I tried to make a screenshot with WDE, I used the tools - take screenshot thing.
But, when using paint, I can't paste the image, because the paste option in edit menu is gray. How do I paste a screenshot from WDE to paint, or is it impossible?

Mmmm, pizza. 
What merlin said, and look in the WDE-folder on your system. I think it directly writes it to a file.

Thanks guys. Just a small problem, I'm trying to make a map out of the minimap screenshot. I print-screen the image, edit it in paint, make the size 640 * 480, save it as 256 color bmp.
When using it as a map in-game, the star-thing that appears when the map is displayed, doesn't appear. Is this some mistake in the show_bmp command?

show_bmp("tiles\map.bmp", 1,0);
make sure the "1" is there.

It's there, the star doesn't appear. Hehe.

Edit: Oh, I now see the screenshots created by WDE. As magicman said, WDE puts the screenie in a folder automatically, but I was too n00b to see them, they are all inside the dmod folder, lol.
Thanks all.

start a new game, and make sure the screen you're on isn't "inside", which means there is no S on the screen in dinkedit.

Uh, none of the screens are made as "inside" or "indoors", I started the game again, still doesn't appear .

You should first walk around a few screens. Also: there might not be a star appearing when you are walking at the edge of the map. So make sure you are at least one screen off the edge.

Thank you. The star appears now, but in a greenish color, not yellow at all. Lol, this is annoying

No, actually I didn't even start making one .
I'm just playing around with DinkC; yeah, I'm pretty bored.
