Okay,finally i got it.
Thank you all for helping me again^^

Yeah,finaly it works without crashing.But,if i want to open a map,he minimizes to give me the chance to choose a map,first the file type is .SAV,i've got to change it to all files to see map files,but he doesn't want to open them.Nothing seems to happen.Futhermore i've got to copy the map i want to edit somewhere else,because if i launch the editor,or FE,the folder missions in FEaddon is emtpy.
Sry for being so dumb concerning the editor...anyway,thanks to all of you for your guidance.

Edit: But what should i save?I mean, i can't open a new map,or an existing one.Just the ones i've got in Instant mode,and that's not what i want.

But how do i edit in 1.2?
If i update a fresh isntall of BZ2 to 1.2 there isn't a editor arround

Nice,works with
"C:\Battlezone 2\BZ2Edit.exe" /config FEbzone.cfg
but,i receive an error...,i'll re-install it,let's see if it works

Edit:Didn't work.Here is the error:

Internal exception - see battlezone.log file for more info

After this window,i get a runtime-error

and that's the log file:

I'm using TA5,but if i want to add /config febzone.cfg to the path,i get an error.Damn,i just want this editor to wark...

Alright,got it....just one problem.The editor  (the one from you Zero Angel) isnt able to open up FE maps...someone got a clue how to modify them?

It's not there.Do i have to install bz2,then a patch,for example 1.3 pba3/4 and then ta5?
I've installed bz2 and ta5 multiple times,but it didn't have the editor.

Thx for ya Editor,but it won't work.If i locate the bz.exe i just get the error sound,nothing happens.Moreover i haven't got a bzedit.exe,that's why i'm wondering where the editor in ta5 is,or why yours won't work.

Hey guys,
where the heck is the Editor for bz2 located?
I've got ta5 and Fe installed and want to know how i can edit the FE maps,but i hadn't found any hint for the editor.Tried search,but nothing which would help me.
Hope you got an idea.
So far Shephren

Well...means exacly what?I can change it/cannot change it?
If i can,how do i change it?I know odf's,but not how to modify something related to DDL

Hey folks,
don't know if Maps and Mods is the right direction,but could be.
My question is,is it possible to change the color of a player in an MP-game,for example strategy maps,first player is alway pink.
Is there something in the config or perhaps somwhere else,which is responsible for the color of a player?

Added the .odf to both,ibfact_cheap and ibrecy_cheap...doesn't work.What was that about the ISDF weapon crates?Someone knows a bit more about that?

I haven't found ISDF weapon crates in the patch13.pak.If i got them,what shall i do with em?
I never touch the stock in anyway since i had to reinstall BZ2 because of that^^

Found it,but it doesn't work.
My iweapon_cheap.odf looks like that:

[Guns]
weaponCount = 4
weaponName1 = "apmini_cheap"
weaponName2 = "aplase_cheap"
weaponName3 = "appumm_cheap"
weaponName4 = "apchain_cheap"

[Cannons]
weaponCount = 7
weaponName1 = "apstab_cheap"
weaponName2 = "appstb_cheap"
weaponName3 = "apsstb_cheap"
weaponName4 = "applas_cheap"
weaponName5 = "apblst_cheap"
weaponName6 = "apmagg_cheap"
weaponName7 = "aptech_cheap"

[Rockets]
weaponCount = 3
weaponName1 = "aptagg_cheap"
weaponName2 = "apfafm_cheap"
weaponName3 = "apshdw_cheap"

[Mortars]
weaponCount = 3
weaponName1 = "apmort_cheap"
weaponName2 = "apmdmg_cheap"
weaponName3 = "apspln_cheap"

[Mines]
weaponCount = 5
weaponName1 = "apflar_cheap"
weaponName2 = "apmcur_cheap"
weaponName3 = "apmits_cheap"
weaponName4 = "approx_cheap"
weaponName5 = "apfntn_cheap"

[Specials]
weaponCount = 4
weaponName1 = "apredf_cheap"
weaponName2 = "apphan_cheap"
weaponName3 = "apsite_cheap"
weaponName4 = "apblnk_cheap"

Added the "s" to test if it works with that..didn't change anything.

ibfact_cheap.odf looks like:

[GameObjectClass]
classLabel = "ibfact"
scrapCost = 0
unitName = "Fabrik"
requireCount = 1
requireName1 = "ibpgen_cheap"
requireText1 = "Build Power"
provideCount = 1
provideName1 = "ibfact_cheap"

[PoweredBuildingClass]
detectRange = 100

[BuildingClass]

[FactoryClass]
buildItem1 = "ivmbike_cheap"
buildItem2 = "ivmisl_cheap"
buildItem3 = "ivtank_cheap"
buildItem4 = "ivrckt_cheap"
buildItem5 = "ivatank_cheap"
buildItem6 = "ivwalk_cheap"
buildItem7 = "ivapc_cheap"
buildItem8 = "ivbomb_cheap"
buildItem9 = "ivintc_cheap"
WeaponConfig = "iweapon_cheap"

[Lod1]


Is this similar to the rec variant,i mean,do i have to add the WeaponConfig = "i/fweapon_cheap" to isdf and scions to force it to work?

What's iweapon.odf?I have to create it,right?
How does it looks like?Or is "weapon" just something like a placeholder for the name of one of the isdf/scion weapons?
