How to take a Screen Shot in MW - the Secret Answer.

Discussion

A bit ago I asked about how to take a screenshot in MW. Several helpful ppl told me how. But no one mentioned the very first step. No Morrowind.ini adjustment, no screenshot.

To take a screenshot in Morrowind,
>>>the screenshot option must first be enabled in the Morrowind.ini. <<<

To do this, use the steps below.

  1. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Morrowind and open the Morrowind.ini file.
  2. Once the Morrowind.ini window appears, count down to line 34. It should read Screen Shot Enable=0. Change it to read Screen Shot Enable=1.
  3. Click File at the top, then Save, then close the Morrowind.ini window.
  4. At any time in Morrowind, you may now press the Print Screen key on the keyboard to take a screenshot.
  5. When the button is pressed, a message will appear on the screen indicating the screenshot name.

All screenshot are saved in the Morrowind folder as a 32-bit Windows Bitmap.
