This guide will explain how to take HUD-less screenshots on GoldSrc-based games/mods.
For all common games, you can just type map [mapname] in the console (as long as you have never previously opened another map). You will appear as if you were in Half-Life, without weapons and without HUD. Then you can just use sv_cheats 1 along with noclip (this sometimes requires you to restart the map) to freely navigate the map. On multiplayer mods, don't use the same command if you're going to change to another map or else it will start being a listen server. Use changelevel [mapname] instead.
Use also crosshair 0 to remove crosshair drawing in case it's there and r_drawviewmodel 0 to hide first-person models.
Counter-Strike
If for some reason you don't want to use the common steps above, this game already has this command called hud_hide 0 which allows you to hide the HUD (doesn't work on spectator), but the only way to use noclip on a server is by using AMX Mod X along with this plugin.
HL Rally
Unfortunately this mod doesn't have a free-look spectator mode and doing noclip with sv_cheats feels broken as this mod doesn't have vertical mouse movement.
The only way to take HUD-less screenshots on this mod is copying all the maps files to Half-Life (on the valve_addons folder) and launching them from there with the common commands listed at the beginning of this article.
Sven Co-op
The map command doesn't work here as it will load a listen server instead.
For 3.0 and below, unfortunately there's not a way to hide the HUD.
For 4.0 and 5.0, you can use sv_cheats 2 and cl_noclip 1 along with cl_notarget 1 (to avoid monsters attacking you). Consider also adjusting the default_fov to something similar to Half-Life's default one.
