HI RESOLUTION SCREENSHOTS

HI GUYS, THERE ARE SOME NOTES ON HOW TO CAPTURE HI RESOLUTION SCREENSHOTS HERE: http://www.crymod.com/thread.php?threadid=35045&hilight=con+restricted+0+and+hud

BUT TO SUMMARIZE ...

FOR STILLS:
1. WHEN YOU ARE IN GAME (CTRL+G) HIT THE TILDE BUTTON (UPPER LEFT OF YOUR KEYBOARD, JUST UNDER ESCAPE).
2. IN THE CONSOLE WINDOW THAT OPENS, TYPE IN "con_restricted 0" (THAT'S A ZERO, AND DON'T INCLUDE THE QUOTATION MARKS ...).
3. THEN TYPE "e_screenshot 1" (AGAIN, WITHOUT THE QUOTATION MARKS) ... THIS WILL TAKE A SCREENSHOT IN *.TGA FORMAT @ 2000 x 1500 PIXELS. THE SCREENSHOT DOESN'T CAPTURE THE TEXT OR HUD, WHICH IS GREAT.
4. THE SCREENSHOT WILL BE IN YOUR ...Game\ScreenShots\HiRes FOLDER.

FOR CAPTURING ANIMATIONS:
1. WHEN YOU ARE IN GAME (CTRL+G) HIT THE TILDE BUTTON (UPPER LEFT OF YOUR KEYBOARD, JUST UNDER ESCAPE).
2. IN THE CONSOLE WINDOW THAT OPENS TYPE IN "con_restricted 0" (WITHOUT THE QUOTATION MARKS). IF YOU TYPED THIS IN EARLIER, YOU WON'T HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN.
3. TYPE "cl_hud 0" (NO QUOTE MARKS), THIS WILL REMOVE THE HUD ELEMENTS SO YOU'LL GET CLEAN VIDEO CAPTURES.
