Ok, “cg_draw2d 0” lets the HUD disappear, but what do I need to get rid of the cross hair completely?
Disable crosshair for screenshots
cg_drawcrosshair 0 is changing your crosshair to a hidden (?) one. to completly get rid of it, you have to go to the options, view and change crosshair alpha (just move bar to the left).
you are welcome! :lol:
Actually it’s the other way around: cg_drawcrosshair 0 removes the crosshair completely (sets it to a blank type) and setting the alpha value to the left simply hides it (makes it 100% transparent)…
Bind this to a key (I use letter O) and it will toggle everything off for a screenshot, press it again to turn things back on - you will have to bind another key to turn your crosshair back on though.
bind o "toggle cg_draw2d;toggle cg_drawgun;cg_drawcrosshair -1" // toggle all hud items
For clean screenshots:
cg_draw2d 0 (1 = on)
cg_drawgun 0 (1 = on)
cg_drawcrosshair -1 (5 = dot I think)
To show the player in the screenshot:
Cheat protected, load your map before with: devmap mapname
cg_thirdperson 1 (0 = off)
cg_thirdpersonangle 0 to 360
cg_thirdpersonrange check out what fits best
To set it back to the standard values, just type the cvar without value in the console and ET tells you the original value.
Happy photoshooting!
