How to take screenshots

Taking screenshots in Jedi Academy is fairly easy, but you'll need to access the command console to do so. To recap this tutorial, simply press the SHIFT and ~ keys on your keyboard while in the game, or if you're on OpenJK/EternalJK/JAEnhanced/MovieDuels/MBII, you can simply press the ~ key.

In the console, to take a screenshot, simply type screenshot

This will save a compressed JPEG file into your Jedi Academy/GameData/base/screenshots folder.
If you are using OpenJK with default settings, your screenshot might end up in C:/Users/you/Documents/My Games/OpenJK/screenshots

Binding the key
Obviously you aren't going to want to take screenshots with your console in the way, so the best practice is to bind the command to a key on your keyboard.

To recap this tutorial, in the console type bind end screenshot

Now your END key on your keyboard will take a screenshot. To use a different key, just put something else in place of end in the command, like o or backspace

In vanilla JKA and JK2, this command displays the success of the screenshot in the top left in the screenshot itself, which isn't ideal for 99% of use cases.
In OpenJK and all mods based on it, this is fixed.

To get around it in vanilla jamp or jasp, simply use the command screenshot silent and that will keep the message out of the display. Use that in the bind command as well like so: bind end screenshot silent

What about higher quality images?
You can do that too. By default you get a compressed JPEG, but with either of the below commands you can get uncompressed PNG or TGA screenshots.

screenshot_png

screenshot_tga

Keep in mind PNG is for OpenJK and newer mods only. If you are on vanilla jamp or jasp, TGA should work fine.

Naming the file
You can simply type anything after the command (other than silent) to name the filename whatever you want.
