how do take 3rd person POV screens?

[Nefarious]

I have seen other players with screenshots of themselves ingame from a 3rd person point of view.how do i do that?

F6 switches bettween 1st person and 3rd person, use the prtscrn buton to take pics, and paste them into paint.

And before you make an ass of yourself, use Imageshack or Photobucket to post them here- it saves bandwith and Janus doesn't get pissy. It's always a good thing to be friendly with an Administrator.

 

[Nefarious]

what i mean to ask is how they take pictures from angles besides directly behind themselves and you can see their whole body

Hold the key left of number 1 and exclamation mark, then move the camera to where you want it using the mouse.

Hmmm.. Was there ever any mention of a button that will take a screen shot and save it, instead of tabbing out of M&B and copying and pasting into paint?

You can download programs that will do that; I think MXgrab is one, although I am not certain of that name.

I present to you the best and easiest way: Screen Capture Professional 1.2 -Free

Also don't forget the edit mode (enable at config from launcher/ctrl-e ingame), for a free-camera. If you are in a town or a scene you can delete the entry points to have a clean shot, just don't forget to NOT to save when you are done.

what happens if u save?

Then the scene will be screwed. Without the entry points, npcs will not spawn properly, and most likely won't even show up. The npcs are guided to entry points in the scene. If you open up module_troops.py in the module system you will know what I mean. Also, you, the player won't spawn where you are supposed to.

Pressing H twice hides all the entry points, no need to delete them.
