DX GRAB |
Introduction |
DX Grab is a program a lot of people have
a lot of trouble working with. Especially with Worms2. Apparently, some
people have got it to work: most haven't.
Note: This program does NOT work with Worms Armageddon |
Downloading |
It is obtainable from http://pw2.netcom.com/~bdube/dxgrab.html. There is one version available there, and registration is free. The file is under 600K download size. |
Installing |
To install, you will need Winzip, or equivalent.
Unzip the setup files into a temporary directory, and run "setup.exe".
Follow the prompts, and then delete the temporary files.
After you have installed it, you may wish
to type in the following registration code:

Running |
When you open the program you should see
a screen like this.
Click the "New..." button After that you will be presented with a screen like this. Type in a preset filename in the "Capture Name" box. If you put "wormpic" or something in there, the filenames of the screen shots will be named wormpic1.bmp, wormpic2.bmp, etc. After that click the "Browse" button. After clicking the browse button you are presented with a standard Win95 Open screen. Click your way over to your worms2 directory and double click "Frontend.exe" Now the screen should look something like this. After that, click "OK" After clicking "OK" You should see something like this. Now before you are the final steps. First click the "Browse" button in the upper right. Now you see a Win 95 Browse for Folder screen. Click the + next to the drive worms2 is located in. This can actually be any directory. This is the directory where the screen shots are put when you take one. You can choose the Worms2 Directory, or if you want you an make a sub-directory. Once done, click "OK". After that, you should see the screen like this. I strongly suggest that you change the hotkeys to HOME and END. These are the best two keys for hotkeys (If you didn't know, hotkeys are the buttons you press to active something). You'll have to manually home in on your worms now though with the HOME key already in use. Click "OK" when done. Now back to the beginning screen. |
Taking a Screenshot |
![]() Click on the icon and click "Launch". Configure Worms2 like normal. Now once you are IN-GAME (not in frontend) you can start taking pictures. To do so press the pre-determined button, in this case HOME. At the end of the game, DX Grab will tell you how many screenshots it took. |
Completing the Process |
Assuming all worked upto here, the files are automatically saved into the output directory you specified under options. Close up DX Grab and enjoy! |
