how do you edit a mission
Obviously, this is a Battlezone related question. Rather than answer it myself and pretend I know what I’m talking about, I’m just going to link to the first relevant thing that I found: https://www.scritube.com/limba/engleza/technical/BATTLEZONE-The-MultiPlayer-Map427111420.php.
The servers.dat file you have is an old one. The most current servers.dat file can be found at https://www.bz911.com/anet2/servers.dat. It contains the 5 operational anet servers available today.
Thanks for the heads-up. I’ve changed the links on this site so that they now point directly to the bz911 servers.dat file, in order to make sure everyone gets the latest version
As usual, if you contacted the site, in the last six months, you probably haven’t heard anything back. Good news, though: That all changes today. I’ve gone through and answered all the questions/comments/corrections to the site, so be sure check out the latest Q & A.
In other news, Pandemic Studios, responsible for the creation of Battlezone II, has officially closed its doors. Related to the subject, Pandemic’s Ken Miller, who programmed on 1998’s BZ is working on a 1.5 version patch to the game. You can check out the progress on Ken Miller’s blog or at the Battlezone1.net Forums.

There’s an old saying: “If you can’t afford it, then it’s not for you.” Honestly, a quick search would get you the results way faster than me. For a Battlezone site that is current and up-to-date, check out Battlezone1.net.
Can you believe I am just now playing this game. I am having two problems. One is upgrading to a new weapon I created. Tried just running the ship into it, but it will not pick it up. Of course I already have a limit of weapons. Figure I have to remove one somehow?
Also, I sometime need to gather info on something I find. I place the reticle over the subject and try the I key but nothing seems to happen. I have read to use the T-I key, seems more like it should be “Spacebar”-I key. At any rate, I have then been told of insubordination and game is ended for failing to achieve directives.
Make sure that weapon type matches the hardpoint that your ship has. If you’re in a Scout, for example, there are two hardpoints for a cannon. Trying to put a rocket in there is not going to work.
For the latter part of the question, I’m betting that this happens during mission 3. Be sure to turn the option for Strategy Help off. After that, just get the target reticule over the object, press “I” and you’re good to go.
Zzzz your site is sooo out of date..
CSA WTF it’s CCA Dummy!
Shit, you’re completely right. And the worst part of it all? It’s probably been like that for 10 years. The terminology is correct now, but as far as the rest of the Battlezone section being completely out of date: it’s just an archive at this point, so it’s going to stay that way.
