Needing Help Finding My POTC Pics - Pirates of the Caribbean Online Fansite & Forums

Samantha Badscarlett · #1 07-06-2010, 08:45 PM

Recently I became aware of how to take pictures while playing POTC (Yeah I Know, I'm kinda behind on my skills lol) However, I don't know how to retrieve them. A friend tried explaining it while on POTC, but I guess I need step by step directions on how to retrieve them. I have windows 7, so i don't know if that would make much difference on retrieving them. Thanks to anyone who can help me! =)

Well Samantha.. it depends... I need to know:
1.. What operating system are you using? Is it a Windows machine or a Mac? XP? Vista?
2. Are you using the stand alone version ( click an icon on your desktop ) to access pirates or do you launch the program from your browser ( go to the web site, login , click play ).

The program stores the pictures in different places depending on these conditions.

I think that is for posting screen shots rather than finding them.. Let me know if that link is not helpful Samantha.

It has where to find them too. For both PC and Mac. I posted the Mac stuff.

I have windows 7 on my lap top and vista on my desktop. I launch the program from browser on both. I've looked everywhere for these suckers. I found a disney file, but it said its empty. I know they are going some where.. just hiding really good from me lol. the only snap shots i can find is from my sims 3

Ok ty - the browser may be putting the pics in a hidden directory, which may explain why it is so hard for you to find.

Here is the path on my VISTA machine for my pics when I use the browser version of Pirates. The directory in RED is the hidden folder and you may need to unhide it first ( under properties, let me know if you need help with this)

Okay. So I'm a lil embarressed right now. I was working on a different project and went in and clicked "show hidden files", well as i was still working on that project, guess what i happen to find? LOL the POTC SCREEN SHOTS! I feel so silly. After readying ur instructions Kat I was able to go back into them and get what I wanted. Thank you guys so much for sticking with me!
