About BFIELDZ

BFIELDZ is a complete battlefield creator for Trooperz. The battlefields it generates are compatible with Trooperz 2.1 only. This editor will let you create your own creations to replace the 9 standard ones.

How to use

First delete the battlefield you want to replace. There are 9 battlefields, you must delete one to get your own at its place. To do this, you must delete the zb0# and zb1# files, where # is a number between 1 and 9 depending on the battlefield you chose.
For example, if you want to delete battlefield #1, erase the zb01 and zb11 files. To delete battlefield #2, erase zb02 and zb12. And so on.

Then run bfieldz. The top left picture is a cursor: use all 4 arrows to move around. To paste the cursor picture onto the screen, press ENTER. The cursor SEEMS to disappear, but just press an arrow to see it's still there.
To change the picture of the cursor, press F1. There are 9 pictures you can access to by doing this. To get info, press F2. To debug the program, press F3. To clear the screen, press F4.
To save and quit or just to quit, press F5. You will have to choose a name and a number (the one of the battlefield you have deleted before, which was 1 in our first example). Press ESC to quit without saving, press ENTER otherwise: you have created your own battlefield for Trooperz.

Why only 9 battlefields?

Trooperz 2.1 does not support over 9 battlefields because the open/save system has been centralized, so the restrictions are the same to battlefieldz than they are to saved games. The fact is, it was decided 9 was enough for both. To hack this limitation, modify the zd7 program: find the For-EndFor loop and change 9 to 15, for example. This way, you can go up to 99999 battlefields and saved games (which is quite too long to load...).
