ScreenShots - use a script

[wassup]

I know how to take screenshots with no hud and gun but i cant get it into a nice script. At the moment i can only get it into 2 different scripts because "impulse 200" is not the best command.

Script 1 & 2:
--
sv_cheats 1
impulse 200
--
sv_cheats 1
cl_drawhud 0
screenshot
cl_drawhud 1
--

But this still does not work properly because when doing multiple screenshots the hud is still there. I been trying to use the wait command but it does not help.

Is there a way to make it so on key press it does the shot then on key release it puts the hud back?
Other than using "impulse 200" is there another way because its stops the script from working when used quickly?

Try a wait command between all commands. It should work better I think.

bind f5 "cl_drawhud 0; wait; jpeg; cl_drawhud 1"

That should first hide the hud and then take a screenie.

How do you have it hide the weapon also? That would make for some good screenies.

 

[Pauly]

cl_drawweapon? I dunno for sure though.

 

[wassup]

hide weapons = "impulse 200"

Atomi - use the "screenshot" command not "jpeg"

I need to get it all into 1 key with the impulse 200 (does not work if you take shots quickly).
There must be a way around this problem?

r_drawviewmodel 0

ok, so...

bind "F5" "sv_cheats 1; wait; cl_drawhud 0; wait; r_drawviewmodel 0; wait; screenshot; wait; cl_drawhud 1; wait; r_drawviewmodel 1; wait; sv_cheats 0"

That should just about do it.

Replace the command 'screenshot' with this if you want high quality jpeg images instead of tga:

jpeg_quality 100; jpeg

but tga are better quality that jpegs

Unrelated-I had a lot of fun replaying Ravenholm with no HUD and no reticule because you feel more immersed in the game + you reload a LOT more.. you should try it.

Hrm... that actually sounds pretty awesome. Did you have the information in the crosshair or no?

 

[Bicka]

but tga are better quality that jpegs

When u set the quality to 100 though there both the same

And yeah I'll sometimes turn off the hud to take a screenie and end up playing a little bit just cos of the added difficulty of no crosshair. Especially with the 357 cos that model is gorgeous!
