"print screen" is a button on your keyboard which stores the current screen in your "ctrl+v"
its next to pause and the button that sez "rollen" (at least on a german keyboard)

rollen = scroll lock on most non german keyboards

Actually i just tried again, i made sure it was the correct file type that being .bmp!!! and i loaded it using the friggen idiots guide under the mapping section EVERY TIME I DO IT IT SHOWS EVERY SINGLE texture and it doesnt include the one i imported i'm wondering if its a 2k4 bug, a personal bug, due to our install, or if i'm doing something wrong ITS SO STUPID!! omg i followed everything and still nothing works right, pleaaaaase davidM tell me u know what to do... and :\ if not can i send my level and radar to u to put together? thank you.

its pretty early in the morning in germany, so wait a few hours and let him answer

you can also ask people on irc, NA community is on irc.gamesurge.net #dbpug (quiet, but sometimes people answer you) or the Euro community is on irc.quakenet.org #dbpickup

or you can open an existing map and see how they did it, or something.

man, use dds, bitmaps are the worst possible format in terms of size, and bmp has no alpha!

just read the tutorial, it's all in there! the whole save, import etc process.....
