Its not fake,

the following is true!

1) The image in the gm window was not edited its exactly as shown
2) The program was not edited other than the values of an x and y for the background
3) The bears are not superimposed
4) The screenshot was taken with the DLL and sent to gm with no editing
5) Other than smudging, Adobe photoshop was not used to edit the image

EDIT: Oh yeah i took out the buttons cause i didnt want them, if you want i could take another screenie with the buttons. But i promise you the image there is exactly as shown (except for the smudging)

Heh, cool... now here comes the hard part: Is it possible to make it capture a part of the screen behind the game window without having the game window disappear? I'm trying to do this every step so it's ALWAYS "transparent", but of course I need to use window_set_visible(false) to get the screen behind the window, so every step the screen flashes (30 times per second=unplayable game)...

Why not just take one screenshot and use that as the game's background? You only need to update when the window goes in/out of focus or if the window is moved...

But then how do I do it with the in/out of focus? There is no way (without a DLL) to check if the window is out-of-focus, and even if there was, the window would flash when that happened...

Not if your removed the border. And yes, it probably would take a DLL for the window checking, but it would mainly be a "if foreground window doesn't equal window_handle()" set this var. If var = 1 and window_handle() = foreground window, make invisible, take shot, reappear the window and make shot as background.

A polling method is much better than a constant stream.

Thats not what I meant by fake... I never said it was a doctored photo. What I meant by fake is that the window is not actually transparent it just has the background of the screenshot, and it uses a view to change the position and makes it look like it transparent. I'ved done that exact thing too... But you misunderstood what I meant by fake transparency.

its still trnsparent though... isnt it?

[misturx]

I'm happy you guys like the dll. I may update it soon so I'll keep in touch.
I am also working on some other dll's for GM which I will release soon.

[DefuzionGames]

it works fine : few probs:
could you make it so you can specifiy file name for capture_screen_part()

also i use SVP.dll to play a movie in the GM window. it seems the capture.dll only captures a black image. i take it this is because it is a movie played 'over' the gm window.

BUT it does seem to capture movies played on windows media player so how do i capture a movie played within gm window??
