picture taking without dials?

its a viic · 12-27-06, 12:47 PM

I was wondering if anyone knew how to take screenshots without the dials showing. I have taken some pretty cool screenshots in the last couple of patrols but its kind of annoying having the dials show. Also when I take screenshots and I look in my folder there are always 2 or 3 copies of each pic. What gives? I am holding down control then tapping f11 once.

you know the numbers on the right side of the keyboard ? (if its a stationary pc)

first. make sure that numlock is on
second. press the numpad-delete button

and there you go "clean" pictures

Thanks for the quick response. I guess I should hit number lock and delete after taking said picture right?

no you press it before you take the picture

Hit it before and use 'Ctrl' and 'F11' to actually take the picture...which will be stored in:
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIIIGWXv1

Yeah I understand about hitting Number lock then delete before I take the pic, but after taking screenshot if I want dials back I should hit delete again. Again thanks for the help.

Yup hit numlock to turn your num pad on (if not already) press del to remove dials, then take screenie, then press del again to bring your dials back up

Reece has adapted a mod for GW1.1a the slide the console out of the way all the time. To bring it back, all you do is drop the arrow down and it pops back up. This is especially nice for notebook PC's as it is hard to get the console to drop. I tried the mod on GWX and it works well.

Why not post a link to the download and that will enable others to make up their own minds.
