Could someone please tell me what file to edit and what strings to add so I can bind a key to take a screenshot and not have the HUD, Weapon, OR Crosshairs...

I would appreciate it a lot!

Thanks.
 
Toggle HUD display cl_drawhud [0 or 1]
Toggle HUD display cl_enablehud [0 or 1]

Got those off some site.. check those out.

As far as a bind.. I'd just do this in console... (this way you can decide with or without HUD)

bind F11 "cl_enablehud 0"
bind F12 "the screen shot command"

Then just hit F11 then F12.
 
Thanks for the help.
Someone else helped me with a bind and now it works, but saves them as 5.6 MB TGA files, which is fine.
 
I would write a script with those commands, and bind one button to do something like

Code: 
bind F12 exec screenshot.cfg

or whatever

Okay, I'll give the "exec screenshot.cfg" command a shot.
Thanks.
Click to expand...

You have to write the screenshot.cfg script and put it in the default folder for it to work.
 
Okay, I couldn't get it to work, obviously because I didn't know how to write the script.

I do have it taking screenshots without the HUD or Crosshairs or weapon though.
