GTA SA User Files problem - JustinAn - 16.03.2014

Hey guys, I had a problem since playing SAMP on my Windows 8. (note: I've searched around SAMP forums)

When ever I tried to take a screen shot it says Unable to save screenshot, I tried changing my resolution and it worked. But when I check my GTA SA User Files it only shows this:

This is when you enter GTA SA User Files(in Documents):

When I played SAMP on my Windows 7, it had multiple folders like Gallery and User Tracks or gta_sa.set or w/e it's called. Then when I opened SAMP it would show chatlog.txt, savedpositions.txt. But none of them is there now.

Now when I open up the SAMP folder:

There's no savedposition, no screens folder. My screenshots or /save'd pos aren't there?

It only shows USERDATA.DAT

So, now I'm thinking. Is it because of windows 8 that interferes with SAMP? I really need a solution to this. I've tried running my SAMP or GTA in administrator, tried re-installing them, but no solution.

Use the Windows Button + Prnt Screen = Windows 8 screenshot.

iFarbod - It doesn't work, none of em. I told you at the bottom of my thread - runned as admin, didn't work.

Zex Tan - I do that but my chatlogs, my gallery photos, my savedpositions.txt espescially to get positions for scripting..

Try going to "C:\Users\<username>AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Pro gram Files\Rockstar Games\GTA Sandreas"

Windows 8 can sometimes have issues like this. A simple script for getting coordinates is provided below:

new string[128];
new Float: x, Float: y, Float: z;
GetPlayerPos(playerid, x, y, z);
format(string, sizeof(string), "%f -%f - %f, x, y, z);
print(string);
return 1;

This code would allow you to see the coordinates in your server_log file. This is just a simple code I came up with for that issue.

Abgail - That's great but there's many other things in the SAMP folder that I need, I just need a solution to revert it back as it was before. Without any custom made scripts.

IC3CR3AM - Didn't work, sorry. Tried it before.
