Openrct2: No message box appearing after you made a screenshot in-game

[ ] Reproducible in RCT2 (vanilla)? (Vanilla RCT2 did it correctly)
[ ] Multiplayer?

Steps to reproduce:

Make a screenshot in-game.
You see not red message box appear saying whether the screenshot was made or there was an error and what the file name of the screenshot is. When you make a giant screenshot, this works perfectly, but for normal screenshots, this doesn't work. And I can remember a long time ago, this worked perfectly in OpenrCT2

A good sound effect and/or a subtle visual effect would be a better solution.

I removed it because if you take several screenshots consecutively the error box from the last one appears in the screenshot.

I agree with @Niels-NTG

You could trigger the lighting flash weather effect when taking a screenshot.

What do you think @IntelOrca ?

I don't know

maybe make yellow text like the floating price tag saying "saved screenshot xyz.png"

@Patrik356b not a good idea: the same reason as why @IntelOrca removed the error box when you made a screenshot: you can see it in the next screenshot

hence the maybe. I didn't know those would show up too on the screenshots

audio_play_sound(SOUND_QUACK, 100, gScreenWidth / 2);? 😉

Ok seriously…
audio_play_sound(SOUND_WINDOW_OPEN, 100, gScreenWidth / 2); feels actually quite fitting.
