Author Topic: Taking Screen Shots... and video?

Hello,

I was searching through different folders at like 5 am and stumbled across a folder that had a "screen shots" and a "video" folder. There wasn't anything in the video folder, but there were 3 screen shots in the screen shots folder... I think these are ones I created somehow, but I'm not sure.

If that is in fact true, how do I go about taking screen shots in-game? (Through the console preferably since I am running XP on a iMac partition... and the keyboard does not have a "print screen" button unfortunately)
And video???

Thanks!

k for macs idk if the keys would be different but u can take screenshots and videos in your game. Simply go into ur "controls" options and assign a key to take screenshots. As for the video folder that one should contain all the videos that are used in the sp missions. they end with the file extension of .bik you would have to use another program to record ur gameplay, or if you just want to send a demo of ur gameplay to others u can record ur gameplay using console typing "/record filenamehere" the filenamehere would be the name u want to give that video.

EX: /record pwning

to stop the video recording type in console "/stoprecord" and then u will find ur file inside the "demos" folders in your "main" folder of ur cod4 directory. hope that helps.

Cool. Thanks, voidsource. I'll have to check this out when I get home. I mostly want the video to record a walk through of my level to show a couple of my friends and possibly put in a portfolio someday.

Here's another question for you. Is there a console command to hide the gun image in-game. (r_drawXModels 0 maybe?) I want to take a pic of my level to use as the level loadscreen.

the assigned key for screenshot calls the function screenshotJPEG

manual screenshot: drop console, type "screenshotJPEG" (or just "screenshot" for TGA) without the quote marks and hit enter

keep in mind, that the console itself will be on the screenshot

so define a key for sshots is a better solution

- record a demo (record and stoprecord)
- replay demo (demo dm_000x), you may turn turn overall timescale of the game to improve "smoothness" of the final video (gives your machine more time for recording the demo, but will last longer of course)
- use any screen recording software like fraps, xfire video etc.
- you may need to convert it to AVI uncompressed before a conversion to XviD etc. or it might mess up the colors
- use Audacity to make audio sync (time streching work wonders!)
- virtualdub mod is a great software for editing and converting AVI videos

coo cool, thanks guys!

But now theres more... I want to completely clear the screen. And after quite a bit of time searching through the cmd list, I could only find the "/ammocounterhide 1" and "/cg_drawcrosshair 0". Now I just need to know the command to hide the mini-map, the score HUD, and the nightvision/claymores HUD.

Basically, is there a way to run my map in hardcore mode so there is no HUD? (and no mini-map?)

i think that if you run the map in devmap you might be able to get away with everything u wish for. I dont know the exact commands but for my pc i enable /develoer 1 /developer_script 1 and /devmap mp_mapname and when it loads i press the no.9 on my number pad(the one on the right side of the keyboard) and eveyrthing dissappears off my screen so its just the character.....but thats just on my pc try it on yours and see wats up.

void: keybinding and cfg behind?

\cg_draw2d 0 removes all hud elements

\cg_drawgun 0 hides the gun

\cg_drawfps 0 hides framerate


other usefull dvars:

fx_enable
r_fog
r_highLodDist - turns of lods
r_znear - reduces z-fighting
r_lodscale
cg_drawversion
sm_enable - set to 1

have a look at raw\maps\mp\gametypes\_dev.gsc, line 352 ff.

Okay, got it working! Thanks!

/cg_draw2d 0
/cg_drawgun 0

Those two did it. I had previously tried draw2d and was unsuccessful, but that's because I was trying it in the compiler run map... don't know why it's so picky. From now on I'm always just going to test my map through "customMaps" instead.
