How do you take screenshots and post them on this site?
take a pic by pressing "p" Then you can either attach them to your post or upload to www.imgur.com then give us the link.
2 steps
1 Get the screenshot
I believe the default key for taking in-game screenshots is "P"
It will save them in the "whereveryouinstalled\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\ScreenShots" folder
It saves as a tga, so you may need to convert it to jpg or png with any image editor (Just open it then "save-as" in most programs)
2 Post it
Quick and dirty, there is a link below the post box that says "Attachments and other options"
Clicking "Browse" next to attach will put it at the bottom of your post.
There is also an "Insert Image" button in the post controls.
To use this, you must upload your image to another site and include the url to the image in the code template it sets up.

So far I have have only got past pushing ''p''. Can't find the folder. Is there a default name to it? Would it be in my normal photo file?
When you are in GameData look for a button that has Compatibility Files on it. Press it you should find your Screenshots folder there.
Would game data be like add\remove file thing?
What i have found is that i cant see my screenshots without going into 7zip and going to screenshots that'a way the folder is empty if i go the regular way and i cant paste the screenshots i press copy and it doesnt want to paste it. so this is a problem for me as well....
hmmm.....
The default place for me was :
"C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\ScreenShots"
Thats for WinXP. I don't know if vista or 7 changed the \Program Files\ part , but it should be simular.
Windows 7 and Vista like to chuck them into Compatibility Files for some odd reason.
Would it be better if someone said something like, push button A witch leads you to button D then push button C...
And I have a Windows XP
Go into tools, options, xfire in-game and look for take screenshot click on it and delete the 2 numbers that are there and use any letter or letter combination. Click ok then go in-game and use the exact letter/letter combo you have entered. That's how to take a screenshot, the edited and easy way.
I don't have xfire. Anyway around xfire?
I would recommend X-fire it's very easy to use and shouldn't have much affect on your PC but if not then the longer way to do screenshots is like this;

Follow those instructions but the detailed way to find your screenshots is by clicking or double clicking on the following; Start>My computer or just Computer>Local disk>Program files or Program files (86x)>Lucasarts>Starwars battlefront>Gamedata>screenshots. If you've installed mod maps before its near where you put them.
A quicker way if you have a shortcut on your desktop is to right click it select 'open file location' then double click gamedata then screenshots.
I got it! :moo: :moo: :moo: :moo: :moo: :moo: :moo:

To post an image here you should either:
.Add it as an attachment
.Upload it to an image hosting site such as http://imgur.com/ (this being often being the preferred method)
imgur also gives you the link between the [img] tags for you.
This means you can just copy and paste that text into a reply and the image will appear in your post. If that image is too large you can just put it between spoiler tags.
I tried somethin but, it didn't work, I draged the folder between the thingys [img] [img] but it did some type of code but with words like battlefront screenshots and such. Whats that? I want to post them with a spoiler, how am I supposed to do that? ???
[spoiler][file:///C:/Program%20Files/LucasArts/Star%20Wars%20Battlefront/GameData/ScreenShots/screenshot_0115.tga/spoiler]file:///C:/Program%20Files/LucasArts/Star%20Wars%20Battlefront/GameData/ScreenShots/screenshot_0115.tga
I never had the need to do this but I figured I would look for the screenshot folder and could not find it.
I got the game with BF2 and RC (Fan Favorites) which also do not have the ss folder.
Could I just create a new folder named "ScreenShots" in the gamedata folder?
This is what I did with my addon folder for BF2.
I think the first time you press "p" in game is when the screen shot folder will appear with the screen shot in it.
