you better use FRAPS to do it...
maybe the graphics after WickedGL is unable to change in BitMap mode

In the 3dfx tools you can set a key for taking screenshots under Glide/OpenGL.
I did this with Star Wars:Kotor on my V4 and it worked well...

It's better to use the driver-built-in Screenshot function, if u plan to make 16/22bit Screenshot. Capturing Screens with HypersnapDX leads to Colorbanding if you hav activated AA. Colorbanding @ 2xAA ist hardly noticeable (but it exists), but @ 4xAA you have a great colorloss.

So the only possibility to get nice AA Screenshot, is to take it from a glide game by the 3dfx driver. Alas you have Pixeldithering @ noAA/2xAA and 16bit modes:

-----------------------------------

Code Select


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\3dfxvs\Device0\Glide]
"Localisation"="OpenGL/Glide"
"FX_GLIDE_SCREENSHOT_KEY"="106"

-----------------------------------
"FX_GLIDE_SCREENSHOT_KEY"="106" = "Key-Pad *"

other keycodes:

"Num-Lock" = "144", "Key-Pad /" = "111", "Key-Pad -" = "109", "F12" = "123"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\3dfxvs\Device0\Glide]
"Localisation"="OpenGL/Glide"
"FX_GLIDE_SCREENSHOT_KEY"="106"

Put the text above in a new File, call it "ScreenshotXP.reg" an doubleclick it. Than you have to restart your system n than your are able to take Screenshots with "Numkey *". (works only under glide/openGL and Windwos XP. For Win98 the registrycode is a little bit different)
