Now obviously not everything there needs to be executed at every start of the game (after it was binded once), but I like to keep the code there for transparency of what changes i did. Every command here will be executed right after the game starts. Locate the autoexec.cfg file and open it with a (plain) text editor.

Where the former disables HUD and the names, the latter hides the weapon list, while it remains still active. So what you probably want to do is a combination of the following commands: This will disable HUD and the names over characters as well, but also disables the weapon list in the fashion you won't be able to switch between weapons. To get rid of everything that is in the way of a good screenshot, do as follows: Console_commands - here is not everything though), I will point out here some that are particularly useful for our needs (taking awesome screenshots :P). Since you can google the list of all commands quite easily (even with descriptions, e.g.
Developer console in this game allows you to do pretty much ANYTHING. Here is also listed current and a default value, if there is one.
Most commands also have a brief description, which is shown after typing the command without parameters. You can browse those options by pressing down or up arrows. "map") and hit space, it will show you options for that command. The console has a auto-matching function, so when you start typing anything, it will search for commands that match what you typed. Where "c" stands for a campaign and "m" for a map from the campaign. So create a LAN game by typing in your console (default the "`" key or "~" if you like - under the ESC): That's why you can have cheats enabled only in your LAN games (in single player mode the server is your computer), or on your own dedicated server you can manage. To do this, you must be hosting the game (listenserver). If you want to enable all the cool console commands I talk about here in your game, you need to enable "cheating". I made this guide primarily for L4D2 however, since all maps from L4D can be played now as DLCs for L4D2.īut still, if you want to make some good old fashioned screenshots from L4D, be my guest :>įirst of all, enable developer console from the options in the game (or see the Binds section). This is a common thread for both L4D games, because they use the same engine, hence the console commands are the same too.
