The editor itself is in your Unfinished Business game folder. It is called ja2UBEditor.exe

The map converter is useful for converting maps to/from the format used by Jagged Alliance 2 (JA2 Type 1) and the format useb by Unfinished Business.

There is a UB Map File Editor (MFE) which is used to add civilians, NPC's and tanks to the maps. The Unfinished Business editor can't do this.

Ja2EDT is a useful program, if you want to edit text files used by the game. These include: merc bio's, the text baloons that come up when mercs and NPC's say something, and e-mails. You will need a program to unpack the .slf files to find the .edt files.

The rule is that if the file name doesn't end in .edt, you can't use the Ja2EDT editor on it.

Oh, you may get an error message loading a map after using the map converter. The problem is that the converter saves the map name with the extension .DAT while the unfinished business editor can't handle the uppercase extension. You may have to rename the file from *.DAT to *.dat
