How to explicitly generate screenshots using Everyplay sdk 1.6+

I want to generate screen shots of a EAGLView using Everyplay SDK but unable to do it. In Everyplay's github page, change log say we can call [[[Everyplay sharedInstance] capture] takeThumbnail]; as many times we want but I don't find any way to obtain image from that.

Also, EveryplayCapture class provides a property "thumbnailTextureId" (I guess it refers to the opengl texture) but is always 0 or nil.

I don't want to use EAGLView's -snapshot method because the resultant image is not good enough (contains rough white border around sprites) for use.

Is there any way to obtain a screenshot image from everyplay?

Solution

  • You are close.

    In your class (then one you pass to Everyplay init method) implement this callback methods:

     - (void)everyplayThumbnailReadyAtFilePath:(NSString *)thumbnailFilePath;

    Now if you call 

    [[[Everyplay sharedInstance] capture] takeThumbnail];

    Everyplay will call the method above to inform you that it's ready - from there you can read it as file.
