory, the screenshots folder gets created once a screenshot is taken. With T:ANE, I usually use the Take Screenshot option.

Trainz Settings > Install tells me 'build ijs2ao9p1', but I've checked every folder in there & still no screenshots.

I've just had a thought though, since I updated to this build, I haven't taken any screenshots, so would the folder only be created when I do, or
should it be there anyway ?


Scratch that, you beat me to it Shane.

Check all the build folders, shown in your posted image, for screenshot folders. These are the UserData folders of old or alternative installations.

Shane just told you, you need to take a screenshot for it to make a folder.
