Okay I've had this problem for ages now but I only now decided to ask about it on the forums. Forgotten Enemies plays really bad on my computer which should easily be able to handle it. It freezes all the time, sometimes so bad that I can't get through a level even when saving it often. It has especially done this on the first mission after choosing to stay with the EDF, Two Minute Warning. Is there any way to fix this.
(BTW, I've tried reinstalling. Doesn't work. And as I said, my computer should easily be able to handle it.)

Most people will read this post and be thinking 'this guy's getting way too ahead of himself'. And those people would be right. But I have a nack for getting way too ahead off myself, and I thought, why stop now?
Anyway, the reason I'm getting into mapping, modelling and modding is so I can make this Alien War mod. The storyline will take place after the events of Forgotten Enemies. It will include two new races - the Scawn and the Olympians (yippee, the other side of the Cthonians!) I'll also be adding things to existing races, like the addition of Furies to both Scions and Hadeans, and the addition of Cerberizer Vats and Cerberized vehicles on the Cerberi build list.
But as I said earlier, I'm getting way too ahead of myself, and this mod won't be coming out for several years. I'm still in the early stages of learning how to mod, so you'll be waiting for a loooong time. I probably shouldn't have even made this announcement so soon, but I suddenly felt like it and thought 'why not?' And besides, those that are kindly instructing me in the art of BZII modding might as well know what I'm gonna do with the skills they teach me.
I would also like permission to use TheJamsh's Hadean Xaketh Bomber, with the Bomber Vat, as well as Steeveeo's ISDF (or, in the case of my mod, EDF) "Longbow" Artillery. Don't start giving me ODF's or XSI's for these things, since, for the fiftieth time, I'm still in the early stages of learning to mod and Alien War won't be coming for a very long time. I just want permission to use them.
Post any requests/suggestions for the mod here, and, yet again, please forgive me for getting so far ahead.

I think the font for the title of Battlezone 1 is sweet, and I wanted to get it for my computer. Would there be any possible way to download it, or download a very similar font?

this one concerning model-making. What program(s) can I use to make my own units for Battlezone 2? And where get I get them? I have found quite a bit of information but little of it is very straightforward on this subject. I hope people will forgive me for asking such pathetic questions.

Here are two questions I would like answered. They are both probably fairly dumb ones to be asking but I'm new to map editing and to Battlezone Universe, so I'm asking them anyway.
Q1: How do you make 3 commander+ maps? Is it as simple as placing three (or more) sets of spawn points?
Q2: Is there any possible way to get perfect circles on a very large scale (i.e. too large for the brush)? What about other shapes (triangles etc.)?

Okay, so I've completed a map (in terms of terrain, texture, water, paths, colour and object placement). Now I need someone to tell me how I go about placing spawn points and other things to get the map completely ready for play, or tell me where I can get such instructions. Can anyone do that for me?

Whenever I create a map using editor, then I set the path to a strategy (strategy02.dll) the next time I try to open it I get an ACCESS VIOLATION thing and the game closes on me. I have tried numerous solutions and none have worked. I understand that this may be something to do with spawn points or something else in the shift+F9 view, but so far I have found nothing anywhere that can help me with that.
