You don't hit print svreen. It's in the clipboard.

For example;

You are playing, or viewing the advances whatever. You press ALT+[PRT SCRN]

Now the screen is in the clipboard. Exit the game and load your graphics program. If you don't have one use MS Paint.

After the program opens go up and click on [EDIT] then click on paste.

You will see a message box telling you "The image in the clipboard is larger than the bitmap. Would you like the bitmap enlarged?" Click [YES]

Now your screenshot is in paint and you can save it. It would help to use a better program so you can modify the image. However the simple goal is get into a file. Then at least you have it saved somewhere and can work with it later.

I like PaintShop Pro 7.0, it's about 99$ on the web but you can find it cheaper sometimes in a store. On sale or whatever. It even comes with an Animation Shop. Good for viewing AVI files. You can even save the frame from the AVI as a TGA file to use in call to power.

Does anyone have the empty backgrounds that CTP uses for the advances, or at least know where someone might have them on a website?

Hi!

You can read in the CTP2-Help (in German it is called "Lexikothek") that a destroyer can bombard troops and aircrafts and the frigate can bombard cities at the coast.

But my ships are not able to bombard this units or cities. Only my battleship can bombard cities.

Does anyone know why?

I assume you mean ironclads (there are no more frigates in CTP2), though it may be in the translation. They are not meant to bombard land. The default is to require at least a battleship to bombard land. To make the game more realistic, you can edit the Ship-Of-The-Line and the Ironclad to bombard cities and units as in real life, they could and did.

Go into your Ctp2/ctp2_data/default/gamedata/units.txt file and add in the line: CanBombard: Land to the end of the ship-of-the-line and ironclad entries.

It wouldn't be hard to make the clients download the map from the server on game-start...
I mean, almost every other game works that game when playing online...
