Browolf Posted January 30, 2016 Report Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) Suggestion Name: Able to take a screenshot while drivingSuggestion Description: If something happens and you need screenshots to prove it, you won't be able to do soAny example images: Nope. I couldn't do it Why should it be added?: Not everyone is able to record; simple method to prove the reported misbehavior, for a better and less frustrating gameplay experience, since more ppl will be able to report, hoping for a future without rammers! Background story: I am really p***ed right now! How am I supposed to take screenshot of someone driving on the wrong side of the highway who is trying to crash into me? OH WAIT! I have to stop my truck on the middle of the highway AAAAND then I can take a screenshot! Oh great! How stupid can I be.. Why didnt I thought this to myself at the first time? No serious.. I cannot believe this.. this is EA level stuff! A single report without screenshot is not possible to pass, it lacks of proof.. And I can totally understand that.. BUT! If you are unable to take multiple screenshots of a maniac trying to ram into you, well I am the one who loses in this situation anyway and that kid has successfully ruined my experience of the game and goes off without getting punished for that kind of behavior. And I already reported someone who rammed me and my friend, guess what happened. " ohh the screenshot taken is not enough to take valid actions". Although you could se clearly that my friends truck and trailer were positioned in a weird way, because of a front crash and the rammer was literally 5 meters in front of me angled right towards me ( he was about to ram me and I explained that in the ticket) No ****s given to a person who gives a **** about this multiplayer and tries his best to report this kinds of behavior... This is a simulator and you are supposed to drive as you would in real life. That is the goal of this game and there is where you find its joy. If you want to ram and do ****, go play GTA or something else.. So ffs let us take screenshots while driving because it is the only way to show it to you who is an honest and respectful player and who is not! Most sincere apologies for the language, but I get enraged with this kind of stuff.. Sincerely, Browolf Edited February 1, 2016 by SprinterFS Removed Profanity based on the forum rules.

Takumi Fujiwara 86 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Posted January 30, 2016 its about time someone suggested this also for future reference: screenshots are not sufficient evidence of ramming, only videos are sufficient.
Krym Posted January 30, 2016 Report Posted January 30, 2016 -1 Thats why you record when you're playing. SS have been disabled because it freezes your client for a split second. this can be exploited to stutter in front of someone causing an accident . Its basically disabled to prevent trolls from exploiting a way to cause incidents... Regards, Krym Owner of Global Logistics
DJ Lewis Posted January 30, 2016 Report Posted January 30, 2016 ^ 1) Not everyone can record 2) Even if they disabled screenshots while moving to stop intentional stuttering, the 'trolls' still have the option of using quick save...

bullseye007 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Posted January 30, 2016 Download Bandicam and take Screenshots like what I do. I agree that it's like EA because how *_* they are haha
Browolf Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Posted January 30, 2016 its about time someone suggested this also for future reference: screenshots are not sufficient evidence of ramming, only videos are sufficient. because they are too lazy to conclude an event through multiple screenshots? you can almost make a video if u are fast enough and you save space from your disk and you don't need to suffer from fps drops while recording!
Happy Rogue Posted January 30, 2016 Report Posted January 30, 2016 I think the should bind ALT+Tab to close the game, it would at least stop people freezing there game in front of people
[ConSecGroup] VolvoDriver Posted January 30, 2016 Report Posted January 30, 2016 +1, I believe that it was possible to take ss while driving but they have changed it. It would be useful as reporting people with in appropriate names. As by the time you've stopped they've driven off. If what I said was helpful or you liked it, please press the vote up button
legocube Posted January 30, 2016 Report Posted January 30, 2016 +1 for me since i don't have a powerful enough computer to record and play at the same time(it would go down to 10 fps in game so ... i prefer to keep it at 22fps).
FernandoCR [ESP] Posted January 30, 2016 Report Posted January 30, 2016 That's why nVidia Shadowplay, OBS or plays.tv come so handy. They allow you to get a buffered video of the X previous minutes, so you can have video evidence even after the troll rammed you and got away. I don't know about the others, but Shadowplay doesn't affect FPS at all. The only problem is that you need a GTX 600 series GPU or higher.
Digital Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 It's an interesting one, as some say the freeze could be abused, even though there's still quick save and alt+tab. However for now there are many screen recording applications you can use to take screenshots instead of F12.
BritishTeaBag Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 I agree with this, the amount of times i want to take a nice scenic screenshot but can't because i have about 70 trucks behind me
TrademarkGamer Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 -1 from me yes it would help get trolls banned BUT taking screenshots makes you have a mini lag spike would do more harm than good. Also trolls would use this to troll.
RayRay5 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Posted February 8, 2016 The reason why they got deactivated is that the game freezes for the time the screenshot is taken which is about 1 or 2 seconds which is enouh time to cause someone driving behind you to crash into you 2 "Just because others break rules, does not grant you the permission to break the rules as well" Please drive respectful on the servers. Thank you!
The Imaginative Lad Posted February 8, 2016 Report Posted February 8, 2016 Nice idea but you can use other methods to get a screenshot such as using the AMD Evolved App (Raptr) overlay. That can take screenshots and doesn't cause any pause. Yes the pause is annoying had some guy alt+tab infront of me the other day at least 3 times. I can't overtake as I keep being stopped while he continues at 50-60mph. I can't really say much as recently I bought a capture card so screen capture software is no longer required. Have a problem with your ban? Make an appeal
FirestarteR93 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Posted February 8, 2016 Alternatively You can use recording software - some of them have option to take a screenshot (e.g. fraps)
bullseye007 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Posted February 16, 2016 +1, it does freeze the game, but only for about 2 seconds, and everything is fine.
Slumpdog Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 This is why I want a server economy added. It would also help with trolls, and idiots. Check my suggestion out. https://forum.ets2mp.com/index.php?/topic/27588-server-economy/#entry247266
Amazing Red Panda Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 Can't say +1 because some player can use it to troll as low spec computers will freeze when taking a screenshot.
Puncake Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 This used to be in MP when it first came out, it would be a good idea but some would suddenly stop due to time taking to take screenshot or wait for it to take which is why it got removed i think 1
konfig0 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 The main problem with it getting it back is that while taking the picture you'll get a small lag spike, and for me this also happens in singleplayer. I know in other games (CS:GO or other shooters) these lag spikes don't occur, and if they occur they're really minor compared to ATS/ETS2. Maybe it's caused by the way how the picture is saved in Steam folders, I don't really know. But the TruckersMP developers can't fix these lag spikes. I wonder if you look both ways when you cross my mind.. Be slow to critize, be fast to appreciate.

There was a reason why this has been implemented and TruckersMP is not going to remove that restriction anytime soon because of the above-mentioned reason. Having the scroll-lock quick save function in-game is already the worst what can happen when you are driving behind somebody without the required safety distance. However, being able to take screenshots while driving would make this even worse as the lag is not only a split second but much longer, thus causing higher risks of crashing. Additionally, there are some recording software programs such as Nvidia's GeForce Experience which allow taking screenshots during the drive. Rejected.
