lol

BZEdit is the original Windows-Editor, I am sure you have it - if not google for it. iBZEdit is a "port" to Mac OS X which lacked a good editor so far. Mainly written by BinarySpike and MACnus it goes beyond BZEdit feature-wise if I remember correctly. They try to integrate grouping and 2.0-objects.
So, to sum it up: there is no iBZEdit for Windows, but there is BZEdit.

iBZEdit is just BZEdit for Mac.
So, you'd need to get a mac...

ibzedit is still under heavy development and does not have all the base map features. The last release does not even have complete teleporter support.

it is hardly "the best" the mac people just like to talk it up.

Blender with the bzw plugins will give you the ability to visualy edit the most bzflag features.

Learn to actually look around the forum before posting, or learn to use the "search" funtion.

iBZEdit will not ever work on windows. I built it as a "base" to get basic objects in, after zones, teleporters, and arcs are working I'm gonna get the license "officially" on it and work on another project.

I just the other day got borders working on teleporters (no rendering yet)

I prefer that anyone that can run the blender plugin, USE IT! I only made iBZEdit to fill the gap while someone worked on something better. as for me, i hope to get tele's working so that users can add that... and I *might* get mesh rendering (no editing) in so you can open models you've built... I already got an obj importer... so I might just link that onto it... so ibzedit can convert obj to bzw

But just depends on the timeframe.
