Anyone know how I take a screen shot of my map without the time, compass etc showing up?

Also my screens are always dark for some reason, how do I adjust that? I have tried the brightness settings in game but they are still dark screens.

Cheers!

Now I don't remember the console commands off the top of my head but try different ones that start with "hud_". As for the brightness, I seem to remember UO making "Print Screen" screenshots dark while the in-game "F 12" screenshots were better. If you're using the "Print Screen" key try using "F 12".

For me, screenshots using either "f12" or "prntscrn" both turn out dark. I just take the images into PaintShop Pro, and use Color, Adjust, Gamma, and then boost the gamma to about 1.5 for all three channels, save it as a new .jpg, and then the image looks normal.

For getting a clean screen shot look at the /com_ and the /cg_ commands in console. There are several to turn off things like hud items, your gun and hand models, etc...

You'll need to use these three commands in the console:

1. devmap [mapname] ... runs the map with cheats enabled.

2. cg_draw2d 0 ... disables all hud elements (note that you won't see your scope if you try to take a screen shot in scoped view).

3. cg_drawgun 0 ... removes the gun model.

Using these commands will allow you to take "clean" screen shots.

Thanks everyone!

All that info has helped a great deal!

I'll give it a shot :)

open your map in dev mode.

in console use:

noclip
cg_drawHUD 0

With the noclip function you can "fly" through your map. And the drawHUD 0 removes all the other objects on your screen.

When pressing F12 button you make the screenshot. they can be find inside the main -> screenshots folder.
