When you take a screenshot with warcraft 3 or warcraft 3: TFT, it get saved as a .tga file and windows can't normally open .tga files.
This is where The GNU Image Manipulation Program comes into play or shortly said GIMP.

a little lol drama omgzorz, what is it exactly in the spoiler?
Read and find out muahahahahaha :D

Spoiler:
After you took your screenshot of ex: Trinity's ORPG save.
Go to where warcraft 3 is installed, then go to the screenshot folder.
OMFGZORZ I CANT OPEN .TGA STUPID BLIZZARD AND THEIR .TGA!!!
Oh, whait, with GIMP I can open it like any other picture.
Thank you, GIMP.
You made our life easier.

Game capture allows you to copy your code straight from the program without needing to printscreen or save a screenshot.
Every rpg player should at least check it out and give it a try.

meh, I just started using GIMP due a friend my twilight's eve codes, eclipse codes and 3 other rpg maps where getting to big to memorize xD
It's just something handy for alot of people, but there's also a bunch who uses other programs and then write off the programs they don't use.
