As far as I know (I am not perfect, nor do I know everything about WZ):

- UV coords are handled in the engine as being in the interval ( 0.0, 1.0 ), 
because that's how OpenGL does it. If the PIE files gave explicit (non 
relative) coords, then those are very probably diveded by the texturesize 
given in the same file when loading into the engine.
This is much more flexible when you are going to resize the textures, Giel.

- You don't need any map editor... You can simply extract the warzone.wz to a 
data/ folder in the same directory and Warzone will load it's stuff from 
there. (Overriding what is in warzone.wz if it finds the same file in data/)

- Binaries are at http://wz2100.net/downloads.html

- Power of 2 textures would bring a performance benefit, correct?
I guess in theory the tiles could be regrouped to fit into a quadratic 
texture, but we'd also have to adapt the maps to this change, I fear.
Generally I like the idea, but someone would have to provide a map converter.

- Vector graphics are probably not practical for textures...
Most textures are photographs or similar, as was said, and for the handmade or 
algorithm-generated ones I don't think vector graphics would be sensible, 
either.
What is defenitely usefull (and nearly required) is the 
GIMP/PhotoShop/Whatever file you created the textures with... Especially if 
you use multiple layers and similar.
