I'm sure this has been said before, but you should make it (if possible) that either in this mod or another mod that Manhacks record videos while they're active. I think it'd be really cool :3

Thanks for making this!

Yeah,I saw your comments about unable to hide the flash I was not asking about that, I am pretty sure adjustable delay before the capture will reduce the amount of produced images with solid white color. It's still going to fade out eventually, is it not? It's capturing it's own flash in 8 out of 10 shots.

Vuthakral [author] 5 Jul @ 5:08am

As said countless times here in the comments, this is due to the white flash on the screen of the scanner drawing in all render contexts. This is a shared material used for many effects and for that reason I can't just simply hide it, and it's long fadeout from scanners means a delay isn't feasible.

Doom Slayer 5 Jul @ 12:10am

Great idea, but most of the captures are white image for me. Maybe you can try to add another convar with adjustable delay between the flash and a capture? Or exposure setting.

Vuthakral [author] 1 Jul @ 6:36pm

Sadly not doable without breaking other effects as well

goofy goober 1 Jul @ 5:45pm

would love for someone to make a mod that disables that stupid fucking scanner flash

Vuthakral [author] 26 Jun @ 4:05pm

Just trying to figure out what could be an issue since I can't reproduce it, are there any lua errors at all or anything when the session loads or initializes?

Serial_Designation_M 26 Jun @ 6:58am

yes

Vuthakral [author] 25 Jun @ 7:27pm

is the addon enabled

Serial_Designation_M 25 Jun @ 6:02pm

i can't use the cl_scannerphotos_enabled command it doesn't recognize it

Vuthakral [author] 18 Jun @ 5:32am

Sadly an engine issue that I can't fix. The white flash is drawn even in separate render contexts. Some others like the red screen on taking damage also have this issue.

CatFridge 16 Jun @ 3:43pm

Every time it takes a picture of me, the flash that appears from player view covers the entire screenshot. How can I fix this?

Waks4f 16 Jun @ 1:39pm

this is completely useless, perfect for my modpack.

Bob 13 Jun @ 5:59am

will you make this addon for cameras?

Dorotpole 11 Jun @ 12:38pm

samdsx__12 28 May @ 6:27pm

question what is the map your using in the thumbnail? just asking

Vuthakral [author] 28 May @ 6:20pm

The only way to disable it is to override a material which will break white-screen effects globally, including transitional fades and hit indicators. The real issue is that this effect renders even in separate render contexts when it really shouldn't be.

NofNe 28 May @ 6:11pm

Is there a mod that disables you from getting flashed?
