BMC Software PATROL Format | BMC | Misc Files |
The CTG file extension is primarily associated with the BMC Software PATROL application. The CTG file format is a video game file type used by Blizzard Entertainment in its games such as StarCraft and Warcraft II. It contains campaign storyline files which act as a parse tree for events such as missions, dialogs, triggers, and so on. The format is similar to the MPQ (MoPaQ) archives used by Blizzard Entertainment for their popular titles.
Technical Details
PATROL CTG files are created with the PATROL software application, which is used to monitor and manage computer applications and networks. They store information in a text-based format composed of different statements. Each statement contains one or more parameters, including the name of a parameter, its value, and other related settings. Some of the possible statements that can be found inside a PATROL CTG file are "parameter accountname", "privilege username", "alarmlevel kvalue", "timeout hvalue", and many more. Common programs used to open a PATROL CTG file include Blizzard Entertainment Games, Microsoft Notepad, and TextEdit. Similar file formats include the MBL, MEL, and GEL extensions used by OEM Factory Automation.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CTG) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CTG extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CTG file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CTG extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CTG extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CTG file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CTG file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CTG file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CTG file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CTG file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
