This program lets you start and customize Warzone 2100 to suite your needs.

It comes with custom and original AIs pre-installed. You can assign AIs for each of the 8 players by going to the "AI" tab and selecting AI from drop down list boxes. <Don't change> means that WZS will not modify AI for this player.

At the bottom of this page you will see a list box where you can select so-called "rules". Those are set of general in-game rules which apply to all players.

You will also notice checkboxes next to AIs and rules. By checking a checkbox next to AI (or rules) you will force WZS to use customized version of this AI. Only "GK Customizable" AI (Genghis Khan AI) and "Humans vs AIs" rules support this feature right now. They are customizable.

That means that if you select "GK Customizable" AI, you can click on "Value customizing" buttom on the top right corner of that page and you will be able to customize some values and modify AI behaviour.

In order to make WZS use your, modified, version of AI, you have to make sure that the check-box next to AI-list-box is checked (on the main screen, "AI" tab.)

If you want to use any custom MODs, you can go to the "MODs" screen and enable/disable MODs by checking the check-boxes next to them.

But be carefull, not all MODs are compatible with each other. If you want to be on the safe side, don't enable too many MODs at once (unless those MODs are maps).

If the MOD you selected is a map, WZS will generate preview of the map.

If you will get any error messages in Warzone, when starting a game, it is most likely due to a MOD conflict. You can press "More->Disable unsafe MODs" in WZS, on "MODs" tab to disable MODs which might cause you trobles.
But keep in mind, that some AIs, like WaterAI and Genghis Khan AI are linked to one or more MODs (the MOD is called "Resources" for GK and Water AIs) and if this MOD is disabled (unchecked in WZS), then you will get an error message when loading a map in Warzone.

When you select any AI or Rules, WZS will detect if this AI/Rules is linked to any MODs and enable it automcatically for you.

After you think you have set-up everything, just hit "Start Warzone" button and enjoy.

Thanks to Karmazilla and Grizzly_37 for help with debugging this version of WZS.

PS: i'm sorry for any GUI problems. The size of controls seems to be different on all machines and your gui might look ... well a bit weird. We tried to hunt down all problems, but there might be still some left.
