elite Liberal gangsters - Screenshot Guide V2

Hey there. So, as a roleplayer and a leader I have found it necessary to post up screenshots on my own threads, so, given some of the guides you see out there are very difficult to understand, today I have decided to show you the easiest ways you can get to with editing SAMP Roleplay screenshots! There are multiple softwares out there, which need practice to get familiar with. By far the easiest out of all 3 methods I know so far; LSRP+, paint.net, Photoshop and Doakes Helper, the last one is the easiest to get going with. So, I will discuss LSRP+ and Doakes Helper in this guide!

Doakes Helper

So, starting with the easiest screenshot editing method, this application is a very simple application with a very user-friendly interface which is simple to get it kicked off with. First off, you need to download the application, I have provided you a download link which redirects you to the download immediately, here you go:-

https://github.com/kfirprods/doakes-helper/releases/download/v6.2/Doakes.Helper.v6.2.zip

After you download and extract the application, you need to head over to the folder and run the application named "Doakes LSRP Helper". After you've done that, you are introduced to a very user-friendly interface. After examining the interface you now are familiar with it. Then, you press the Camera button and then, another interface should come up like this:

Personally, I never load Blindfolds with my images. A recommended step from my side is renaming the main screenshot aside from the blindfolds. More or less something like screenshot1.png and blindfold1.png, which makes it easier for you to find when loading them later on. You then proceed to click "Select File" and find the screenshot you want to edit. Then, you can go ahead and click "Start Editing". This will bring you to a brand, new editing interface with many tools. If you don't want many blindfolds to edit with, it is recommended to roleplay after using the command /localcon, which disables messages from people who are away from you. The interface you are going to be editing with looks like this:

Without needing to mess with any of the other tools, it is recommended that you scroll down and click the large T button. This shows all the blindfold screenshots you have selected in the earlier step, but if you are someone like I am, you can click the "Load More Blindfolds" on the top of the right side, where the blindfold screenshots are supposed to be at. It should look something like this:

After you pick out your blindfolds one by one, your right side of the screen should be filled with automatically edited blindfold screenshots. How to apply them to your image you may ask? It is actually very simple! All you need to do to apply the line into the screenshot, you doubleclick the line you want to add. After continuing adding them in order, your screenshot is pretty much finished and you can save it. Now, the final result looks something like this:

LSRP+

So now, we have got the easiest method of editing screenshots out of the way. Stepping the difficulty up by a bit, this is the least recommended editing method as it can be misused in a way. Either way, there isn't too much to explain on this one. The program is called LSRP+ and as the first step, you basically need to download and install the application, here goes the link:-

After you've downloaded and extracted the file from the link above, what you are given is a very simple application. You run the application and it boots up with a login screen. You do not need to sign up or anything, every feature within the application is 100% free so you can go ahead and continue as a guest. Then another interface will popup with multiple options. What you need to click on is the Screenshot Editor tab which leads you to another window with two options: Edit Screenshot and Stitch Screenshots. Personally, I've never used the second one so Edit Screenshot is what you need. After clicking it a window will popup asking you to select the file. After you've done that, it is recommended that you set the image size to the one displayed on the window, as from my experience, there is a white bar on the far right bug which basically ruins a great screenshot edit. What you need to do afterwards is clicking on the Set Chat option and this is where the actual editing happens.

Down below I've listed the Hex colors for eLg, which go as mentioned below:

• {ff8000} - Hex code of /s.
• {ffc1e0} - Hex code of /me.
• {ffcc99} - Hex code of /do.

After you've gotten that out of the way, you now start editing. What you need to avoid is misuse of the application by manipulating a roleplay text to your advantage. Having that one outta your way, you can now start setting the messages via this format:

Code Select Expand

{hex goes here}Text goes here
After you've done that, save your chat and image, then export it.

Happy editing to all of you who read this guide!
