Should I make a screenshot thread?

[LEGION]

Very cool indeed, ocn!

bind F12 sreenshot <width> <height>

 

I tried to take high resolution screenshots, but it does not work. The images have the specified size indeed, but the renderview is still cropped to screen resolution. Does it work when fullscreen?

The renderview (if I am understanding you correctly) is limited only to the resolution of your screen. If you increase your in-game resolution past your screen resolution, you will only see a portion of the game, which would be the top-left corner.

 

For example in this image:

 

 

If your monitor runs at 1600x1200, but you want to play at 1920x1200 or higher, you would only see the top left side of the game. That is why you can take screenshots at higher res than your monitor can support.

No, I have another problem. I play TDM at 800x600 fullscreen but want to take high-res screenshot. I have added bind "F11" "screenshot 3840 2400" to cfg. The resulting screenshot images are indeed 3840 x 2400 but only a small part of them (left-bottom corner) is rendered. The rest of screenshot is black. Do I miss anything?

 

EDIT: Does this way of taking screenshots require resolution support by the monitor? Does Doom3 changes resolution, takes screenshot, changes it back? Or Doom3 just sets buffer for the specified resolution and renders it without messing with monitor?

Oh I see, Doom 3 may not like that resolution. Try something more standard like 2048x1536, or 1920x1200. That is a 16:10 ratio, but it may be too high. I`ve never gone above 3000, so I can`t say for sure.

Also what`s your setup?

Why do you need that big of a screeny anyway? Most people don't even have 1920x1200 res, and even that can't be viewed full screen unless it's set as a desktop.

It screws up for me too. Try turning off Bloom and HDR and see if that helps.

Is the area of the screenshot that's rendered, a square? Could be something with the lightgem render... mmm

This is what I get when trying that command:

 

[Serpentine]

Whoa, that's ehhh... strange :/

 

Tho it does look like one of the tiles has some area about the size of the lg chopped off.

 

I'll take a look and see what it does my side, play with some cvars. But only when it cools down, been 36 C for two days and my head feels like death :(

36 C

 

Oh how I wish that were here...
