Making screenshots

I thought it would be nice to share screenshots with eachother. You can make screenshots ingame by pressing the F5 button. I noticed on my laptop that the F5 button also has a specific Dell function so you have to press Fn key + F5 to make a screenshot. The screenshots you make are stored in this path: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\yoursteamusername\team fortress 2\tf\screenshots.

Unfortunately the screenshots you make are default stored in .tga format which makes them to large to upload to the forum. You can make screenshots in .jpg format by following this instruction.

By the way i would advise manually editing your key bindings. Open you config.cfg file here: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\yoursteamusername\team fortress 2\tf\cfg

Open the file with Wordpad and replace bind "F5" "screenshot" with bind "F5" "jpeg"

Looking forward to your screenshots!
