How to get a Screenie?

Uber_Saber · 03-21-2002, 09:24 PM

How do I get a screenie in a Q3 game? I'm planning on getting it Sat. and would like post a screenie to prove it and set the rest of you salivating. Please respond.

Thank you.

Well, there may be an option to set a keybind for it, OR, press print screen, minimize, open paint, Ctrl-v, and you're done.

I think the default key is F11, at least thats the one for RTCW. The screenshot is a .tga file though and usually pretty large. Once you take the screenshot you're better off converting it to a jpg, that would lower the size quite a bit and help with loading it in the forums.

I seem to remember RTcW as being F12. I could be wrong, however. *shrug*

havent you been reading the forums , necro?
its coming out between today and 25th here in australia.

Just checked the RTCW key for screenshots is F11, and any date for australia has yet to be proven. So, your dates are as good as his...when sat. rolls around we'll see if his is true, and the same for yours on monday.

I'm pretty sure it defaults to F11 ...
if not, bring down the console with the "~" key and type:
/bind f11 screenshot

there ya have it
