Henryford: /* Development */

iBZEdit is the name of 2 separate [http://www.apple.com/macosx Apple Mac OS X] [[BZW]] map editors, with a shared history. Neither project is in active development.

== Overview ==
iBZEdit was planned to be one of the first fully featured ''version 2.0'' map editors, and was to support [[mesh|Mesh objects]] and [[material]]s. It was originally begun by [[BinarySpike]] with help from [[macnus]], and was done independent of the mainline BZFlag development community. A basic version was released on the [http://my.bzflag.org/bb BZFlag Forums] that could read some map features and display them.

== Development ==
iBZEdit development was slow, and [[BinarySpike]] discontinued his involvement. The project was then restarted by [[macnus]] on his own. [[macnus]] continued to add features and created a website for the project http://www.ibzedit.sourceforge.net/, but also eventually [http://www.ibzedit.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=39 discontinued his involvement]. Currently, jashephe is attempting to restart the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.OutdoorFountains.com <span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;">outdoor fountains</span>] project yet again, and has released a new version which is Intel, and has packaged it with iBZServer, a graphical server configuration utility.

At present the source code and a number of binary builds can be found at the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/ibzedit iBZEdit SourceForge site].

== Replacement by blender ==
The current accepted method of graphically editing [[BZW]] maps on [http://www.apple.com/macosx Apple Mac OS X] is using the [[BZWTools]] plug-ins for [http://blender.org blender], as they provide a full 2.0 compliant editing system on a large number of platforms.
