UE3 - UT3 Taking good screenshots

[guitarxe]

Err... this is not very relevant to mapping, but how do I take screenshots in-game without the hud?

Type togglescreenshotmode into console to hide HUD elements & weapon, then you can capture high-resolution screenshots by using command tiledshots, for example tiledshots 4.

Usually the - key reduces the amount of the HUD you have onscreen, just as the + brings it back in stages.

ToggleScreenShotMode is the better alternative. It hides the HUD (not by gradually turn off its components, but by turning it off entirely), the crosshair, the player's weapon and player beacons. (those billboards above other players' heads)
Using ToggleScreenShotMode a second time brings everything back.
That same command also works in UT2004, btw.

AFAIK it's tiledshot, not tiledshotS

Correct, it was a typo.

It usally does result black screen when pasting it into some application (it's because the way desktop under Vista/7 is drawn) so best method is to use tiledshot command.
