Installation of EditWorld and things to do before and after installing...
Before Installing
You will need a full installation of Warzone 2100 to use EditWorld.
EditWorld loads Warzone 2100 game data, so you may have to change the destination directory from the default if you have installed Warzone 2100 in a non-standard directory.
Installing EditWorld
EditWorld32 will install itself by default in the C:\Program Files folder.

Render mode setup
There are two rendering modes for EditWorld:
The software-rendering version should work on any machine with DirectX 6 installed, as long as the Windows colour depth is set to 16bit (you can do this using Start → Settings → Control Panel → Display → Settings → Colors).
The hardware-rendering version should work on any machine with DirectX 6 installed and a 3d accelerated video card that features 8MB of video memory and the ability to draw textured 3d in a window, again, ensure your windows display bit depth is set to 16. This version has been tested with the Permedia 2, Matrox G200, ATI Rage Pro and Riva TNT video cards. Voodoo 1 and Voodoo 2 are not supported.
