My Silly HL2 Wallpaper

Nice screenshots. Water looks terrific.

Im actually thinking of turning on god mod, getting rid of my suit (if you can) and just noclipping to take nice screenshots. I'm sure there's a command to get rid of the suit, right? And the crosshairs?

And doesn't Valve include a HL2 font?

enable the console with the command line -console for hl2

in console type

sv_cheats 1

than type 'god' for godmode
'noclip 1' to move around quickly to where you want the screenshot
'cl_drawhud 0' removes the hud
and than 'impulse 200' to stop showing weapons
 
Thanks for the info.

Valve does include a HL2 font:

X:\...\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\ACCOUNTNAMEHERE\half-life 2\hl2\resource\halflife2.ttf

If you move that to your font directory, tpying out HALF-LIFE2 will net you the official Valve HL2 full title, properly spaced characters, complete with (R) after E. Just superscript the 2 and add any effects you wish with Photoshop.
 
Nice pic. I'm tempted to use it as a wallpaper, but I just found a nice scenery photo I really like. Damn.

Oh, and you can also type in notarget in the console to be invisible to the enemies, if that helps you take a screen shot in certain spots..
 
I actually took a shot of the credits, the very last part, where all you see is the white HL2 symbol ontop of all black. I'm using that right now on my desktop. It looks ok, but I'm sure it saves some power.
 
Cool. I never thought about how cool HL2 shots could be for desktop paper.. I might have to go back through the game and pick some out 🙂
 
Not silly at all. Looks gorgeous.

I have UT2k4 screenshots as my desktops, but that is even more beautiful.
