Title: How do you take pictures while in a room?
Post by: TylerMurdock on July 02, 2013, 11:26:58 PM
I see a lot of profiles that have pictures from in a room. How do you go about getting a picture while in room?

well, it's a bit boring operation cause AChat don't support screen capture directly, but here we go....

1 - while in room, turn the camera till you find the right view you want, then press the "Print" button on your keyboard (or "stamp", depend where you live!). usually it's placed near the "F12" button.

2 - open an image editor program, like Photoshop (paint of windows is good too) and paste the image there. now, you can adjust the pic if necessary, then save it on you HD

3 - login in the AChat main page and, in the right corner of the screen under "Buy A$" you will find "Character picture upload": hit it and follow the instruction who appear. Be sure you have 99 A$, cause they are needed to upload personal pics.

If you need more explanation, feel free to ask!

The snipping tool that comes with Win 7 and 8 works just fine.

If you want to shoot video, get Bandicam.

To take photos:
You als can use Bandicam for taking pics and the free version is ok.


To have an own profile pic:
You need 99A$, but it has to be real money subscription. You can't usee A$ which you have got as gift!

Is there any short key to get rid of the hud?

Screenshot or software (bandicam) might work for you - depending on your system (Mac IOs, win vista, win7...)

If by HUD you mean everything apart from the room content, unless the Dev team haven't told us something, no.

There are many, many, ways of "photographing" rooms but the question related to removing the HUD.

All your images show some component of it.
Title: Re: How do you take pictures while in a room?
Post by: bluedenim on August 18, 2014, 02:19:40 PM
I know Susan, That's what I said.
It is possible to crop the image in Paint to whatever you want.
I chose not to with these because I was not trying to hide who I was with and I wanted whole bodies as far as possible, but I (one) could crop the HUD right out.

Post by: FoxyRoxxy on September 08, 2014, 12:22:43 PM
I find it a hassle
to use so many programs to crop  then upload it to other programs
then bring it here ..... Where a simple crop tool would be so useful here
maybe its time the start looking at a new why to taking photos in here achat
and getting a crop tool .....

A solution could be, they give us a "take pic mode". A button, which blinds out everything but the HUD and takes a pic.

I think this would be great and make it easy  for every one  I hope they can  give us this  ASP

And an easy upload of the pic to Forum and profile pics in the game.

Post by: hentaiboy69 on October 02, 2014, 03:27:30 AM
I agree with Lover about a "snapshot button" in the game, important think is they must be automatically saved in a dedicate folder.

And about an easy way to upload game pictures here.......i wonder if Dev-Team is pondering about a way to load them here directly by ours HD

Please ask your partner(s) if it's ok to screenshot the room before doing so. Yes your subjects are only avatars but I still believe there should be some Etiquette used.

Hello , maybe this can be useful ..I use the PrintKey2000 programm to take pics in room..It s very easy to handle and it s perfect to select small parts or define exacty what you need.
You just need to download it...it runs in stand alone...define a hotkey ( i choose f9 ) and then select what you want to get saved :)
It saves it directly on your computer..don t need to upload  it in paint or gimp..etc..
Here is a link to download it from a german platform which i trust..( the app is in english ) but i m sure you can find it searching in google even on other platforms :)
http://www.chip.de/downloads/PrintKey-2000_42776002.html
unfortunatly i can t upload a picture to show..it says the upload folder is full :)
Have fun

kerryane, it may be that you have the game on full screen, I have noticed that I can't when I'm on full screen, so maybe if you try it in a window and see? xx

I find the most hassle free way to take pics in the game is

BANDICAM

http://www.bandicam.com/

download the free version and you can record up to 10 minutes of video or as many pics  as you like. but be warned these can be big files so if hard drive space is limited.  keep an eye on that  :)

Instruction for bandicam:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTY65HVfB6o



Brandy made a great how to for pics:
How to take a pic of your Screen or Avatar to post or PM or upload to your profile.

1. Open an account with photobucket.  Its free and ideal for this purpose. -  photobucket.com. I’d advise to use your forum username and remember an easy password. You will need to provide an email too.  Use you game email.

