Try again. I fixed his URL a bit (had a stray /url at the end, probably from a [/url] tag)

Says safari is an unsupported browser. Or downloads an HTML file.

Edit.. I did get it to download, by clicking the link near "ourstage"

Your link was incorrect in your first post, but blast fixed it for you. Optic Delusion also said he got it working.

I meant the binary. I made one that should be universal--

I downloaded and opened the program. It starts fine, shows an 'empty map'. However, when trying to create objects like boxes etc I get the three positioning arrows but no visible object. It crashes when trying to open most maps or does nothing at all (even for simple 1.10.x-maps like hix). So basically I get it up and running, but cant do anything with it.

I wonder if thats bzworkbench's or your fault.

Oh.. and it looks like Windows 95. But I think thats the way it has to be for now.

welcome to development code.

bzworkbench is no no way done nor really usable. We need people to finish it.

I'm not entirely sure why people seem to think that building it for [INSERT PLATFORM HERE] will somehow magically make it done or work.

The majority of the work on the project is done on the backend, it has nearly no end user interface.

It was more of a proof-of--concept port. I just wanted to see if I could do it. I still us iBZEdit & a good text-editor to make my maps. I agree, that the current UI is kinda ugly; I would like to see an editor made in QT4, but then again I really have no ground to give orders

Technically, no one has any grounds to give orders. This is an open-source project that always welcomes help. I am not someone who could say whether QT4 is a direction we want this to move, but if you have the experience and the will it wouldn't hurt to discuss it out on the IRC channel #bzflag with the developers. The worst that can happen is them saying no... well.. except if they say yes.

I didnt expect it to be "done" or "usable", I was just puzzled if something went wrong while jpenguin made the build or if he did everything fine and bzworkbench just isnt into usable stages yet.

I havent followed the development closely enough, so I didnt know. Thanks for the status update.

It really doesn't matter, but- why was the thread for the Windows build made sticky an this thread isn't sticky?

Because it was created while the program was still in active development.

As well, it was built by a developer, so it's more "official".
