Do you agonize over where to put that table? Have a themed dorm? Cram every item you can onto the lawn? Whether you’re in a dorm, mansion, cottage, or castle, if you love your house, we invite you to enter our Wizard101 Housing Contest and show it off!
It’s easy to enter, just become a fan by clicking “Become a Fan” at the top, and post 1 screenshot in the Wizard101 Housing Contest event by Tuesday, October 20.
You may take screenshots of any area of your house, inside or outside. Players under 13 may email us their entry at community@wizard101.com with the subject line “Wizard101 Housing Contest.”
Make sure you include in the caption:
• “Wizard101 Housing Contest”
• Your character’s name in game (Example: Fiona LionHeart)
• Your school of magic
• Your level
• What type of housing (Dorm, Wooded Cottage, Forested Mansion, Oasis Camp, Desert Villa, Metropolitan Manor, Royal Estate, Tranquil Cottage, Imperial Palace, Great Citadel, or Grand Fortress)
Winners will receive a Facebook or email message from us.
Eleven 1st Place winners (1 for each housing type) will receive 7500 Crowns, and fifty-five 2nd Place winners (5 for each housing type) will receive 5000 Crowns.
We will also have 3 Community Choice winners who will receive 7500 Crowns. These will be voted on by our Wizard101 Facebook community in a Community Choice poll starting Oct. 20, 2009.
How to take a Screenshot in Wizard101
Basic
Press the PrintScreen button on your keyboard. This will take a screenshot of your entire screen, so you will want to be running Wizard101 fullscreen.
The file will be saved in your C:/Program Files/KingsIsle Entertainment/Wizard101/Bin folder (this could vary if you installed Wizard101 elsewhere).
Alternatively, if you are running Wizard101 fullscreen, you can also press PrintScreen, then open MS Paint and use Ctrl+V to paste the image. Save the file.
Advanced Tips
If you are running Wizard101 windowed, press Alt+PrintScreen. This will take a screenshot only of the currently active window.
Open MS Paint and press Ctrl+V to paste. Save the file.
Pressing Ctrl+G will make all buttons and bubbles invisible. Remember to press Ctrl+G again after you take the screenshot, or you will not see dialogue windows during normal play.
The scroll wheel on the mouse can adjust zoom slightly.
Click and drag with your mouse to adjust camera angle.
Now this is exciting! I am going to snap a few pictures right now. Good luck everyone! I can’t wait to see pictures of your Castle!
