Title: Ingame screenshots
Post by: Survivor on June 05, 2006, 01:03:55 am

There seems to be a tiny bit of interest in making or using screenshots so this post is meant to clarify some things.

When screenshots are made they are saved in ../tremulous/base/screenshots

tjw on windows saves in
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Application Data\Tremulous\base\screenshots

Commands:

/screenshot: Makes a screenshot in .tga format. High quality, big filesize and it can slow down trem for a moment on weaker computers.

/screenshotjpeg: Makes a screenshot in .jpg format. Good quality, small filesize, no notable slowdown. Most commonly used.

/cg_drawgun x: x stands for either 0 or 1, 0 means the gun is removed from the screen and 1 means it is shown onscreen.

/cg_draw2d x: x stands for either 0 or 1, 0 hides the hud and crosshair while 1 makes them appear.


The following are binds that can be included in your config for easy screenshots. Change F11 or F12 to any key you want to use.

'Clear' screenshot. The hud,crosshair and gun are removed from the screenshot which is saved in .jpeg format.
/bind F11 "cg_drawgun 0;cg_draw2d 0;wait 25;screenshotjpeg;cg_drawgun 1;cg_draw2d 1"

Jpeg format screenshot. For quick screenshots.
/bind F12 "screenshotjpeg"

Only took them out my config as I wrote them in when I started. Never bother using most standard ingame commands as I've mostly customized them to my playing style.
