| Post subject: | Helpful & Useful Tools |
This thread is intended as a collection of helpful tools in regard to the Napoleonic Wars series(but I guess also all other HPS/JTS games). AutoHotkey http://ahkscript.org/ This tool helps to cover the ground where the games do not provide any hotkeys, personally I haven used it till now but I see on a different forum that it seems to be very helpful althought some time has to be invested to maximize its potential. Gimp http://www.gimp.org/ This is a free but still highly capable graphic art software for making signatures & avatars in but could be also used for editing screenshots for AARs(After-Action-Reports). Hardcopy http://www.hardcopy.de/ Currently my choice for taking screenshots as it allows some nice things like taking just sections of the screen instead of full screen screenshots. It is free but comes with a pop-up message from time to time. Paint.net http://www.getpaint.net/ This is another free graphic program, with it the famous Old Banshee graphic mods for the Civil War series were done. Screenpresso http://www.screenpresso.com/ This is a helpful tool that lets you easily take screenshots and edit them with various useful additions like arrows, circles, lines, text, speech bubbles, etc. what makes it highly valuable for AARs. Check out their feature video to see what it can do. So that's it for now, if anyone else has something helpful please post it and I will add it to this post. |

Although a single file might work for all the various series I advise to check what hotkeys come with each game series as they differ from series to series, besides that depending on the game series you might need keys in one series that are useless in a other series. |