2.  Make a new folder in your “Pictures” on your PC.  To do this, find or search for your “ Pictures”  Open it up and in a vacant space, right click to bring up a menu.  Click on “New”  “Folder” and name it “Forum Edited Pics” or something you can easily remember.  Then close that down.

3.  Most pc’s have windows paint  but you can also download for  free  “Bandicam”  and / or  “Gimp” which is more advanced. 

4  For ease, we are using Paint here. If you have Windows 8 -  On the App screen (which is the one with the tiles), near the bottom of the screen there should be an arrow in a circle.  Click that.  That should change your screen to the Apps by name screen.

5. In the top right corner there is a search box.  (Its in the top right corner on mine).  In that box type  PAINT.  This should bring up the Windows Paint programme on your PC. (The icon is shown as a paint pallet and paint brush )

6. Click on that and it should open your Paint program.

Let’s have a quick lesson.   

7. Minimize Paint, but leave it running.  Then open AChat.  You don't have to log in, just let it load or you can log in and room.   Once AChat is loaded:

8.  Take a screenshot -  if in a room, turn the camera till you find the right view you want, then press the "Print" button on your keyboard (or "stamp", depend where you live!). Usually it's placed near the "F12" button.  It also can have “prt sc” on it
Take a screen shot of the AChat page.

9. Bring your paint programme back up by clicking on the paint icon at the bottom of the page. Try pasting that into Paint.  (I use CTRL + V keys to paste)

10. At the top of the Paint page you should see Crop.

(http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t550/AusWoody/cropbutton_zpsbb00b92e.png)

Click on that to crop the image so it includes only what you want.  Drag the window for the selection you want and click on Crop again.  If you mess up, there is an undo arrow at the top of the screen.  This takes some practice, but don’t give up.  Use the square or rectangle and start at the left top edge, drag it around. You will find your own best practice and as you get better, you can practice with the other crop shapes if you want.

11. Click on the cropped pic, it gets rid of the part of the pic you don’t want.

12.  Then use SAVE AS in File on the top bar,  to save it.  But save it in JPEG (JPEG uses less kb's than the default PNG).  Just remember where you saved it to.  I would probably save it to Forum Edited Pics folder, you made earlier.

13 – If you want to upload a pic to Achat Game -  login in the AChat main web page and, in the right corner of the screen under "Buy A$" you will find "Character picture upload": hit it and follow the instructions that appear. Be sure you have 99 A$, cause it costs to upload personal pics.  You don’t need to use Photobucket for this process.  It just needs to be saved to your PC.

14.  Go to Photobucket.  Click on  "Upload"   and then  " Choose photo or video"  Follow the instructions for it to upload. 

15. Once done, on the right   click on  "Direct " from the list,  to copy the URL for your pic.

16. Open up Forum and the topic or PM ( Message ) you wish to answer or send.  Paste ( Control / Ctrl  + V  ) it in your  Forum   " Message "  or  " Reply"  box.   The URL will appear. 

17. Then high light it  (Holding left button down on your mouse and dragging across )

18. Above the smiley faces above  is a square box  " insert image"  ( 2nd one from the left),

19 . Click on that, it will bracket the url for you

20. Then preview, using the below button on the right under the text box. The pic should come up above this section.  Check it looks right and not too big.  If it’s not, try again
If its too big,  try this –
It can happen that a pic can be too big and it doesn't fix on the post size (not sure if max width is 750 or 800, but 750 fits good). So, it can help to resize it without modifing it offline.

To Resize a pic thats too big :-

[img]URL of the pic[img]

Use this simple code:

[img width=200] URL of the pic[img] where 200 is the size you want to set.

I recommend for rooms, a good size is 650 or more.
For dresses, lower it around 400.

I have been told 600 is a good size for Forum.   [img width=600] URL of the pic[img]

21.  If you are happy with the preview, then send / post. Practice. You just learnt a new skill   


Special Thanks To AusWoody, Lover, Covems & hentaiboy69 who's patience and guidence ensured, even I could do this now and asisted in this post.
