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! edited on Nov. 4, 2007 10:11 am by weasel

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.

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. :)
