If you want to make your shots looks really good, change your renderscale (/renderscale #), and then resize the image to fit your monitor after the shot has been taken. The Default is /rendersacle 1.
/renderscale 2 will take a shot at double your screen's default dimensions, 3 will be 3 times.
Keep in mind, these are rectangular areas, so renderscale 3 is actually 9 times the total pixels.
You should not run renderscales much higher than 2 or 3, you WILL crash the game.
Most screenshots we take will be on a computer running at 1680x1050, and we'll take them at renderscale 2, and then resize afterwards. This gives a cleaner look to things, and provides a type of antialiasing.
So type in /renderscale 2 to get the better picture.
then /screenshot_jpg
To return it to normal again type in /renderscale 1

Works nicely! But is there a way to get the screen resolution back to the way it was before I started using /renderscale? Even setting 1 kinda slows my computer down.

DStahl uses a phone for it.

well that's what i get for trying to help him get a nice picture instead of garbage...
does /screenshot_png work?
Standard screenshots at 1920x1080 are far from garbage.

Nope. Wish it did. Not set up on this laptop to handle *.tga's.
Didn't we have a lengthy thread discussing this already? I'm very quickly running out of time. Hopefully someone will link to it.
LOL! I just got the impression that he was looking for a basic ability. I'll keep that renderscale trick in mind for later, myself.
/screenshot_ui_jpg
I find its easier to bind that , so type in /bind Rshift+Sysrq screenshot_ui_jpg
Thats right shift + printscreen (on my system)
Hmmmmmm???

Mind you, the freeware version will let you take videos too, but only short ones and there's a big fat watermark on them.

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out.
Thanks again!
