Post by: foolfromhell on September 01, 2007, 10:37:06 am
Like, without target boxes showing up on the screenshot?

I want to make a wallpaper.

Cutscenes, deactivate your HUD...there are many options :)

Shift - O will work, or Al-Pause, then press Tab.

Sorry for being a noob, but will shift-o take a screenshot on the OSX version? And where does it put the shots?

Shift-O turns off the hud. You still need to use Print Screen to take the screenie. It dumps it either in the root FS directory, or in data somewhere - data\screens I think.

Thanks. I finally found them - on a mac it puts them in ~/Library/FS2_Open/Screenshots.

The best method is to hit alt-pause, then tab, then press printscr to take the shot.

Other than that, I spend a lot of time doing the above, but after hitting '.' on the numerical pad so you can then screw with the camera angles and zoom.
