First, using the cheat in just stupid.
Secondly, it's easy to get a pic. Do this....
- keep in mind that at a certain height, you will leave the sky box and be reset into the map. You will have to work at it to get the max height, and in some maps you won't get a perfect overhead. You can, however, take a long-high-angle shot, if that will work for you.
- open the pk3 with the map files in it..find the .scr file for that map
- open the .scr file in notepad or whatever
- find the line that has the farplane distance noted, it various by map. I think the omaha one is like 3000 or 3300 or something like that. It will be in the top section of the .scr after "main" and possibly after 'prespawn'.
- edit that number, say if it is 3000, make it 33,000, then resave the .scr file and repack.
- after you get your pics, go back and reset the farplane. A little work but it is worth it. Ok, pain in the ass, but it will work that way if you choose to try it.
