How to capture, and send screenshots in game, with ease!

[JuanitoG]

Hello ManaCube!

I bring to you'll a small guide on how to capture, and send screenshots in game with ease! Sending screenshots with helpops/reports can make it much easier for us (staff) to deal with the problem as quickly as possible.

I, along with many other players/staff members use a program called Lightshot for screen captures and uploading, its very useful, fast, and lightweight.

Spoiler: How to download LightShot!

To download Lightshot, simply use this link.

Here is a picture guided link.

Spoiler: Keybinds/Settings

Once you have downloaded Lightshot a little icon like so will appear. Right click and choose options, see here. The ones that I have arrowed in this picture are the boxes that you'll wanna keep ticked. Look here for keybinds. Now that you have set it up, time to test it out!

Note: You may customize the keybinds to whatever key you wish!

Spoiler: How to use LightShot!

Once you have set it up, you can start using it by clicking the PRT SCN key on your keyboard or clicking this option on the icon. Then simply right click where you want to start the screenshot and then left click where you want it to end.

For Example) See this picture and the text included.

Spoiler: How to paste the link

Once you have clicked the little cloud icon in your screenshot, simply wait a few seconds and a popup will show that the link has been copied to your clipboard. Simply do CRT + V in game and the link is posted!

Note: This will only work if you have this option checked.

See how easy that was! Now you can help out the staff team when reporting a player/bug/glitch etc. Or if you wanna send goofy pictures to your friends!

If you want to see a Mac version, please let me know, if you still cannot download the program, or are still having trouble, please PM me here or post below, and I will be glad to help you out!
