[BUG] Taking Screenshot resets Family

I had a replay where a robber killed my wife and left (standard starter house).  On the last step, after the robber had left the house, I took a screenshot with + (hopefully you'll be able to see why very soon ).  Much to my surprise, my children teleported to their starting locations, in the middle of the robbery, after my son had already left the house.  My wife was left lying on the ground, though.

I tested it further, and it seems like this will happen every time a robber leaves your house (as opposed to reaching the safe).  When they've left, but before the tape ends, if you take a screenshot your family is reset to their starting positions.  Animals don't seem to be reset.

Re: [BUG] Taking Screenshot resets Family

So can this bug be exploited for anything?

Re: [BUG] Taking Screenshot resets Family

No, it's of absolutely no use, since it only happens when you're watching replays.  If you can find an profitable exploit to that, you have my respect =P

Also, I got the keys mixed up - it happens when you take Mapshots (+), not Screenshots(=)

Re: [BUG] Taking Screenshot resets Family

I would like to have a working screenshot button.  Going from room to room area to area, hitting F12 (Steam screenshot), every time I edit my house is getting tedious.

So a couple of questions to clarify.

Does this bug still exist?
(+) is a Mapshot?
(=) is a Screenshot?
What's the difference between a mapshot and a screenshot?

Screenshot is exactly what you see on screen, like this:

Mapshot is an entire render of your house, like this:

Both of those keys work fine for me, and they're really useful. Although mapshots will only work in build mode. The bug discussed in this thread is pretty much just visual and won't cause any problems, not sure if it's fixed yet though.

Re: [BUG] Taking Screenshot resets Family

Like colorfusion said, both are still working fine.  If you're not finding your mapshots, remember that they're saved in a mapshot folder, not the screenshots one.

I'm fairly sure the bug has been fixed, though.  This is the part in the changelog that I think is about it:

--Fixed invisible objects in saved map shots ('+' key) from tape playback page.

Colorfusion, there... uh... doesn't actually seem to be any images that you're referring to?

Re: [BUG] Taking Screenshot resets Family

Great!  Thanks for the quick replies!

EDIT:
Mapshot works like a charm.  House is still intact and the image was saved as a targa in the following folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\CastleDoctrine\mapShots

Also, it seems like I've misread the initial post.  I didn't notice that the bug happened if you took a mapshot (+) while viewing tapes.  But as iceman said, the bug has (probably) been fixed.

Woops, I got distracted while waiting for the images to upload, then when I came back I forgot and submitted the post. I blame Imgur for being so slow recently.

Glad to hear that!

Also, I've tested it, and it seems like the bug actually hasn't been fixed.
