So, you want to take screenshots, huh? To take prize-winning photographs, the budding photographer needs more than just bind screenshot in his or her bag of tricks. Listed below are three commands that will ensure the amateur’s photography meets with universal approval. cg_draw2d ! - removes the Heads Up Display (HUD) graphics as well as the leader icon and the scoreboard. cg_drawgun ! - removes weapons from first person view. cl_noprint ! - removes all chat display from other players and game messages from the screen. Only use these commands with the “!” value when you are binding them to keys. (see Notes about console commands with 0 and 1 values listed at beginning of document) Once you have bound these commands you’re ready to begin! Remove the HUD and other game graphics. Then, switch to first person view and remove the gun. You now have a completely clear from which to compose your masterpieces! Once you’ve lined up your subject, press the key bound to the cl_noprint ! command to eliminate the chance of annoying chat appearing in your final shot. Congratulations! You have taken your first Jedi Knight 2 or JA screenshot! Another method to get exciting, memorable screenshots is to enter spectator mode. Once in spectator mode, press your cl_noprint ! and cg_draw2d ! button to remove the text from the screen. You can now move around freely, floating to previously unreachable heights to gain astounding screenshots, which will wow your friends and impress the opposite sex. |

Another nice thing to use is cg_thirdpersoncameradamp 0 (standard 0.3) This will cause the camera to remain at it's current position and work as a tracking cam on the player... can be used for great scenery shots. Combine with the methods mentioned above. _______________ I love meh TaunTaun! She's called DeeDee. Who touches her gets shot by the PewPew

I just wanna say that I can't take any credit for this section. I don't recall exactly who did this. It was either Sared, underhill or SirBizNatch, I think, I honestly don't remember. _______________ Midbie Council Member #2 - Profile ID 2073 | Member of B@rtM@ulS@ar | Owner of Monty's 2000th comment & D@RtHM@UL's 8100th comment | Former Padawan of SilkMonkey & Arcuss JA Goaltender & NHL Fan | Fellow Rush fan to Axion|Plo Koon is my oldest JA friend Post your RL pics HERE! | Post you JK2/JK3 screenies HERE! |
