Post by: ufa on February 01, 2007, 07:44:17 AM
Hello
Is there a screenshot shortcut?
And about movies? How do you capture the game?

By default the screenshot button is F11, however this can be changed by typing "/bind x screenshot"

The x can be replaced by any other button you want.

To record movies its usually best to create a demo first then find some screen capturing software to record it.

/video <filename>
Starts (if playing a demo) a video capture with <filename> as output.

/stopvideo
Stops the video capture.

fraps always stick advertising in the video at the top. It also phones home and it is not cross-platform.
