You may or may not have heard of http://code.google.com/p/zscreen/ but it serves as the root of this problem. Every single time I use the "Crop shot" function (Ctrl+Printscreen) while in the Construction Set, a Kwama grub screech plays. Very loudly. This does not happen if I press ctrl+printscreen without Zscreen running. Now, I don't really expect a fix, but I find this ridiculously strange and felt like sharing it. A fix would just be a bonus. :bonk:

That makes absolutely no sense what-so-ever... Have you tried just ctrl on it's own with ZScreen running?

Maybe ZScreen works by sending a keystroke to the OS. If that is so I would assume what happens is:

ZScreen captures Ctrl+Print Screen, Sends a Print Screen keystroke, TES CS captures print screen keystroke and preforms action (Which is something to do with making a noise for some reason). Where as if ZScreen isn't running, the Ctrl is not captured so the TESCS doesn't do anything for Ctrl+PrntScreen

A random guess, and I am not digging through 1000s of lines of source to find out.

I think it's known that the CS makes noise if you hit printscreen, but I don't remember.

In the Construction set, go to an npc. Press prt scrn and watch. The Npc's shoulders will move. Keep pressing it very fast, and the npc will look as if he\she is breathing. it just happens. Also, if you put Dagoth Ur in the world and press that, he will go from being pressed to the ground to being standing upright. I think it's a preview thing.

... and if you have a creature selected, it will cycle through its animations and play its sounds! Mystery solved!

really i did not know this. or the NPC breathing thing.... or the dagoth ur thing....

....is there reallt preview thing or are you guys pulling my leg lol

i have always found that it plays a sound when i hit printscreen i haven't ever used ctrl + printscreen (i crop in photoshop) my way around the sound was to not have the CS selected i click on the task bar and hit print screen and no sound!

What you didn't know that?
Yeah, printscreen makes animations play.

Just tried it out, it's true!

That's cool. I didn't know that!
