Taking clean screenshots

Targ Collective · Post by **Targ Collective** » 15 Nov 2005, 12:20

I'm eager to stage a few battles via .cheat so we can use screenshots of them as epic-style Spring loading screens. F5 hides the GUI, but I know no way of hiding damage bars, the text in the far lower right and the crosshair. Yet this is plainly doable; the screens out there tell us this much.

Any ideas, anyone?

and u might type .info again

It'd help if you told me what these keys do (hint hint).

EDIT: I never have .info on.

f5 = hide gui
f9 = hide health bars
f12 = screenshot
.info = info (write again to disable it)

also .clock if you have it on.

The mouse will not dissapear untill you have removed the GUI, .info and .clock. What would also be good is the ability to disable selection boxes, but that isnt really important.

Thanks! That just leaves the issue of the cursor. (Reads post again.) Ok, maybe not.

EDIT: .clock... OK. Now all I need to do is spawn masses of troops and watch. I'll release the shots in a .zip to the TA:S team, with instructions on how to install them.

What does .info actually display?

Use the guide! (btw that part looks good now.. i let only an ugly thing at there)

edit: sorry the post was for the guy started the topic, but its there too! , that value is the cpu usage percentage, iirc.

[K.B.] Napalm Cobra · Post by **[K.B.] Napalm Cobra** » 16 Nov 2005, 01:55

So whats the percentage value then?

Maelstrom · Post by **Maelstrom** » 16 Nov 2005, 05:58

The values go
Name CPU Usage % Ping/Lag/Latency/whatever you call it.

Can't be, I've seen 100%+ at times.

and the second number is how many frames you are behind the host

Of course that can be.

>100% just means the forced slowdown kicks in until everybody can keep up with the gamespeed.

The CPU useage value can be tricked really easily by ping errors...

It was cool, in one battle on a metal map there were two other people logged in and I didn't know it.

at 1 point, my computer was giving it 1,127%
