I know this question is has probably been answered before, but I am to lazy to do a search. How would one go about making screenshots in game?

My good sir, You press F5 and that puts a screenshot in your My Documents\My BZFlag Files\screenshots folder, that is if you are using the Windows operating system.

I was unaware that this only worked for windows. I was slightly annoyed at wHo for asking such a simple question and now I find myself doing the same thing - how do you take a screenshot under Linux then?

the key works in any OS.

the location of the files are difrent in each os.

on linux it'll be in ~/.bzf/screenshots

Just for reference, If you are on a iBook (and I guess a PowerBook) and you are missing the numpad, then chances are the F5 key increases the computers volume. The trick is to press the fn key (probably bottom left corner of the keyboard) AND F5.

I belive the location of the screen on mac is
~/library/application support/bzflag/screenshots/

(the ~ standing for local user)

The file location is printed into the console after you hit F5.
