ok, i know you can go into free camera mode and look around the battlefeild and i know there is something in FC that says screenshot or something, but ive never been able to get it to work. (the FC part) do you have to use an actual camera to take the screenies? or is it something else on your computer?

Camera shot is something different. It spits out coordinates that you put in your lua. Those coordinates tell the camera where to point when you're at the spawn screen.

ok, but what if i needed screenies for a released map or something, is there a way that everyone uses that i dont know about to get those quality pics?

press the "printscreen"-button for like a second and battlefront will save the curtrent frame as .tg in the gamedate\screenshots folder

ok thank you DUCK, now i can submit screenies when im ready with a worthy map in several hundred years.

or you can take screenshots with xfire (and videos too) if you have it

hmm, i do have Xfire but i have never taken the time to use it or figure it out. i guess i probobly should.


EDIT
AGHHHH I AM BEGINNING TO HATE NEWER COMPUTERS
I dont have the scroll lock key!?!?!?!?!
aghh i have to use the prntscrn function on the computer and i dont think i can get a quality photo with that.

Double posting is against the RULES, please EDIT your post instead -Staff

What does the scroll lock key matter for? prntscrn takes it at the same resolution as you see it, so it should be fine for you, especially if its on a new computer with a reasonably sized screen.

Another question about this - I have a mac laptop with bootcamp setup to run windows xp, and it doesn't have the prntscrn button and i never use xfire. Does anyone know of any applications for taking a screen dump or equivalent of prntscrn?

you don't need to use the scroll lock combo to take pictures with xfire - just go to settings, ingame, and then key combinations and make it whatever you want.

for me, screen shot is ctrl+s, and video is ctrl+v

i have a ? how in free camera do i change my elavation?

Home and End keys.

ok thx i think this will increase the qualtie of my screen shots

yah ive been wondering that for awhile now too, thanks kinetosimpetus
oh and srry about the above double post, i forgot to edit.
