Taking Screenshots using the ingame Camera

[arramus]

For SWRC we always assumed we could only get one screenshot using the Print Screen Function. This has been a real pain in the past with screenshots getting lost, Fraps slowing down the system or Xfire allowing people to gain access to your server during competition even on LAN.

Here's a solution that is simple and something we overlooked simply because the default was a set Windows function that would over ride the game function. A bit of an error on the developers side but not to worry.

When you are in SWRC go to your Options > Controls > Next Screen and set your screenshots key to F8 (or something else that's not being used). If you use the default SysRq-Print Screen key it will only allow one shot and not save it as the developers may have intended.

When you hit F8 key you will notice a slight pause as a picture is taken. This picture will be stored here as a bmp image.

You can take unlimited pictures this way and they'll be named 00000 > 00001 > 00002 etc.

Also to get rid of the HUD just type HUD in the console. To renable it type HUD and then a #...like 1, 2, etc.

ya but the downfall is that your system folder for RC only holds 80 screenshots so you need to clean it up a lot.
