D2X-W32: Screenshots working

Just found out that on (older) NVidia hardware (GF2 MX400, GF 5200) screenshots are properly taken. D'oh.

On my X800 XT PE with Catalyst 5.2 glReadPixels() doesn't work.

Heck. I was searching for bloody ages for a bug in my code.

ATI and OpenGL.

Currently the screenshot hotkey is Alt+F9.

Awesome job man. There is a slight problem. Screenshots can't be captured while in demo playback. Not even if you pause the demo to try and take a shot. This isn't right because you could take screenshots while watching a demo in D2.

Perhaps demo playback code has a seperate section where the screen capture was designated and you just need to add the changes into that?

I will look into this. Can't be much of a problem. I guess that the demo playback code simply doesn't react to Alt+F9, because if you can take screenies there in D2 classic, there must be code for intercepting a key and dumping the screen to a file.

Might just test it on my Radeon 7500...

Edit: No problems, screenshots work fine. Go figure.

Yes, the drivers are (relatively) recent... mid-February I think.
