Screen Shot Guide

So I've seen a lot of screens, which are either not proper or aren't edited, below that the faction leaders must've been know to how to edit screens as this is one of the important jobs to do to produce you're role-play activities in such form to show the actions with proper message and context for the reader to give a sight on the screens, so this is a Beginner's tutorial of how to edit screens,
Context/Note : The Settings which will be shown is my Prefer's so if you want to change them it's okay but it would be better using the ones I use.


-How to take a Screen Shot via In Game
Many people here either use some sniping tool to take screens, or XBOX Game Screenshots (Windows 10+ users), but the easiest and best way is to Press F7 twice to clear you're Chat so you can take a clean screenshot, secondly without the chat to take screenshot, press F8 once and press F7 again to confirm if the screenshot is taken or not, if it is a chat-log appears at you're screen saying 'Screenshot Taken ~sa-mp(the number of screen shot taken/saved).png
Spoiler: ShowHide

These Screenshots can be found at Documents < Gta San Andreas User Files < SAMP < screens , saved as samp-(screenshot number), for example 'samp-001'
Spoiler: ShowHide


-Setting up LSRP+
LSRP+ is a screen editing tutorial made for Sa-mp, FiveM Servers and has basic features to edit screens for a beginner and most recommended to use if you don't for knowledge to edit screens, you can download the LSRP+ from this link : ' LSRP+ Mega Download ', This file is in a zip so just simply open the ZIP file through 7zip or any applications you've gotten to view .ZIP and .RAR files, Simply just click on the .exe file you'll find in the file and paste it on you're desktop.
Spoiler: ShowHide

Now after that open the application, there would be a pop up to either login/signup or continue as guest, I would recommend to use it as a guest as myself I use it because I don't know if the entire thing is trusted or has a security system, but if someone want's to make an account go ahead but prefer to use it as a guest there's not a big difference in using as logged account or using as guest.
Spoiler: ShowHide

After that another popup appears with multiple options, 'Friend List (Only for logged users)' 'Financial  Simulator (I don't know the use of that but it seems to make character's or something ignore it) 'Screenshot Editor' 'Chatlog Archiver' 'Chatlog Parser', so we just need to use the 'Screenshot Editor',
Spoiler: ShowHide

Click on it and two options will appear, 'Edit Screenshot' 'Stitch Screenshot', Select the Edit Screenshot option
Spoiler: ShowHide

Now a screen will appear and will ask you to open a screen, go to the directory (Documents/Userfiles) where you're SAMP screens are saved and open the one you want to edit
Spoiler: ShowHide


-Settings for Images
Once your image has loaded, the screen should look like this as default
Spoiler: ShowHide

Now this is just an example image, you have to use a clean image for role-plays, now click on the option to the left bottom 'Image Size', The default image size is set but for my resolution the most suitable is 1150x600 (my resolution is 1366x678x32, No Widescreen) So I prefer using 1150x600 as you're image size, like this
Spoiler: ShowHide

After Resizing the image :


-Settings for Chats
Now chats are very Important and play's a vital role in making chat-logs, some people use the default one by cropping and removing the background but I prefer making my own chat-logs with the context I had while role-playing so If there's some additional chat-logs in between my role-play, I don't have to crop them everytime,
To set your chat, click on the option 'Chat Settings and copy the settings I have,

Spoiler: ShowHide

Now to add chat-logs, click on the option 'Set Chat which would bring you to a screen like this,
Spoiler: ShowHide

This is the place where you add chat-logs, Now some formats you have to memorise to add you're own chat-logs, Firstly Colors, I don't use the colors which are present in the server so if you prefer using mines here's a list of colors I use with the dialougs :
/s color {ff8000}
/ me color {c2a3da}
/shout color {ff0000}
/do color {800000}

But you can also edit them as you want, there's an option for 'pick color' when you open Set Chat, click on it and add color as you like,
Spoiler: ShowHide

After Adding the color you have to memorise the formats of how chat-log works/looks, here are some examples
for / me , [Character's_Name][Action], E.G :{c2a3da}Peter Says hi to his friends
for / do , [Action][Character's_Name], E.G :{800000}Walks out of the house (Peter)
for / s , [Character's_Name] says '', E.G :{ff8000}Peter says 'Hello'
for / shout , [Character's_Name] shouts '', E.G :{ff0000}Peter shouts 'Hey You'

Spoiler: ShowHide

After that, Save the chat and you would find the chat on you're screen top left.
Spoiler: ShowHide

You can move the chats from left to right or up to down by either pressing 'Enter' for up and down and 'Space Bar for Left to right' in your chat settings to the position you want to fit it in, This isn't a necessary just an option,
Tip : Don't add too many chats in you're screen, just add minimum 5 and maximum 9 lines of chat (important parts), because a screen full of chats looks bad... Keep it clean.


-Finishing
So that's it, how you can make simple looking but good screens for you're role-play, one last thing before exporting make another folder in you're downloads named as 'Samp Screen's and export the screens there named as 'Screen 1/Screen 2/Screen 3' and so on because then it's easy to sort you're screens, and before uploading them on the forums make sure to use the spoiler because it reduces the size of you're thread and makes it look better, and uploading image the size should be set to 1150x600 (1150 as width and 600 as height) on forums aswell, if you do it all right you're screens should look like these samples and what I have for my faction :
