Can I change the unit bodies graphics?
The wiki you referred me to(under txt editing) doesn't say any thing about that.

You need a PIE Editor to do that, but i don't know where i download it and how to use it normally, if someone can post some links about this, thanks

I'm using the blender exporter for graphics(though i don't know if it works yet).
I am talking about defining bodies in the txt's. the wiki(http://wiki.wz2100.net/Txt_Editing) don't list a txt file that defines where the graphics file is.

Also how do i open/make .wz files?

Open them like you would open a zip file. You will need a program to do so

A good free zip program is Alzip I assume you know how to change the default program and that you work under windows
The body pie is defined under body.txt, and I pretty sure it says that in the wiki.
This you will find under stats in mp.wz

I'm trying to use pie editor insted of blender but I'm having trouble. i need the .ocx files but the link the wiki gives http://files.warzone2100.de/index.php?d ... ound%2F|VB needs a user name and password.

No, or at least as far as I know.

In skirmish the mod applies to all maps, regardless.

However this would be a very cool feature to have in wz

you can make mods with new maps inside but not maps with a mod^^.

in 1.10 was the same problem.
you can create a "map mod" for 1.10 but the mod changes are on all other maps too.

Right, there is no way to 'turn off' a mod right now.

It will happen, just not yet, until they can enhance the GUI for this kind of stuff.

Just follow the link on the page that tells you that you don't have the correct username/pw and you will eventually find both. If you wonder why this seemingly stupid username/pw-stuff is in place, it's due to some trouble with downloads and bots download creating lots of traffic (several GB/d) just for fun.

Does somebody know how to edit the TXT files with exel, and export them properly again,

I used the import assistant to set the change the (,) to tabs.

After I made my changes, I tried to save the file as CSV and rename it to txt.

Everything looks like before, but the game still doesn't like my new file.
