Hey every one. As part of my computer programming course, I have visual studio .net so I opened up game.con and it had a line for controls for a "supascreenshot" I kid you not. The line was ctrl+alt+F12 takes a supascreenshot. I tried this in game and it zoomed in really far and was panning around and I was unable to control it. This doesnt ruin the game in any way as i was able to close and reopen the game and it worked fine. My problem is that i am running it on integrated graphics (go ahead and laugh) and it pretty much froze up on me. I restarted my computer and checked the screenshot area and there was one half rendered screenshot. I couldnt tell if it was any better than the others. The reason for posting was to get some of you guys (and girls) with higher end graphics cards to try this and post the pics. This is just a test and i thought it wouldnt be good for under the screenshot threads. Just take the screenshot the way you usually would except this time, use ctrl+alt+F12. It goes in your screenshot folder in "My Documents".
Thanks to all who participate

Lol that's cool, it took a 27 MB JPG! I guess that would be a good way to capture your favorite victory in high def if you wanted to make a poster or something. Good find

I knew it since the Preview Build.

On the preview, the screenshot was 1000x your resolution.

@Elpea, do you know what the purpose of this is and why it is hidden?

All the shortcuts are hidden. Unless there's a readme i didn't read.

I don't think there's much purpose to it but to take higher resolution screenshots for marketing.

Heres a supascreenie, it might take a while to load for you 56k'ers its a few mb.

Please exuse the close up resolution, I turned most of my graphics down to save on the MBs. Its just a demonstration picture.

How'd you disable the UI for the right side?

And actually, I think the right side looks better.

Apparently, Bloom doesn't work (correctly/at all?) in SupaScreenshot Mode.

How to disable UI in Screenshots: Just add +screenshotHideUI to your user.cfg.

posted 09-17-05 09:22 AM EDT (US)     18 / 29  
Aah, nice. I'm tryig to add an option to hide the UI when you press ctrl + down for my UI, and restore it when you press ctrl + up, so you have the option in-game of taking a screenshot with the UI on or off.
