Setting Up
Check out this guide to learn some helpful console commands; mess around and get comfortable with them before beginning your photo op adventures.

Getting Started
Setup a solo game and choose whatever length and map you like. I recommend you choose Hell on Earth difficulty to unlock the advanced moves for the Zeds.

When you reach the lobby, open up the console (tilde ` key or F3) and EnableCheats.

Most commands will not work without cheats enabled, so if a certain command is not working, make sure you put cheats on! This will also disable perk progression. Cheats will remain enabled until another map is loaded.


Begin the first wave and proceed to clear out all the Zeds, but before doing so, enter the console and input Ghost, then find a suitable, out of reach place (if you please) to spawn a dummy so it can prevent the first wave from ending with this command:
SpawnZed ClotU

Remove Corpses and Blood
After you're done clearing them out, you can use these commands to clear out unwanted bodies and blood:
ClearCorpses ClearSplatters
Entering Photography Mode and Configuration
After the above steps are finished, you can now get into making photos.

Enter ToggleScreenShotMode into the console.
Your HUD, arms, and weapons will now be removed from view!






More Commands
ToggleHUD/ShowHud - Both commands do the same thing; toggles the HUD on or off.
ShowHands x - Shows/Hides your weapon and arms from view depending on your 'X' value. Since this is a boolean, it'll accept only 1 or 0 (1=True, 0=False).
ToggleDoF - Adds a bit of DoF to your weapon. No longer works.

FOV X - Zooms the camera in or out depending on your 'X' value. Integral to all of your photos! Sprinting will reset the FOV.
Update: Since the latest Summer 2018 update (v1067), the FOV command no longer works.
i.e. FOV 90


WeapFoV X - Zooms your arms and weapons in or out depending on your 'X' value. Has to be set for each individual weapon. Aiming down the sights will reset the FOV.
i.e. WeapFoV 90



Keybinds
Killing Floor 2 also has some default keybindings that will edit the timescale of the game and camera view.
F4 Pauses everything but you (some shadows will disappear with this on, sadly). Left Bracket Enables permanent slow-mo, without the white. Right Bracket Reverts the timescale to normal. Backslash Speeds up the game. Delete, PgDn Thirdperson view End Firstperson view Insert Wide Thirdperson view PgUp Static camera (Use this to take pictures of your loadout!) Home Very close thirdperson

Custom Keybinds
If you want to create your own keybindings, use this as a base:
setbind yourKey yourCommand ex. setbind f1 enablecheats
Setting up multiple commands to one binding:
setbind yourKey "yourCommand|yourCommand" ex. setbind F2 "doshme 999999|opentradermenu" longer ex. setbind N "tossmoney|tossmoney|tossmoney|suicide"
The quotations are required for commands that include spaces. You can put in as much commands as you want to, but long strings may not work properly.

Refer to this manual to find the names of all bindable keys.[wiki.unrealengine.com]
Orchestrating Your Photos
Spawning in Your Zeds
To place Zeds into your photos, instead of using the SpawnZed, use SpawnDebugAI. The difference between the two is that SpawnDebugAI creates a character in front of you that has working AI and is controllable by the console.

The name for spawning each Zed should match their real name for the most part, but the Clots have varying names:
SpawnDebugAI ClotU Spawns the Cyst (Underdeveloped Clot) SpawnDebugAI ClotS Spawns the Slasher SpawnDebugAI ClotA Spawns the normal Clot (Alpha Clot)
The rest of the Zed names are pretty straight forward.

Commanding Your Zeds
Begin by typing AI into the console and a list will appear (the F3 console will allow you to scroll through this list with the arrow keys).
Using these commands, any DebugAI Zed can be told to wander, look at you, become enraged, or do some other Zed specific action, like forcing a Husk to explode and etc.
Create!
You now know the basics of how to properly take photos in Killing Floor, now go make some!

The weapons/hands are not animated for more than weapFoV 110%, if you enter 120% almost all weapons have one or more animations that show missing textures and ungly and strange hand movements. It's obvious that the game was not programmed for having weapfov changes.

Can you elaborate on the command spawndebugai? Spawning anything utilizing that causes the ZED to die and respawn in different places. Using any other ai commands does absolutely nothing, even if aiming at the ZED. ToggleZedsIgnoreMe doesn't seeem to fix it either. Also, is there anyway to choose which character to spawn when using the command spawnhumanpawn? Thanks.

nobody talks about the film possibilities this commands have, and i think that this is way better form of creativity, considering that all the game is at 200fps and the detail is perfect to create stories and tributes.

i made this two, bullets tribute and zerk tribute. It takes way more time to make something like this than taking a screenshot but worth the effort.

I wish they would make weapFOV setting, I hate not being able to change it with out cheats and it reseting after looking down the sight.
