IN-GAME CAMERA MODULE

Hates Digital Camera mod allows for it's included in-game camera to save screenshots to your user folder.

With this module placed, anyone who will take a picture with the mod cameras will actually take a screenshot of the current view. Note that the view you get from the camera is slightly altered in brightness, contrast, and focus due to game engine limitations. Taking a regular screenshot from splendid camera is preferred.

The image will be saved to the user's documents folder where also editor missions are stored.

Reference this WIKI page to set up your profile file to make sure the screenshots will save properly. Without this modification, the camera will not work!
