 PC-focused content ahead.The following article or section describes content from the perspective of the PC version of the game. While the mechanics will be similar for players on Xbox and PS4, many elements of the UI will be different. Please consider updating this article to include content from the console versions of Star Trek Online. |
You can take a screen shot in-game by hitting the PrtScn ("Print Screen") button on your keyboard. A compressed JPEG image file will be created. If you press Alt + PrtScn an uncompressed TARGA (.TGA) image file will be created. In either event, the screen shot images are stored in the {Local path to program}\Cryptic Studios\Star Trek Online\Live\screenshots\ directory. The image saved does not include the User Interface, however.
To take a screen shot with the User Interface, use the command /screenshot_ui (for TGA) or /screenshot_ui_jpg (for JPG) in the chat box. You may also bind a key to this — /bind P screenshot_ui, for example, will bind the P key to the /screenshot_ui command.
The option /renderscale # will scale to some multiple # of your monitor's screen resolution (/renderscale 1 is default). Thus, /renderscale 2 will be an image 4 times as larger as it doubles the width and height. Running renderscales much higher than 2 or 3 can result in crashing the game. Resizing these later to your screen resolution can provide a type of antialiasing.
