Converters:
--------------
Converter15.zip This is a small utility to traslate coded 3DZ files to text format, and  convert it back to 3DZ format.

Converter18a.zip   This is a small utility to traslate coded 3DZ files to text format, and  convert it back to 3DZ format.

RenameTerrain.zip  TPC to PCX Conversion Program by gpmwapl
Hi-Res EAW Terrain Utility
This very simple utility will rename EAW add-on terrain set files to use hi-res tiles.  EAW was built with 2 different resolutions of terrain tiles.  If you are using an add-on terrain, these tiles have been created as separate low-res and hi-res tile files.  The low-res tiles are 128x128 pixels and named lr*.ter.  The hi-res tiles are 256x256 pixels and named bn*.ter. 

Squadron2txt.zip   EUROPEAN AIR WAR
Squadron to Text Converter
Written by Gurney, VE-Day 2004
This is just a small program that takes any EAW squadron file, and
converts it to a text file, and then back again.  It should make it
easier to understand what is going on in a squadron file instead of
hacking though endless lines of hex code.  It also will place
comments in the files for weapon types.

3DBto3DZ.zip    3DB to 3DZ Converter
By Gurney
The converter will take (hopefully) any Gunship 3DB file and convert it to 3DZ format. You have the option of creating a 3DZ and/or a TXT file output, the TXT file being similar to the one produced by Alessandro's 3DZ Studio. However, the TXT output of the 3DB file is NOT compatible, as it contains extra data and different formatting.

3DZstudio.zip

btools.zip   MailPin EAW Batch ToolsFSMPLANE.WSP MINIPIC PROCESSING
TEXTURE PROCESSING

CDFfile.exe   Attached you will find a very small DOS program (CDFFILE.EXE). I found this 
program by accident when I was trying to install PAW1942 to get the 3DZs. 
Basic installation went OK but during patching (to v1.42 ???) the process 
aborted leaving behind a lot of files including this one.

EAWfaq.txt    FAQ.

EAWnotes    These notes are the result of a lot of detective work, trial and error,  and guesswork, by me and a great number of other EAW fans. They have been collated by me since 1999, originally for my own use. They are a synthesis of everyone's knowledge of EAW that has been shared to date, and are intended as a freely available reference work for anyone interested in editing EAW, the greatest WWII flight sim yet made.
