Just wanted to put this out there: if you really like a map, the best way to thank the maker is by capturing some in-game screens and posting them on the map (or mod) thread. Mappers often envision a certain way to go about a mission, and it is very interesting what variations each person comes up with, how he does at various stages of the battle. This also helps us make better maps by seeing what kind of objectives are difficult or take too long. Finally, its a great way to let others know about a new release that you enjoyed and why. All the best!

I know not what course others may take. As for me, give me liberty or give me death.

A super idea, could you post a link to refresh folks on how to do and post a screenshot, if it is already spelled out.
Thanks.

me, i create it pressing stamp bottom on the keyboard, put in pause the game, press windows bottom and wait window game become smaller, then i open paint and i press ctrl+v, at the end i save and when you close paint window, the game window back to be the main without recall it. i don't know if it's a right way (i wanted mean, i don't know if it can cause crash time later, surely not in the few time). anyway i concure in whole about ocelo saying, i never seen here, for example, an after action report of a mission (because of a singular action i did 1 or 2 days later). try to open a section AAR ... i saw this in another forum of anoither game, i talk about alphacentauri2info, or maybe is more usefull as ocelo said, in the relative map thread.

I always try to give feedback to the mapper which made the map I was playing. Its cool for the mapper to get some feedback and its also fun for the other to read how you played the mission. The screenshot thread is unfortunately totally dead. It seems like if the community prefers to mod instead of playing and giving feedback

But...modding is fun too! The only downside is it never ends...

But...modding is fun too! The only downside is it never ends... I have to agree on this statement... I started a Chapter in 2008 and still haven't completed it... I needed some models for the maps and the rest is history...
