I wanted to snapshot but how? Sorry that i am a noob Confused.
I think F8 does something like that.

Otherwise FRAPS should do the job. (yes the free version should work fine, I used it for a few screenshots)
Just convert the BMP file to a PNG (recommended) or JPEG file.
Ok thanks.
I got a problem, i downloaded the Fraps, i snapshot 1 time, i change them into .PNG, but why does my custom story still doesn't have pictures Huh?
You mean just before pressing start?
In that case, have you got this code in your extra_english.lang?
Code:
    ImgFile="picture.png"

I am about 150% sure that it is "custom_story_settings.cfg".
Anyway, if you need help adding the code then check out this article.
Ok, my custom story is like this:

<Main
Name="One World To Another"
Author="Anson"
ImgFile="A Dork with a sword.PNG"

StartMap="One World To Another.map"
StartPos="PlayerStartArea_1"
/>
(I renamed the Picture's name to "A Dork with a sword.PNG")
Than i test my map but the map doesn't have a picture (only got descriptions), what king of problem is this Huh?

Edit: Sorry for the late reply, i was sleeping just now Smile.
Well, try this out then:
  1. Open Paint, open the picture inside of paint, save it as PNG.
    In case you simply renamed it to a PNG file this is most likely the cause.
  2. Try not to use any spaces.
    I doubt this is the cause, but who knows?
