Can bzw map files be opened only with bzedit? And how do i compile bzedit for linux once i download it?

.bzw is just another extension for world files, which are only text, so no, they can be opened with a text editor as well. As for the Linux version of BZEdit, I've heard compilation problems with it, so I am not sure if it can be compiled, but there is a makefile included.

it's in cvs on sourceforge, but you will need gtkGLArea to build it ( a depriciated lib )

Link? Please? For the depriciated lib i mean, not the sorceforge.

you'll have to find out how to get it for what ever brand of *nix you use. I'll probably be part of a GTK package. Best of luck, I have yet to see anyone except the origonal author get linux BZ edit to build.

Try BzfEd. BzfEd runs under the GNOME-2.x / GTK+-2.4 environment on Linux, and uses OpenGL / gtkglext for visualization. BzfEd is based on bzedit 2.1 source code by David Trowbridge, Dan Kuester, and Jeff Myers.

You can download the source code file <a href="http://www.bzfed.org/prg/bzfed/bzfed-0. ... .tar.gz</a> by clicking <a href="http://www.bzfed.org/prg/bzfed/bzfed-0. ... z">here</a>.

bzfed, try making some RPMs for it. I dont know what system you use, but I'll make one based on my FC3 install if you like.

Never made one before, but I think its easy enough -- just add a paramater someware

bzfed
have you considered commiting your updated sources to the CVS project so that it can have a functioning version?

I have Suse 9.2. I see about making rpms and updating the makefile to support rpms. If you do make rpm FC3 and if it's ok with you, I would like to host the download at bzfed.org.
