How to Take Screenshots (Works on other non-Steam overlay friendly games too)

[Spriggan]

Unfortunately, The Sacred Tears TRUE's engine (RPG Maker 2000) and the Steam overlay don't get along so well, so it's not possible to take screenshots with the overlay as usual. Fortunately there is a workaround (emphasis on the word 'work') that you can use.

Here goes:

a) Identify the appID of the game. STT's AppID is 316840.
b) Take all the screens you need. (PrintScr, use Camtasia, etc. FRAPS does not work with RPG Maker games. For best results, you can adjust your screen resolution to match the game, press Alt+Enter to go full screen so you don't have to edit anything and obtain clean 640x480 screens.)
c) Close Steam.
d) Locate a folder named with the appID (316840 in this case) in the following file path: Program Files\Steam\userdata\X(number may vary)\760\remote
e) Create a "screenshots" folder inside that folder. Inside screenshots create a folder called "thumbnails".
f) Each screenshot is named with the date and a number. Structure is year-month-date: 2012-XX-XX_00001.jpg.
g) Create the thumbnails for your screens! Thumbnails resolution size is 200x112. Screenshots need a thumbnail. They retain the same file name as the full size screenshot.
h) Open Steam again. Let is synchronise and scan your files. Open your screenshots folder. Voilá! The newly taken screenshots will be there, ready to be uploaded to the cloud so you can carry them everywhere!

Hoping to see plenty of contributions! This knowledge will be very useful if other games fail to take screens or have problems too.

Or steam can just add support for these games. But that is hopeful wishing . :P
