i've spent the last couple days figuring out what the problem is with black screenshots and i think i've more or less cleared my mind about this.

i found this to be a useful reading
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23898...en-capture

hooking to the opengl library in bs process (hd-frontend.exe) is effective as i can get a picture of the game even if the window is minimized or in the background.

hope someone more experienced than me could profit from this to make the project go on.


EDIT: maybe this other link could be of some use
