a) Because /c doesn't care what you type after it. For all it cares you could just print "Hello world". And attempting to make it distinguish between "good" and "bad" commands would be about as easy sorting atoms into "green" and "red" groups. Just reload if you care.

b) Yes LuaPlayer.game_view_settings.

Doesn't your computer have built-in screenshot capabilities? For example, Windows 10 computers can take a screenshot of the window itself (not the borders, just the contents) when you press [Win] + [PrtSc].

Code: Select all

/screenshot false
This does what you want and is not a cheat.

The built-in screenshot capability can take larger-than-your-screen screenshots.

Snipping tool? Windows own tool, you select which part of the screen, easy to use.

If you are playing on steam, that also has a 'take screenshot' button (I think F12 is the default).
